Walker, former mayor of New York and president of Majestic Records, were to be held at St. Patrick's Cathedral Thursday with a solemn high requiem mass. Mr. Walker died at Doctors Hospital in New York Monday. He was 65 and had been suffering from cerebral thrombosis — a blood clot on the brain. The former mayor presided over the city's affairs during the height of the prohibition period. He was a great friend of the motion picture industry. Many of his friends, including Harry Brandt, head of the Independent Theatre Owners Association, and George Jessel, visited at Mr. Walker's bedside just before his death. Mr. Walker became associated with the film industry when it was still very young. He is generally given credit for the formation of the Motion Picture Theatre Owners of America. Later he served as counsel for the Theatre Owners Chamber of Commerce under William Brandt and Charles O'Reilly. He resigned as mayor of New York in 1932. In 1940 he became interested in film production in the east and in 1943 he was Counsel for the ITOA in the organization's campaign to lower film rentals. He also was impartial chairman of the cloak and suit industry for five years. His last appearance was at the American Veterans Committee dinner honoring Al Jolson. Donald Meek, 66, Played 100 Character Roles Donald Meek, 66, the well known screen character actor who played the type of thin-blooded roles described by his name, died Monday in Hollywood of .leukemia after a short illness. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Mr. Meek went on the stage at the age of eight. As a child star, acrobat, supporting player and star, he played more than 800 stage roles both on Broadway and abroad. He made his screen debut in 1929 and played more than 100 screen roles, most of them as the timid comic interest, but sometimes ' as the unsuspected villain of the piece. His stage shows included "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em," "Six Cylinder Love" and "Little Old New York." Sam Schwartz Services for Sam Schwartz, veteran showman, who retired in 1933 after operating a circuit in the east, were held in Hollywood Wednesday. Mr. Schwartz, who was 76, died of a heart ailment. He is survived by his sons, Marty, manager of Graumann's Egyptian, and Charles, head of the Pacific Coast Film Company. Heinrich Georg Heinrich Georg, well known German stage and screen actor, died recently in a Russian internment camp near Moscow, the United Press has reported. 78 MOTION PICTURE HERALD, NOVEMBER 23, 1946
