"MARRYING MARY" TO
BE SEEN IN LONDON
Daniel v. Arthur Makes Arrangements
to Present His Star, Marie, Ca
hill, in the British
Metropolis

Marie Cahill is about to invade Eng
land 1t is expected that final arrange
ments for the trip will be made in Los
Angeles this week, as the coincidence S
manager, Daniel v. Arthur, is making a
special trip from New York to consult
her regarding the venture. He will arrive
this morning.
Present plans provide for Miss Cahill's
opening in London about the middle OF
March with the original cast and pro-
duction of her musical play Marrying
Mary" After her engagement at the
Mason this week Miss Cahill will jump to
Salt Lake and work rapidly toward New
York, taking in Denver, Omaha and the
larger cities along the route. The COM
pany, according to present arrangements
will sail from New York about March 8
1t is the intention to present Marrying
Mary for an indefinite run in London,
and then send 1t through the provinces.
Returning to Londons Miss Cahill will
revive Nancy Brown" her first starring
vehicle and later MOLLY Moonshine,' her
musical success of two years ago. Sue
cess is these three plays, If it comes, will
keep her across the water for two years
at least.
Miss Cahill has contemplated an inva-
sion of England for some time. Her de-
sire to appear abroad was intensified by
the offer of a theate- in London last
spring, made by an English manager who
had witnessed her performance of MAR
rying Mary at Days theater in New
York. Her manager, though, held aloof
until he could obtain a theater properly
located and with an established clientele.
The first step In Miss Cahill's plans to
appear in London was the cancellation of
her tour of the south, which was to have
followed her engagement here.

Mrs. Sarah j. Hill. widow who lived
at 80 Hemlock street. died at the coun-
ty hospital yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock. She was taken to the hospital
from her residence at II O'clock in the
morning, apparently suffering from poi
soning.
She died in convulsions and DR.. d. C.
Barber. superintendent of the hospital,
reported the case to the police depart-
ment and asked that the cause Of her
death be investigated.
A report was current that the woman
had been given poison to cause her death
In order that some one might be benefited
by small amount Of life insurance which
she carried In an Industrial concern.
No confirmation of this could be OBJ
tained last night, and while Detectives
Hugh Dixon and Charles Craig. who were
assigned to the case by Detective Ser
geant Kelley, reported that the death of
the woman looked suspicious, they had
not been able to secure any evidence
which pointed to foul play.
| The case was referred to Coroner Lam
terman. He will have an autopsy per-
formed today and an analysis of the con-
| tents of the womans stomach made to
determine the exact cause of her death.
DIR. R. s. Peter of Ninth street and
| Central avenue was called to attend the
| moval to the county hospital DR.. Peter
stated that the woman was suffering
from convulsions. which might have been
caused by alkaloid poisoning. but as he
was unable to correctly diagnose the case
he refused to commit himself to state
ment as to the cause of death.
At the county hospital 1t Is believed
| that the woman was suffering from
| puerperal escambia, but the real cause
of her death will not be known until after
the coroners autopsy and the analysis of
| the contents of her stomach.
| Mrs. Hill was widow, aged 35 years.
| She had lived in Los Angeles for num-
| ber of years. and while possessed of a
small property of problematical value
had no money except what she earned.
and no assets Of known value except the
| insurance.
| 1t was not learned by the police who
would benefit by her death If it was
brought about by murder, but the investi-
cation will be carried on by the officials
under the direction of the coroner until
| the exact truth is known.
! The body was removed from the county
| hospital last night to the undertaking
parlors of Porter & Roberts and will be
held for burial subject to the order Of
