Barrymore's Death Ends a Great Career
Lionel Barrymore, who died last night at 76 in Hollywood of a heart attack, uttered Shakespeare's immortal lines about "the way to dusty death" just before he died.
By UNITED PRESS
The gruff-voiced old man known to millions through motion pictures, radio, and the theater for half a century was stricken at his home Sunday night as he sat in his familiar wheelchair reciting his favorite Shakespeare soliloquy. In it, MacBeth says:
" . . . And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle, life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. "
The patriarch of American actors suddenly could not catch his breath. Mrs. J. E. Wheeler and her family, with whom Mr. Barrymore had lived since his second wife died 18 years ago, helped him to the door for fresh air.
When he continued to gasp, they called his doctor, John Ewing, who rushed the veteran actor to Valley hospital. At midnight he sank into coma. Then he suffered a second heart attack. He died at 9:15 (CST) last night with the Wheeler family and his doctor at his bedside.
His sister, Ethel Barrymore, was too shocked to comment immediately and went into seclusion.
Friends said she saw her brother last week and remarked he was not looking well. The actor had been under daily care by a doctor for the past two weeks. For years he had suffered from uremic poisoning, a kidney ailment, which weakened his condition, Dr. Ewing said.
Mr. Barrymore's last appearance before the public was on his regular CBS radio show, "The Hallmark Hall of Fame," last Sunday. His
friend, Edward Arnold, will substitute for him next Sunday.
The last movie of the oldest of the Barrymores was "Lone Star" with Ava Gardner and Clark Gable in 1952. Mr. Barrymore still was under contract at MGM, where he had worked since 1926. The cantankerous actor recently grumbled that he wanted to work, and demanded the studio give him roles or allow him to appear on television.
Radio fans remember him best for his annual portrayal of the grumpy Scrooge of the CBS Yuletide version of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." To moviegoers he was the great star of the recent "Dr. Kildare" series and of such classics as "Grand Hotel," "Dinner at Eight," "Camille" and "Captains Courageous." He won an academy award in 1931 for his performance in "A Free Soul."
The Psychology club will have a meeting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the English Room of the Student Union.
Psychology Group Will Meet Thursday
The program will open with a series of brief skits by members of Gamma Phi Beta sorority and then move to a panel discussion. The panel, composed of Dr. Anthony Smith, chairman of the department; Dr. Eric M. Wright, Director of Clinical Service, and two graduate students in the department, will discuss "Careers in Psychology".
Next season KU will drop UCLA and SMU from its football schedule.
Tenor Will Give Voice Recital
William Wilcox, graduate student,
will present a graduate recital at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Strong auditorium.
He is a pupil of Reinhold Schmidt,
professor of voice.
Fred Harris in 1934 kicked a 76-yard punt for Kansas against Nebraska.
The program will include three selections by Mozart, two by E. Chausson, two by G. Faure, four songs by G. Mahler and six by R. Vaughan Williams.
Tenor Wilcox will be assisted by Virginia Vogel, pianist, Donald Stewart, violinist; Willis Armstrong, violinist; Wilbur Kent, violist; and Dale Kempter, cellist.
Since June 1953 Wilcox has appeared in several major productions at KU in leading roles, including "Die Fleddermaus," "Secret of Suzanne," "Don't We All," and "Martha."
While carrying on his graduate program, he has also been teaching voice and directing the women's glee club at Baker university.
Tryouts for Shaw Production Slated
Tryouts for the Studio theater production of George Bernard Shaw's "Great Catherine" will be held from 3-5 p.m. today through Thursday in Green theater.
Roles in the play range from the fiery empress; her barbaric general, Patiamkin; and her courtiers, to the very proper English ambassador and his financee. Sergeants, court chamberlains, and ladies-in-waiting complete the cast.
The play will be presented Monday, Dec. 13 through Thursday, Dec. 16 in Green theater.
Missouri started this football season with 19 lettermen back from last year.

Defense Policies to Get Hard Look from Democrats
NOW • 2-7-9

Senate Republican leader William F Knowland called for a sweeping review of U.S. defense and foreign policies in a Senate speech late yesterday.
Washington—U.P.)—Senate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson gave his assurances today that the Democrats will take a hard look at the administration's defense policies when they take over Congress in January. *

He said congressional committees should call in State and Defense department officials "promptly" to decide whether policy changes should be made in the light of Russia's effort to sell the world on "peaceful co-existence."
"It is my belief that the Soviet Union is advancing the Trojan horse of co-existence only for the purpose of gaining sufficient time to accomplish what we may term atomic stalemate," he said. Actually, however, co-existence can only lead to eventual Communist victory, he said.
There was no immediate indication whether the present Republican-led congressional committees would act on Sen. Knowland's suggestion. But Sen. Johnson said as soon as the Democrats take control the foreign and armed services committees will hold hearings on administration policies. He said defense policies also will be reviewed thoroughly by appropriations committees.
Democratic Senators Paul H. Douglas (III.), Stuart Symington (Mo.), and Herbert H. Lehman (N.Y.) said one subject of review should be defense budget cuts ordered by the administration.
Senators Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.) and Leverett Saltontill (R-Mass.), armed services committee chairman, joined Mr. Knowland in asserting that the question should not be budget cuts but comparative "fire power" in the fighting forces.
Sen. Knowland suggested that somewhere between 1957 and 1960 the Russians may be on a par with the United, States in nuclear weapons development. Then, he said, the Russians probably will start "nibbling" away at the nations on the free world's periphery.
The worst beating given Missouri by Kanass was a 32 to 0 passing in 1930.
Missouri beat the Jayhawks 45 to 6 in 1941 for the worst licking in the series.
