the moment he made his name in the never-to-be-forgotten "Miracle Man" he lived for his great art. On the screen he will be terribly missed, He had a marvellous per- sonality, and he was a very great actor. It will be sad for his legions of admirers to see and hear him, and to realise he is no more with us; but his legacy is his great life work, so we must be thankful, and go to praise him.
