FRANK BAGON, ALL TIRED OUT, I3 DEAD Strioken With Heart Attack Alter Playing “Lightin'” 5,000 Tmes Chicago, Nov. 20.—Frank Bacon, one of America's foremost character actors, dled suddenly at 8:40 o'clock jvesterday morning at the Hotel Del Prado here. 5 Compelled to relinquish his part in the drama “Lightnin’,” which he had pfayed more than 2,000 performances, the famous star left the Blackstone hotel last Sunday and went to the Del Prado, to be near his personal friend and physician, Dr. Robert A. Black. “I am tired and ready to take a little rest,” he told his wife as he left the Blackstone theater after what proved to be his last performance on Saturday night a week ago. His own werds explain more nearly the cause of his death than doctors’ statements. His end had come and he passed on. To those who assert that his death was the result of over- work Mrs. Bacon replies that “his work was his life, providing a stim- ulant without which death would possibly have called him sooner.” Not until Friday night was his {11 ness considered dangerous. On Satur- day morning his mind was unusually keen, according to his nurses. At that time, they say, he discussed general topics of the day, including the defeat of Lloyd George and the return of Lady Astor to parliament. Although confined to his room throughout the week, Mr. Bacon was able to move about and to keep in touch with the outside world through newspapers. At about 11 o'clock Saturday morning Mr. Bacon suffered a heart attack and fell into a coma. He never recov- ered consciousness. With him at the end were his wife, who shared his years of struggle and near-poverty, and his daughter, Mrs. Bessie Allen, who arrived Saturday night from Kansas City, where she had been playing the leading woman part in her-father's play with the road company. A son, Lloyd Bacon, director for Lioyd Hamilton, motion plcture star, will arrive in Chicago Tuesday morning. He left Los An- gceles this mornirg. To Hold Memorial Services. At the request of Mrs. Bacon, who is prompted by what she is confident would have been her husband's wish, memorial services will be held Wed- nesday morning at the Blackstone theater, where he appeared daily for more than a year. Ex-Judge Kene- saw Mountain Landis, a close personal friend of Mr. Bacon, will deliver a short eulogy and the services will be conducted by the Christian Science church, of which Mr. Bacon was a member. The body will be taken from the theater to a vault, where it will be left until next summer. At that time it is planned to remove it to Mountain View, Cal, his boyhood home. Ing in the San Jose public schools. At 14 he went to work on a sheep ranch, where he remained for three years, until he became an apprentice 1y he established a studio of hig own. At the end of four years he decided to do newspaper work. His first job was an advertising solicitor for The o) itching It stops itching almost instantly— Contains nothing that could injure irritate the tenderest skin— years, \ @ be obtained ffom your nearest store at small cost—one jar for many treatments.

It was while he was a newspaper man that he entered politics, running for membership in the state assembly. He never was elected to office. Dis- satisfled with newspapers and poll- tics, he returned to San Jose and joined a stock company, or, to put it in his own words, he “turned respect- able and became an actor.” Then came years of drudgery, in stock and repertoire, and incidentally, 17 years at the Alcazar theater in San Fran- cisco. His career there was terminat- ed by the earthquake. His Wife a Schoolmate. Mr, Bacon came East, where he played for 14 years in various preduc- tions and also in vaudeville, with his! wife, formerly Miss Jennie Weidman, whom he married June 27, 1885, The marriage was the culmination of a romance dating back to the days when they had both attended the same grammar school in San Jose. The Blackstone theater was dark last night out of respect for the de- parted master, It will remain closed until Wednesday night, the manage- ment announced. One of the finest tributes paid to Mr. Bacon was that of his manager, George Kingsbury, who said: “A kindly man, of simple tastes, who gave much to the public that he served and asked little in return. Ba- ¢on was known to his friends in the profession s much for the big, human} man he was as for his sterling quali- ties as an actor. He really dled on the Saturday night when he gave his last performance—and his greatest.” The popular esteem in which he was held is shown by the register in the lobby of the Blackstone theater.

More than 100,000 autographs are contained in the numerous volumes, their writers hail- ing from every conceivable corner or‘ the globe, and all paying tribute to the rare genius of their host. Frank Bacon's play “Lightnin’” broke all records and eclipsed all past successes. It ran in New:York for three years and a day—a total of 1,- 291 consecutive performances. Old Friends Mourn, San Francisco, Nov. 20.-—In Sutter i county, his birthplace, in the the- atrical district of San Francisco and in the Santa Clara valley, Frank Ba- con, creator of “Lightnin’” and the principal character in the cast, is ‘be- ing mourned today. For in his death at Chicago yesterday vanished a most pretentious theatrical wish-—the an- ticipation of Frank’s return to his old haunts in the role which made him famous. As a barefoot boy in the great Sac- ramento valley between the Sierras and the coast range, as an advertising solicitor in early manhood, as a pho- tographer, and then as the actor,| jFrank Bacon found contacts throughout California which made the first story of his success in "Lightnin’ " a cherished bit of news. i At the Lincoln district schoel in Sutter county the children today heard the story of his death and his success recited in the classroom in which he had once been a pupil. On the Harris ranch,” where his| cousin, Mrs. Mary Stoker, remember- ed his boyhood activities, the picture of his smile lingers. In Marysville, | where the stage coaches made head- quarters in his days, carrylng miners |'to the mother lode town, he left his impress on the old timers. In San Francisco, it was his assocl- | ! ates on the early day stage in “Ten Nights In a barroom” and in the “ten, twenty, thirty” shows in which he appeared who chatted reminiscently about him.

A copy of the senator's letter of resignation has been handed to Vice-President Cool- idge, who will notify the senate of Mr. Newberry's action. This will end the senate's connection with the New berry case, . By resigning at this time, on_the eve of the assembling of congress in extra sesslon, Mr. Newberry has saved himself from a renewed attempt to have his seat declared vacant, which Is a euphemism for expulsion, Sen- ator Caraway? democrat, of Arkansas, announced last night, before the fact of Senator Newberry's resignation be- came known, that vien congress as- sembled tomorrow he would offer a resolution to deprive Mr. Newberry of his seat before he had an opportun- ity to resign. As the resignation probably already has become effective, this ‘resolution seems to have been deprived of its purpose, but it is so worded that Mr. Caraway may try to get action on it in spite of Vice-Presi- dent Coolidge’s announcement to the senate that Mr. Newberry had vol- untarily retired. A His Letter of Resignation Senator Newberry's letter of resig- nation, sent to Governor Groesbeck, reads: Detroit, Mich,, Nov. 19, 1922, Hon. Alex J.
