<p> DIED. Beatrice Lillie, 94, theater and film comedian touted
as the "funniest woman in the world"; at her home in Henley-on-
Thames, England. Brandishing her long cigarette holder, Lillie
delivered masterly double entendres and verbal sallies. She won
a Tony Award in 1953 for her one-woman show An Evening with
Beatrice Lillie and acclaim for her roles in such films as Exit
Smiling (1927) and Around the World in 80 Days (1956).
