* THE KING'S MESSAGE

The King and Queen sent message of fympathy from Wind sor Castle to-day to Lady du Maurier on the death of her hus band, Sir Gerald du Maurier. It said

The King and Queen are griev• ed to hear of the death of your husband, and assure you” and your family of their heartfelt sympathy in "your sorrow.

"Their Majesties realise, what a loss Sir Gerald, du Maurier will be, not only to the profession, mi which he held such an eminent position; but also to his many friends and admirers outside.

(Signed) CLIVE WIGRAM. The "Evening Standard" learns that the funeral will take place privately at Golders Green Crema- torium early to-morrow morning.

When the estate of Sir Gerald Is valued for probate it will reveal that he died a comparatively poor

man.

Throughout his life he was a generous giver to charities,

A relative told the "Evening Standard" to-day: "He was gen- erous to a point of foolishness. He could never bear to see any- one in need."

One of Bir Gerald's favourite- charities was the Actors' Orphana- ge. It is estimated that during the 20 years he was president he con- tributed more than £10,000. He raised many more thousands by personal appeals to his friends.

Another orphanage in which Str Gerald was actively interested was

the Actors' Benevolent Fund.

Mr. Grey, the secretary, said:

"Sir Gerald was generous to a fault. In the last 10 or 12 years he benented the fund by at least £10,000."

The Hampstead General Hospital authorities remember Sir Gerald a "the most generous of men." He was a member of the hospital. council for 18 years, and in the last 10 years gave something like 500 to the hospital out of his own pocket. He was instrumental in
