O'Neill, Jr., Death Follows Greek Tragedy Pattern
Woodstock, N. Y.—(U.P.)—An unsuccessful love affair drove Eugene O'Neill, Jr., classics scholar and son of the famous playwright, to commit suicide in the manner of Greek tragedies, friend said today.
The 40-year-old goated profes-
or slashed the artery in his左
wrist Tuesday as he sat in an empty
bathtub in his lonely mountain-top
house a mile from the Woodstock
Artists colony. Then he slashed
at his legs and staggered downstairs
to die.
O'Neill's engagement to Ruth Lander, 35, a blonde artists' agent, was announced Friday night at a champagne party at a local inn. They were to have been married next Saturday, but friends said Miss Lander broke the engagement almost immediately. It would have been the third marriage for both.
"On Saturday afternoon Mr. O'Neill learned that Miss Lander had changed her mind," said Mrs. Margaret Reed Kenyon, a close friend of the couple. "There was another
man. Mr. O'Neill just couldn't take it. He had been very despondent ever since."
O'Neill, who specialized in the study of Greek drama, chose the manner of suicide favored by classic tragedians. He left a note in the bathroom which added scholarly overtones to his death. It read:
"Never let it be said of O'Neill that he failed to empty a bottle. Ave Atque Vale."

The paintings, which cover 30 years of work, are scenes of domestic life and landscape views in Italy, Palestine, Germany, and Kansas. Concerning them, Dr. John Maxon, director of the museum of art, said, "These paintings are representative of the work of traditional German artists as they existed prior to World War I. Of more than passing interest are the views of St. Peter's in Rome and the Mosque of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem."
Mr. Schocken was born in Plaschern, Germany, in 1874. As a young man he studied and then practiced law, turning to serious painting in

A Very IMPORTANT 'Movie' Is Coming To This Theatre!
It is a special occasion when this theatre has the privilege of presenting a motion picture of such scope, beauty and stature. The story of a white man's love for an Indian girl, and a vision that won the West for all Americans, red and white.
This film I can unqualifiedly recommend. It is great entertainment.
