Imminent Today
ny United Press Leassd wire

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18.-Faced
with two murder mysteries holding
many paralleling circumstances, po-
lice today sought the slayers Of Al
bert II. Rosenblum, real estate sales
man killed Sunday night, and Harry
/. Katz, musician and diamond
broker, who was shot down q week
ago. -.
Arrest of Rosenblum s assassin
may be expected at any time, de-
tectives said, revealing that they
have received a hot tip which should
lead to the man s capture.
The Katz murder remains the ap.
parently hidden secret which it has
been from the first, with possibili-
ties of capturing the slayer grow
ing more remote each day.

This Boy Baby
Has Tragic
Time
by United Press Aensed Wire


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. l8.
A boy baby changed from q
nameless waif to a child of
wealth and then to q nameless
aif again was returned to Will
lows hospital here today by New
York detectives.
Mrs. Lydia Lock Marks,
the baby's wealthy foster moth
er, who, by claiming the boy
as her own, sought to force her
millionaire husband, Arthur
Hudson Marks to pay 100000
divorce settlement, did not ac-
company the infant.
Instead, detectives placed the
child in its numbered crib and
told of Mrs. Mark g attempted
deception.
Posing as Ida Johnson, Hanni-
bal, Mo, Mrs. Marks on October
8 came to the Willows and OBJ
tained the child through false
credentials, detectives said.
Next, they declared, she OBJ
tanned fraudulent birth GER
tificate in st. Louis and from
there went to New York to
claim the 100000 settlement
Marks had agreed to pay when
she told him before divorce pro-
ceedings that she was to become
q mother.
The alleged deception was dis
covered by detectives who trac-
ed Mrs. Marks movements. At
subsequent proceedings the New
York supreme court ordered the
child returned to the Willows.

For these e. H. Sothern, at

something Of a disappointment.
The great star shone, it is true.
but it was in the reflected light
of his own great artistry: not
with the inward fire Of the we'll
known flaming youth. His was a
polished Romeo, a scholarly
Romeo, a Romeo Of youthful
words but Of mature deeds.
But what mattered that with a
Juliet like that Of Miss Florence
Fair? Here was a Juliet to in

histrionic ability and eyes. Eyes:
oh well! At any rate when Romeo
sighed beneath the balcony, as
Romeos viii, 1T il the east, and
Juliet Is the sun?-Juliet was

The beauteOus Miss Fair had
one fault, which time should cure.
She strained her voice somewhat
at the crucial moments, though
it was wen controlled for one yet
new to Shakespearian roles.
Albert Howson was that COM
paratively rare creature, a human

a fatherly confessor who was
equally able to deal with turbu-
lent youth who went abroad with
a yard of steel dangling against
it's thigh-and suffered the con-

THEY SEIUNSO
MUSICAL CAREERS

Misses Nellie and Sara Kouns,
famous American sopranos. who
will be headliners at the Keith
Theater opening Monday, April
%, are of social interest in Wash.
ington, the former being q grad
uate Of the National Park Semi
nary. They are nieces Of Mrs.
Benjamin B. Cain, Of Wardman
Park Hotel. These talented girls
are the daughters of the late
Charles w. Kouns, former general
manager of the Santa Fe railroad,
and are well known in the con-
cert world, both in America and
Europe.
AS Miss Sara Kouns expresses
it, I'VE just had to sing. It was
like the measles-it would come
out. At three years Of age I
could carry a tune and Nellie
loved to finger the piano. Music
is innate and cannot be manu-
featured. My sister and I cannot
remember when we began to
sing"
Though they have sung fire.
quently in vaudeville, the Misses
Kouns have made concert tours
in Europe and America and are
known to music lovers in almost
every city as the "MirrQr-voiced
Sopranos"
They did not think seriously Of
a career until after they had
spent two years in Munich under
Raoul Walter and were offered a
debut at the Royal Opera This
they did not accept, as their
father opposed the idea Of COM
mercializing their talents. How
ever, after they returned to the
States he consented to an appear
ance in Chicago and a vaudeville
executive, who was present, i'm
mediately made them an offer.
Young and enthusiastic, they
thought it would be a great lark
to have week in vaudeville.
but ended up In a record run.
Nellie preferred the piano to
her voice and made such progress
that she decided In her early
teens to become a concert artist.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-04-17

Their home being in Chicago, she
had excellent training. and within
few years appeared as soloist
with symphony orchestra there.
Sara went abroad and entered
Miss Weaver's fashionable school
In Munich, where she pursued
her vocal studies with Raoul
Walter.
Returning to. the States at the
outbreak of the war, she and her
sister, Nellie, continued their
studies. After America entered
the conflict, they went overseas to
entertain the doughboys. Not
only was their singing enjoyed
by the men in the service, but
1t attracted attention in the con.
cert field. The Misses Kouns
were arrested as spies, but re-
leased through the American au-
thorities.
Their versatile qualities have
led to appearances in Broadway
musical revues and at present
they have offers to be featured in
some of the productions to be
launched shortly.

Mae Marsh to Berlin.

Mae Marsh, film star, has left
Hollywood for New York, where
on April 26 she will sail for Ber-
lin. where she is to be starred by
the Stern Film Company Of Ger
many in a production treating of
circus life. The contract with
Miss Marsh was made by cable
and the company making it was
financed by the late Hugo SHINES.
Miss Marsh was the first Amer
lean actress to go to England for
an English picture, and now she
seems to be leading the way Of
American players to Germany.
Miss Marsh's name is connected
also with rumors that she may be
the American actress considered
for a. part in the picture which
d. W. Griffith will make for a
syndicate of italian bankers. That
will be decided on the other side,
Miss Marsh will be abroad about
four months. She will be accom-.
panied by her mother.

A new Nun was seen In Morris

in New York last night.
She is Haroldine Humphrey, a
young society girl whose stage ex.
perience heretofore has been con.

all Of her lack Of professional ex.
perience, however, Miss Hum
phrey acquitted herself with credit
and played the part as If to the
manner born. Lady Diana Man
ners was seen in the part Of the
Madonna.
Miss Humphrey did make one
previous appearance in the cast
Of "The Miracle" when she went
on about ten days ago, unheralded
and unacclaimed. 1t was during
the strife which Maria Carmi was
having with the management over
the alleged lack of a suitable gown
for her part in the play. Miss
Carni at the time had refused to
work and Miss Humphrey was
rushed into the breach.
