Frank Morgans
Death Mourned
By Hollywood
By Aline Moshy
(llnitril I'ru lii.Hvwuuil CurrtJn,ient I
Hollywood. Si'pt. 19 -- The
movie industry and fans through
out the mi I Ion today mourned the
death of Frank Morgan, beloved i
comedian whose sly chuckle and
skillful double-take carried him
through nearly four decades oX
lame.
Morgan died in his sleep at his
lleverly Hills mansion yesterday.
He was 59. A doctor said death
apparently resulted from a heart
attack. His wife of 35 years, Al
ma, found him dead when she
awoke at noon.
"He just went to sleep and nev
er woke up." said his business
manager, Mrs. Margerite Corry.
Funeral arrangements were in
complete. Morgan had spent Saturday
evening at home, holding a quiet
dinner party with his son. George.
32, his wife and two house guests,
and went to bed about 11.
Was Hard Worker
Friends said his health had nev
er appeared better. Recently he
had taken up swimming in addi
tion to his long-standing sport as
a yachtsman.
The jovial hard-working actor
had Just finished a part in "Key
to the City" at MGM, where he
had been under contract since he
came to Hollywood in 1333 andj
was reaoy to piay mmaio Bin
in "Annie Get Your Gun."
Morgan was born in New York
City in 1890. the son of a wealthy
importer, George Wupperman.
He worked as a toothbrush sales
man, cowboy, ship stoker and
dishwasher and then went on the
stage when he heard that his
brother Ralph, rmw 61, had given
up a law career to become an ac-
tor. He took his brother's stage
name of Morgan.
After making good in vaude
ville, Mdrgan played in "Rosalie,"
"Seventh Heaven." and "Gentle
men Prefer Blondes," then played
in two silent movies produced in
New York.
- Did Character Roles
Then he headed for Hollywood
and won parts in early talkies.
Later, his graying hair brought
him tharacter roles as an aging
roue with a wandering eye for a
pretty leg. But as a dramatic ac
tor he won two nominations for
academy awards, for "The Af
fairs of Cellini" and "Tortilla
Flat."
To play a broken-down baseball
player in "The Stratton Storv,"
he recently shaved his mustache
for the first time in 10 years. It
had grown back by thetime he
died.
His marriage to the former Al
ma Muller, New York socialite,
was one of the happiest in Holly
wood. Louis B. Mayer, Morgan's boss
at MGM, said he "made the
world a happier place for the
laughter he brought into it. His
passing is a deep personal loss to
me and to all in the studio who
enjoyed the inspiration of his
friendship."
IT'S ALL COTTON, AND A RECORD LOAD There are 25 bales of cotton in this truck, and
ginners at Hargii, Tex., think it's a world's record load. The load of cotton 25,430 pounds of it
was grown by W. D, Woodruff on a farm near Hargii.
