"Sentimental Bloke" Author Is Dead

Melbourne,

C. J. Dennis, known throughout the Enghsi speaking world as author of "The Sentimental Bloke," died in a prente hospital in Melbourne, at the age of 61.

A frail, quiet ittle man who knew human nature well, he knew especial- ly well what was hidden under the roughest exteriors because he had lived and worked with men of all types, suffered hardships and enjoyed pleasures.

He created an entirely new Austra- Han form of humour combined with sentiment, in a languuge seldom em- ployed in verse. He obtained amus- ing effect with an entirely original

manner.
