Church to Booth p.th of Forbes-Robertson, 84, Is Dead; Long Famous as English Actor Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson in two of his most famous Third Floor Back" (left) and as Hamlet. Memory of His Work Cherished by Brooklynites -He Made His Last Appearance at Majestic Theater Here in 1916 London, Nov. 6 (AP)-Sir Johnston Forbes- Robertson, for a generation one of the great figures of the English stage, died today at his home at St. Margaret's Bay, near Dover.

At his bedside were his wife and three daughters, including Diana Sheean, who is the wife of the United States author, Vincent Sheean. The fame dactor was 84. Sir Johnston Forbes- Robertson, who was born Jan. 16, 1853, in London, is still a prominent name in the memory of Brooklyn theatergoers. His appearances here were chronicled as gala events.

It was here, at the Majestic Theater, in the week of April 10, 1916, that he gave his final professional performance in America. He appeared later on in many benefit performances and in 1919 he again thrilled Brooklynites with a reading of "Hamlet" which was regarded by critics as the greatest role of a great actor. He appeared before an audience that packed the auditorium of P. S. 84 at Stone and Sutter Aves.

The Brooklyn Civic Forum had secured him for one of his lectures. Memorable Night How much Brooklyn loved the actor was illustrated on the night of April 15, 1916. The curtain had gone down on the last act of "The Passing of the Third Floor Back." The Majestic Theater was filled and there were many rows of standees. Sir Johnston had acknowledged half a dozen curtain calls, but the audience refused to leave. The proscenium lights were lowered and stage hands were already clearing away the scenery but demand for another glimpse of the actor continued.

The actor had retired to his dressing room. The applause continued for more than 20 minutes. And finally he appeared and thanked people of Brooklyn for their "generosity." Brooklyn, however, was not alone in veneration of the actor. Everywhere in America his appearances brought enthusiastic theatergoers who came to marvel at his art on the stage and remained to applaud him long and sincerely. England regarded him as the outstanding actor of his day.

King George knighted him and in 1913 the Critics Circle, consisting of most of the famous theatrical critics of the British Empire, went beyond their printed reviews and sent him a letter conveying the appreciation of all its members of his "great art and unfailing courtesy to the press." Retirement Regretted Interest in Sir Johnston Forbes- Robertson was maintained rather intensively over a period of years. It WAS in 1913 that his "farewell performance" and his "retirement" from the stage first brought expressions of regret from critics and theatergoers both here and in England. But that last performance actually took place three years later, if the subsequent benefit performances, recitals, readings and lectures are not taken into account. It was in Brooklyn that he laid aside his mantle as a professional actor. George Bernard Shaw, writing in The Eagle of April 2.

1916, expressed keen appreciation of the art displayed by the actor in his portrayal of Hamlet. Le Galliene's Tribute In 1914, when it was thought "sure" that Forbes-Robertson had Rules Strike Is Ended When Jobs Are Competently Filled Los Angeles, Nov. 6 (U.P)-A strike is legally ended and picketing becomes unlawful when the strikers have been replaced by "competent help." Superior Judge Emmet H. Wilson decided in a ruling on file today. The decision favored a string of markets.

They asked for an injunction against picketing by the Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union. After the markets filed affidavits showing Boro Saengerbund Marks 75th Year The Brooklyn Saengerbund. German singing group, last night celebrated its 75th anniversary with a banquet and ball at the clubhouse, 241 Park Place, attended by more than 250. The organization, which has always met in the vicinity of Borough Hall, was founded in July, 1862, and held its first meetings in Schwerg's Hall, Fulton St. At ut a year later the club moved to 200 Court St.

but suffered such heavy losses when fire demolished the building that it was found expedient to join the Northeastern Saengerbund. Clubhouse Built in 1883 In 1883, with Julius Lehrenkrauss as president, property was purchased and a clubhouse erected at Smith and Schermerhorn which became a favorite center of German groups in Brooklyn for many years, It was at this time that a ladies society was orgar and five years later a ladies chorus formed. In 1921 the clubhouse sold and was the mansion at the corner of Park Place and Vanderbilt. which is the present home of the club, was purchased. Dr.

Gotthard C. Seyforth, president of the Northeastern Saengerbund, was the principal speaker last night. Five members who joined the club 50 years ago were the guests of honor. They are Herman Mueller, Fred Rehn. William Boormann, Ernest Vergmann and Max Koepper.

Carl Mahler is president of the club and Hans Fredhoven the director of music. that the strikers' jobs had been filled, Judge Wilson ruled: "A strike is terminated when the strikers' positions are filled with competent help, at customary wages. without the payment of a bonus and when the employer's business has returned to a normal basis and picketing may thereupon be enjoined. "Picketing after a strike has terminated is just as unlawful as picketing when there has been no strike at all."
