party given by Miss Davies. but neither
said who had fired the shot-whether
Mr.. Hirsh or third party.
In her first public statement since the
party broke up in a wild scramble as the
shot was heard on the quiet street, Mrs.
sirsh said that. far from firing the shot,
she was doing everything possible to
prevent It,"
Says Wife innocent.
Hirsh. who is well known in the towns
theatrical colony, defended his wife

Assistant District Attorney Elvin N.
Edwards. who has charge Of the inves-
tigation, stated. that SO far, his INQUIRIES
had shown no trace OF anything but a
quiet Saturday night party on the Davies
lawn before the shooting. He said, how
ever, that there We're several details
which must be cleared up before the real
story Of the shooting could be determ-
ined.
TAuo Revolvers.
One, said, concerning the finding Of
two revoIvers. Hirsh, the prosecutor
said. admitted owning both. One is a So
calibre and the other 25 calibre. One
shot had been fired from each gun.
Hirsh was hit. in the mouth ana throat
from the smaller weapon, Mr.. Edwards
asserted. Both guns were found on the
lawn which became the center Of an ex-
cited gathering as Hirsh fell.
Black eye.
The other bothersone point, Mr.. Ed
wards said, concerned Mrs Hirsh. she
appeared at a hearing before a police
judge with one eye injured While it
did not appear to a regular "black eve

a hundred burlesque forms of it followed
and these are still being written. But bur-
lesque in it's larger sense Ia something
quite different from this, which is more
nearly called parody. although both are of
the same nature. Burlesque starts out
with certain assumption, the verisimili-
tude of this depending upon the art of the
creator; and then the illusion must be
kept up to the end. Within the last year
we have had two vivid examples of both
kinds of writing, one, "A Parody Outline
of American History" by Donald Ogden
Stewart, and the other THE Cruise of the
Kawa," by George Chappell, both of them
being admirably done. The first one is
what its title claims for it, namely, Ameri-
can history as it might be written by GER

Stewart has been able to convey a num-
Der of truths that ought certainly to be
conveyed as often as possible. In the Sec

nerves, is held up to a deserved ridicule.

standards of to-day. In the case of Don
Marquis. another distinguished columnist
and in many respects our best humorist,
we have diversity of talent. Rabelaisian
(but not in the improper sense) faculty,
apparently reckless of consequence, but, to
those who understand the craft, in reality
restrained. And because of his wide range
Mr.. Marquis (who, by the way, is very
uneven in his output) is not only able to
use his own personality but has succeeded
in creating number of highly amusing
characters, such as Archy, Hermione, &c.,
and to invest them with an atmosphere of
reality. His humorous verse is also of a
very high quality. and through this me-
.dium alone he has produced effects that
are quite remarkable. especially during a
period where. in spite of what seems to be
the contrary, certain timidity is too COM
mon.
There is another and much younger
writer among us who without Don Mar
quis's insight or creative character build
ing yet displays a pure strain of humor
that in itself is rare and quite difficult to
define. 1t is very much like comedy, and
yet perhaps not quite that. I refer to
