And this sort of thing actually happens in the theater now and then: When Dustin Farnum was dying a few weeks ago, his brother, William Farnum, was to open in a new play that very night. William had not ppeared on the stage in many a ear, Since his film career came to a sudden end, he had slowly faded out of the picture—though once he had seemed to be on the peak of the wave, with a vast national following. The two brothers were closer than most brothers generally are. There Was a tremendous affection. Wil- liam rushed to Dustin's deathbed— and, as newspaper readers know— Dustin died. And that night William opened in his play. The actor had to give way to the man. The performance was one of the finest in his career. It received loud plaudits from the crit- ‘ics. And from the theater, William Farnum returned to his grief. The play, as you know, must go on | whatever happens! GILBERT SWAN. (Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.)
