Death took place early yesterday morning shortly after five o'clock iu the presence of him wife and bro- ther. The famous Shakespearean play- er was a well-known figure in Paris, where he had enjoyed the unique distinction of appearing by special request from the French Govern: ment in the state-subventioned Odeon Theatre and being decorated with the Legion of Honor after the performance.

Hackett, noted actor, in Pars came as a shock to theatre- goers, hundreds of whom have been king forward to seeing him act ja-scene from Macbeth before the g and Queen at Drury Lane eatrp this afternoon. Hackett was to participate in a performance for the benefit of the Shakespeare mem- orial theatre at Stratford. Like hls father, Hackett was well known in England where he made his first ap- pearance on the 'London stage in 1920 when he acted Macbeth. -- Favorite of Fortune. The lap of fortune was piled high _swith lavish gifts for James Ketel tas Hackett, Why at the age of 24 was the youngest leading man on the American stage; at 45 fell heir Lc $1,000,000, and @ few 'years er, in 1931, was honored by of. ficlals of the Governments of both 'England and France for his Inter pretation. of "Macbeth" and other espearean plays. r. Hackett's most notable early successes were "The, Prisoner -of Zenda" and Ms sequel, "Rupert of Hentzan," and "The Pride of Jen- nico" in the late 90's, under the management of Dantel Frohman. It was not until 1914 that he essayed Shakespearean roles, in the first of which, "Othello," he scored an im- late success. © years later, at the Criterion eatre, New York, he produced "Macbeth." Both productions wera remarkable, for the lavish manner in which they were staged. In the meantime he had become an actor- manager, leasing two theatres in Ney York and forming co-partner- s%2s in Chicago, Boston and ---- ; Norn in, Canada. "James K. Huckett was born on Wolfe Island, near Kingston, Ont. "on September €th, 1889; of Amer: can parents summering in Canada. His father, James H.

A few of them once Walked through the streets of Kingston, to and from their classes at Queen's, wearing the gown and the mortar board. Those were the days when one heard a good deal about "town and gown" and there used to be an odd street fight when students clashed with roughs. The students of the nine- ties and on till a few years ago bore no special] mark of the university, beyond carrying their books. Now the old alewmn. view -the freshmen wearing the Balmoral c# as a dis- taguishing badge of first-year uni- versity connection. In the old days the freshmen were more humble than they are to-day, and there was not the need of the restrictions and punishments imposed in these days, because thirty and forty years ago the Queen's student kept at his books five nights a week and was not disturbed by the call of the motion picture theatre or a lady- love. To-day' things are changed, and the student has more difficulty getting down to study even in a small city like Kingston. These | things the older alumni will observe and appreciate. : It will interest the graduates of the eighties and nineties also' to note 'that it was in their day that practically all of the spirited Queen's songs were composed. The songs of those decades survive and always will be sung at the old Scot- tish university. What new genera- tion of students could improve upon the Queen's Gaelic yell, "The Old Ontario Strand," and "Queen's Col- lege Colors We Are Wearing Once Again," which thrill the Queen's students to-day as deeply as those of three decades ago. The visiting alumni see great ad- vances In the pile of university buildings, the teaching staft and the courses of study, but the old Queen's spirit of service and sacri- fice is still there. This spirit has been handed down from class to class, afd so long as it is held aloft as the motto of the old Kingston university, piloted through ' four score and six years by Machar, Snod- grass, Mackerras, Grant, Gordon and Taylor, Queen's will continue to hold a unique place among the seats of learning of the world. 300 KILLED BY TIDAL WAVE AND TYPHOON Philippine Islands Visited by Another Horror--People Swept Away.
