Died. John ("Handsome Jack") Gilbert, ne Pringle, 38, onetime "great lover" of silent cinema: of a heart attack; in Hollywood. He went to Hollywood in 1915, rose through the ranks of film extras, finally starred in The Big Parade, won a $500,000 contract with MGM. Though he preferred characters that "live, breathe and sweat," fandom worshipped him as Garbo's ardent lover in Flesh and the Devil, Love. A squeaky voice doomed his talkie career, and he faded from public view. At the modest Hollywood funeral were two of his four divorced wives.

Died. Anne Moen Louise Bryant Reed, 41, widow of Harvardman and Soviet Hero John Reed, onetime wife of U. S. Ambassador to U. S. S. R., William Christian Bullitt; of cerebral hemorrhage; in Sevres, France. Pretty, sharp-witted, she married Reed in 1917, followed him from Greenwich Village to Moscow, became a champion of the Bolsheviki, a close friend of Lenin. When Reed died of typhus in 1920, she wrote for Hearst, wangled the first interview from Mussolini. In 1923 she married Socialite Bullitt, bore his daughter Anne in 1924, was divorced by him in 1930 for "personal indignities." Thereafter, in constant financial difficulties, she made her home in Paris.

S. cinema theatres, carried cinemansion magnificence to fabulous Byzantine heights in his own theatre, The Roxy; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. In 1934 he lost his job as manager of Rockefeller Center's theatres.

Died. John Francis ("Red Mike") Hylan, 67, two-term Mayor of New York City (1918-25); of a heart attack; in Queens. A farm boy from upstate New York, he left home at 19, worked as a common laborer before he studied law. Boosted from a city magistrate's insignificance by Tammany and Hearst in their effort to defeat Reformist John Purroy Mitchel, he won the mayoralty election in 1917, fought with his party on transit policy. Finally repudiated by Tammany, which preferred James J. Walker's lighter touch, Hylan ran against Walker and lost in the primaries, was appointed by his successor a Children's Court Justice.
