Died. J. Anthony Smythe, 80, a real-life bachelor who was a father image to three decades of radio listeners as Hen ry Barbour, patriarch on One Man's Family, over which he presided for 26 years (until the program went off the air in 1959) with a mellifluous voice and an air of kindly concern about the trials of his growing family, striking a responsive chord with millions of fans who faced the Depression, the War and even the Kinsey Report comforted by hearing Father Barbour's paternal insights; of a heart attack; in Los Angeles...
