UPTON SINCLAIR'S PLAY
PRONOUNCED A SUCCESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11-"Prince
Hagen a fantastic drama by Upton
Sinclair, author of 'The Jungle" was
given it's first public presentation in
the Valencia theater tonight, and was
pronounced a success by the critics
who attended.
In the development of a love story
about which the plot revolves, Mr.. Sin
clair first transports his hero to the
caves of the underworld, where he en-
lists inshis quest Prince Hagen, no
BILE from among the Niebelungen, who,
arriving upon earth, gains control of
the worlds gold supply and incidental
ly becomes a rival for the hand of the
heroine.
Ensuing scenes are laid in the more
prosaic precincts of a Bowery saloon,
a Fifth avenue mansion and a New
port home. The prince is finally de-
feated in his object by a sleeping pow
der which carries him back to his king
dom, and the hero, who from a poor
poet has become wealthy and powerful,
marries the girl of his choice.
Robert Warwick in the title role and
Blanche Stoddard as the heroine, were
repeatedly applauded for successful
portrayal of the authors leading char
acterS.

In the queerest sort of look, something
like the look Of a snakes eye.
Then 1 felt his influence Tightening
his grip on my mind, so 1 went, intend
ing to go into the store and out the
back way to get the horse and rush
off for home
''When I turned to close the door he
stood looking upon me through the
window, and 1 just bought the Ratchet

he had disappeared, so I went to the

Arranges for Wedding
when he arranged with me about
the wedding he said he would go to
Port Huron and meet me on the road
between that place and the church.
II thought he really meant to get
married when he engaged my services,
but when we were met on the road
and he was alone 1 began to feel UNI
easy, but he said it was all right, and
the others would come in a carriage.
I'VE kept looking to see the others
come down the state road. Presently
he took big, hearty laugh and said:
There amt no use Of looking, for
there amt going to be no wedding
He was sitting where the CLEANS Of
the light Shone on his face, and his
eyes were so brilliant that I was
thrilled through and through with the
queerest sort of feeling.
"He said: Now if 1 raise up your
hands, up she goes and felt my
hand raise without effort whatever on
my part. BY this time I was so
alarmed that I was in a cold sweat.
II then leaned over to see if any one
might be on the road. when he began
to laugh again, and l saw that he was
holding a weapon of some sort up his
sleeve.
Instantly 1 made a grab for it and
got the hatchet from him and asked
what he meant to do with that, and he
said, 'Tll show you,' and from his over
coat pocket drew out a knife in each
hand.
HE came at me, striking with both
hands, while 1 backed across the
church down the side aisle and across
the front.
"There was a desperate struggle, in
which I used the Ratchet until he laid,
quiet. 1 cannot tell. all that happened
after that.
''When my eyes fell upon one of
those knives flew into a rage and be-
gan to cut him, when he woke up and
grabbed me again.
E"Then for a while I used that Ratchet
until I was sure he was dead. Then L
saw that the fire was hot enough TO
make the stovepipe red nearly to the
elbow, so / grabbed him by the feet
and dragged him down there and cut
him to pieces, putting in each part as
1T was dismembered.
