O’CONNOR AND HORNE TEAM—This was the famous enter
tainment team of O’Connor and Horne which sang and played
for seven Presidents. Mr. O’Connor (left) was the vocalist and
Mr. Horne, who died on Decamber 23, 1935, accompanied him on
the piano. —Harris-Ewing Photo.
O'Connor
sciousness. Mrs. O’Connor summoned
Dr. Charles W. Ordman, 3900 Ca
thedral avenue. Dr. Ordman said
Mr. O’Connor died of a heart at
tack.
Mr. O'Connor appeared in excel
lent spirits last night at the dinner
which opened the Group Hospitali
zation meeting, according to F. P.
Rawlings, jr.. general manager. He
sat in on his last dinner as a trustee
of an important welfare group, in
keeping with a lifetime of unselfish
community service.
Surviving are his widow, a son,
George H., jr., who recently was dis
charged from the Navy and now
is attending Georgetown University
Law School; a daughter, Helen
Louise, and a brother, Dr. Charles
E. O’Connor of Washington.
Mr. O’Connor, a native of Wash
ington, was born August 20,1874, son
of the late Capt. Patrick E. O’Con
nor and Ellen McCarthy O'Connor.
He was educated at Gonzaga High
School. St. John’s Military Academy
at Alexandria, Va.; Georgetown
University, and National University
Law School.
An Able Business Man.
Mr. O'Connor was in constant
demand for dinners and entertain
ments in Washington and this de
mand stretched over so many years
that he had become a beloved fix
ture in the Capital. He was a na
tural-born comedian. But he was
also an able and astute business man
and when he was elected some years
ago to head the combination of
three title companies, a position of
real distinction in the business life
of the city—he visited some of his
friends in newspaper offices and
asked very earnestly that the ttvo
roles—that of top executive of a
financial institution and that of vol
unteer entertainer at countless!
gatherings—not be confused.
The respect that his friends held,
for him as a man of real dignity;
and ability in business affairs gave
him added prestige as an entertain-!
er. He took the part of a clown. But
it was only to amuse others in doing
what he himself loved to do.
Entertained at Vinson Dinner.
His last appearance as an enter
tainer was on Thursday evening at
an exclusive dinner given in honor
of Chief Justice Vinson by col
leagues of the Washington bench
and bar at the Mayflower Hotel.
And it was characteristic of Mr.
O’Connor’s position in Washington
life that while he was the clown and
entertainer at this dinner for the
Chief Justice, the night before he
had been a fellow guest with the
Chief Justice at a very small and
intimate dinner party. When he
took the part of entertainer he was
the intimate friend of most of those
whom he entertained.
One of his great friends among
the Presidents was William Howard
Taft. A song that Mr. O’Connor
sang In those days was “Taint No
Disgrace to Run When You Are
Skeered” and because he sang it so
often—for it amused Mr. Taft—it
became as much in vogue as his fa
mous later song. “Saloon!”, which
he picked up somewhere shortly
after prohibition. Mr. Taft thought
so much of Mr. O’Connor that he
called on him at Providence Hospital
to sit at his beside when Mr. O’Con
nor was confined there by illness
some years'ago.
Joked With Coolidge.
An anecdote that Mr. O’Connor
used to tell about President Coolidge
related to his presence at an evening
entertainment of the Massachusetts
State Society. Mr. Coolidge, stand
ing with frozen face shaking hands
with the members and guests who
filed past him, looked up with in
terest when he saw Mr. O'Connor
approaching.
‘O’Connor,'’ said Mr. Coolidge,
“How come you from Massachu
setts?”
“I’m not from Massachusetts,” re
plied Mr. O’Connor. “I’m sick. That’s
what makes me look that way.”
Mr. Coolidge, a Vermonter, broke
into one of his rare laughs and the
response seemed to amuse him so
FBI Questions Air Passenger
Accused of Kidnaping Flyer
ly lh* Associated Press
BOGALUSA. La.. Sept. 28.—Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation agents
today questioned a 23-year-old man
charged by police here with the air
plane kidnaping of a Council Bluffs
flying instructor.
The kidnaping charges were filed
against Fred M. Thomas after Har
old L. Pollitt told Bogalusa police
Thomas forced him at gun point to
fly from Memphis to Bogalusa.
Police Desk Sergt. Edward Toups
said Mr. Pollitt, 44, told of being
hired last Wednesday by Thomas to
fly him from Council Bluffs to St.
Louis to meet a business associate.
Reaching Bt. Louis, the officer
quoted Mrs. Pollitt as saying Thomas
told him the partner was in Mem
phis.
After failing to locate the partner
in the Tennessee city the pair took
off again, presumably for St. Louis.
Once in the air, Mr. Pollitt told
the officer, Thomas shoved a pistol
in his ribs and told him to “fly
south.”
They reached Bogalusa Thursday
night and went to a hotel, where
Thomas left the instructor with the
warning: “My gang will be watching
you.”
Mr. Pollitt told police when
Thomas returned to the hotel room
early Friday there was a scuffle dur
ing which Thomas fired a shot and
the hotel clerk called the police.
Police here said Thomas’ parents
lived in a small rural district near
here.
A
much that he stood laughing long
after George had passed on down
the line, and for the rest of the
evening the President kept looking
around for Mr. O'Connor and when
their eyes met he began laughing
again.
Roosevelt Joined in Chorus.
President Roosevelt was one of
those who always joined in the
chorus of ".Saloon'' when, responding
to the inevitable demands from the
dinner company, George would come
back on the stage and begin:
"I’ve been looking through the dictionary
For a word that s always running through
my mind.
Oh, I like the name of mother
But I'm looking for another
And I must confess the word I cannot find.
Can it be that all its memories are for
gotten?
Is it buried with the language of the
Greek?
If it is 'twill always linger in mv memory
As the first word that i heard my daddy
speak!
And then, from the company,
would swell the chorus—
"Saloon! Saloon! Saloon!’’
Praise From President.
At one dinner, after singing with
the others through repetitions of
the chorus, the President reached
for his place card and wrote: “Dear
George—Like old wine, you get bet
ter as the years roll on,” sending
the message to George by a waiter.
Another of his famous songs in
other years was “My Cousin Caruse,”
the lyrical effusion of a cousin of
the great Caruso. Another, almost
as popular as "Saloon”—of which
Mr. O’Connor at times got thor
oughly tired—was “Holligan’s Fancy
Dress Ball.” And because he en
acted so well, with his singing, the
part of an aging and crippled Irish
soldier, his “Little Tommy Mur
phy Was a Soldier Boy,” was In
constant demand.
Mr. O'Connor was past president
and always a very active member of
the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick and
with his old friend, Thomas W. Bra
hany, helped to plan and rehearse
the famous entertainment skits:
which have featured the annual din- j
ners of the society for so many years.
The skits, performed in costume by a
company of excellent singers and
actors, were done with all the per- 1
fection of well-written light opera.;
Wouldn't Give l?p.
But sometimes, when George!
O’Connor would sing his part, there
would come an unseemly interrupt
tion from the audience of diners in
the form of vociferous applause and
shouted demands for “Saloon”—
something wholly out of place.
George, a skilled actor, would do
everything in his power to quiet the
demand. The expression on the face
of the author, Mr. Brahany. as he
watched the perfection of his beauti
fully written dialogue and lyrics
marred by the rude demands for
“Siloon,” was something that gave
the audience almost as much enter
tainment as the skit itself. But
George would never succumb. He
would outlast the audience in his re
fusal to sing "Saloon."
Mr. O Connor loved Washington
and its people. He was highly
“civic minded" in his willingness to
take part in anything that helped
the community. His talents as an
entertainer were recognized in such
tangible fashion in professional
circles that for years he traveled to
New York and made phonograph
records for the Columbia Co.,.which,
at one time, had a wide sale. Yet
practically all of his entertaining
was done as an amateur, as a friend
and as a member of the dinner com
pany.
Aided Milk Fund.
Some organizations would no more
think of giving a dinner without
the presence of George O’Connor
than of eliminating the dessert and
coffee. His most cherished charity,
the Milk Fund, in which Mrs.
O’Connor has been a leading spirit,
has benefltted from his talent for a
great many years.
One of the highlights of Mr.
O’Connors life came in March of
1939 when his friends pushed him
up on the stage with the George*
town Glee Club, which he had
served as a baritone in college
days, to sing a duet with his son,
George, jr.
George, sr., had been rehearsing
with the Friendly Sons of St. Pat
rick for its annual show at the May
flower, and after rehearsal set out
for the University Club, where his
son was singing with the George
town group. His friends followed,
and tipped off the entertainment
chairman that George, sr, was in
the rear of the audience.
Shouted for Duet.
This fact was announced by the
chairman and the audience at>
plauded and shouted for father and
son. The two responded with a1
father-and-son duet, "Come All Ye
Faithful.”
In the language of the Friendly
Sons, "it was a great day tonight
for the Irish and the O'Connors.”
It was on this same theme that
some 300 friends of George O'Connor
for all walks in life gave him a testi
monial banquet at the Mayflower
Hotel in June of 1940. again to sing
the old numbers he had been pre
senting before them for half a
century'.
On this occasion, President Roose
velt sent another of several con
gratulatory messages from the
White House for the man who had
entertained Presidents since the
days of Grover Cleveland.
Defended Washington’s Reputation.
Mr. O'Connor was a staunch de
fender of Washington's reputation
as a musical center of the old-fash
ioned school. In July of 1941 he led j
a distinguished group of friends to
Philadelphia to take part in a "bat
tle of barber shop ballads.”
It was a clear-cut victory for the
home-town boys, Commissione?
John Russell Young announced, and
the Philadelphians reportedly were
practicing for a return bout for
months thereafter.
Friends of Mr. O'Connor esti
mated that during his lifetime here
he attended no less than 8,000 ban
quets, dinners, luncheons and the
like, dedicated to charity, com
munity and church affairs, or mere
ly to good fellowship.
Elected to Lawyers' Club.
Mr. O’Connor began his business
career at the turn of the century as
little more than a messenger boy
with the title firm. The company
was handling a business of more
than $50,000,000 annually when he
was elected president in 1941.
In 1944, the attorney and title
executive was elected president of
the Lawyers’ Club of Washington,
an honorary professional and social
group whose membership is limited
to 100. Early this year he was
named vice president of the Oldest
Inhabitants’ Association, whose
meetings he had helped to enliven
for several generations.
Arrangements for funeral services
