Show OREM-GENFVA TIMZS THURSDAY, JUNE 9, $4 QxvfL A RE PEOPLE happier because of roar presence? Maybe you don't know, but h wouldn't take much of an effort for you to find out There are certain things that can be counted on to make people happy. Laughter is one of them. People like you if you lighten their hearts ; a little child, even a baby, likes yoo if you make him laugh. 1949 D. Carnegia Don Marquis, who in 193S went on to what I am sure is his Great Reward, will be remembered remem-bered by his friends with tenderness and appreciation ap-preciation as long as they live. He made them happier by his presence while on earth. He will be remembered by readers and students for how long no one can foretell. His publishers bring out a new edition of his works every few years, and the sales are as great as when Don lived. It makes people happier to read Don't work. Not long ago I paid a call on Don's sister who lives near my home. A representative of the oil company was there. We spoke of Don, and his writings. Said he: "I subscribed sub-scribed for the newspaper he was writing for 20 years ago just to read what Mr. Marquis' characters, Archy and Mehitabel, had to say about this and that I still take the paper, but I don't read it much any more." Don originated clever lines that have been cribbed and used by dozens of writers. It was he who said, at the Players Club in New York, one night, "I know I ought to go home and get to work, but I'm not going to let my will power get the best of me." My friend, Homer Croy, says that Don was easily the most popular member of that club. And when Don died, they held a memorial for him in one of the biggest theaters in New York. Seats sold for $5, $10 and fl5. There wasn't a vacant seat in the house ! The memorial consisted not of mournful eulogies, but of entertainment that made the audience laugh, Don would have preferred it that way, aad Christopher Morley, the chairman, and one of Don's prized friends, knew that So they laughed at what Don had written and said. They had such a good time that after the curtain fell, they were reluctant reluct-ant to go home. "It was," said one friend, "as if we were now saying good-bjr good-bjr to Doa for the last time." People who had aever net before hung around talking together abort this great artist oi- the literary world.
