Then, not having paid the stepfather
what he had agreed. the Korean was
kicked out and Maria turned over to
a young Japanese. She had been with
the Japanese few days when the au-
thorities learned of the transaction and
stepped in, landing the stepfather and
the two orientals in jail. The girl says
she was simply doing what she was
told to do by her stepfather, while
Kolishendorff explains that he regarded
the two orientals as prospective hus-
bands for the girl and was simply al
lowing a series of trials in order that
the girl might get the husband she
liked best.
Before the United States commission
er yesterday, Kolishendorff rolled up
his sleeves, exhibiting a number of
scars, saying that he had obtained
these honorably in the recent Russo
Japan csc war and had been also dec
Grated for bravery. This was to prove
that he was law abiding man and not
one to transgress authority. He asked
the commissioner to kindly hurry up
the trial as he had a garden to look
after on Maui.
He will have to stay until October,

the sum of $4,000. 1t might as we'll be

There appears to be lack of a

HACKETT REVIVES
HIS BIGGEST HITS
Monsieur Beaucaire" and "The
Prisoner of Zenda" to Be
Offered at Alcazar

In response to urgent popular de-
mand the Alcazar management has de-
cided to revive during the coming week
Monsieur Beaucaire"' and The Pris-
oner of Zenda,n the plays in which
James x. Hackett has scored his most
pronounced successes in the Suffer
street home of good drama.
When last presented they drew
crowded audiences to each perform
ance, despite the fact that thousands
of theaterE goers were absent from the
city, and it is to accommodate not only
the folk who have returned, but many
of those who have witnessed the plays
and desire to undergo repetition of
the enjoyment then experienced, that
the revivals are announced. The adj
vance sale of seats for both attractions
presages another series of capacity
taxing assemblageS.
Monsieur Beaucaire" will hold the
boards Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday evenings, with special
matinee Thursday, and THE Prisoner
of Zenda" will round out the week.
with the usual Saturday and Sunday
the last presentations Of these plays by
Hackett in San Francisco and 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful if any manager would
venture to present them here after his
departure. Indeed. he is the only Iiv-
ing histrion who has the physical, tenn
peramental and artistic qualifications
essential to their adequate interpreta-
tion.
Booth Harrington adapted from the
French the story of which Monsieur
BeaucaireAis a characterization, and
since Richard Mansfleld's death James
K. Hackett is the only actor who has
played the title part. His conception
and impersonation of the character
are distinctly original and. most of the
critics have opined, superior to any of
those that preceded. He reads his lines
with an accent that immeasurably en-
hances the effectiveness of their epi-s
grammatic pungency.
So indissolubly welded in the Ameri-
can play going mind have been the
name of James K. Hackett and the title
of The Prisoner of Zenda" during the
last 1o years that it would almost SAVIOR
of inpertinence to say that he is SUI
preme in the role of Rudolph RassendyI.
So many people were unable to obtain
even standing room when 'Zenda' was
recently the Alcazars offering that if
they alone were to attend the coming
performances the theater would be
crowded -
There will be no change in the cast
of either play, and the scenery and
costumery will be the same that de-
lighted admirers of artistic and eIab-
crate tagging a few weeks ago.
