DEATH CLAIMS I NOTED AUTHOR Don Marquis. Noted Humorist, Dies After LonK Illness New York. Dec. 29 <U.P) Don Miirquis, who gave the world such lovable. If salty, characters as I Archy the Cockroach, Mehltabel I 'he Cut and the old soak, died today before the world hud oppor- ( (unity to ease the financial hard--ns of his last Illness Next month, had Marquis lived, his friend-, would have staged a benefit entertainment for him —; an entertainment they hoped would lift the 36.000 mortgage on his sisters' home and provide him with all the medical attention and com-1 i fort he needed. For months the 59 year-old auth-1 or and playwright had been so ill that he rarely spoke, recognized I his friends with difficulty and lived in a virtually soundless and color- j less world Despite that, however, the mat) i whose wry humor and tart wisdom delighted u great audience kept i alive the spirit which animates I the indomitable Mehltabel. One of ' the last words Marquis spoke was !a resounding "damn." Two weeks ago Marquis roused ; himself. Dr. Harry A March, his friend and physician, reported the i occasion. "He came back a little last Mon- : day." the doctor said, "and spoke i a few words the first one was 'damn'!" Marquis first serious illness struck in 1923, when he was afflicted with pneumonia. Nine years later a hemorrhage left him partially blind A newspaper reported called on i him with condolences. Marquis ; would have none of them and when ; the reported gathered up his notes to go back to the office and write his story, the stricken author commanded: "Put a cheerful kick into it." He followed that command all his life, and it made his "sun dial" column in the New York Sun one of the most brilliant in American i I newspaper history.
