emily hopeless tangle regarding
Kirk s affairs.
Mrs. Richards may possibly be the
Pauline who wrote letter to Kirk,
cndeavoring to break off her rela-
tions with him.
Hite again figures in letter re-
ceived by Kirk from Mrs. Grayce \.
Brooke of Honolulu, in which she
states that Stanley presumably
her husband) saw = Height on
dock the day Kirk left Honolulu and
tore him 10 pieces. The letter al.
so states that sentiment seems to
be swinging toward Kirk since his
departure, and hints that he might
have left the island because of an
affair with some woman.
Attempts to link Kirk up with
the murder of James Wynn, Il taxi
drivsr at San Bernardino last
Christmas, failed although the man
wanted for Wynn S murder was
known as Harry Albert Kirk. The
description of this man sent out by
Sheriff Shay of San Bernardino
county shows him to be a smaller
aud Younger man than the man who
was murdered at Imperial. Friends
of Kirk at Imperial were unani-
nous in stating that the pictures
sent out by Sheriff Shay were not
those of the man they knew.
Kirk was leading an orchestra in
Honolulu at one time, and about II
year ago started up photograph
shop. This latter, Judging from Mrs.
Brooke s letter, was taken oveG-by
her and her husband after Kirk 5

scene of the duel with Kirk at mid
night on Friday night, vet Harris
has interviewed several Imperial
Presidents who have made positive
/ statements that they saw Truden
Sitting on the porch of the Imperial
/ hetcl long after midnight Friday,
and well toward daylight Saturday
morning.
Tlrese differences would lead to
! the belief that the whole story left
! behind by Truden was Il fabrication,
were it not for the fact that other
statements he made have been found
, untrue. The injuries which Truden
| said he received IN the fight with
/ Kirk for possession of a gun, show
! ed up on his body when il was
found at Jacumba.
! The letter also stated that Kirk
! fired three times, and there were
three discharged bullets found in
the gun that lay beside his body.
The map which was found with
Truden s letter was drawn absolute
ly true with reference to the spot
where the body would be found.
Every step taken by the officers
in an effort to nnravel the mystery,
seems to obscure more than ever the
real manner in which Kirk met his
death and the reason for the enmity
between Kirk and Truden.
Those who knew Kirk and Trud-
en- during the time they lived at
the Imperial hotel, join with the
authorities in scouting the idea that
Kirk went willingly with Truden
to fight a duel. They point out
that Kirk was well educated and of
an entirely different type from
Truden; the men were known to be
on bad terms, and apparently both
guns figuring in the tragedy were
in the possession of Truden up to
the time of the duel, assuming that
there was ii duel. Kirk could gain
nothing by going out to an isolated
spot willingly with his enemy and
his acqua intances declare vigorously
that he would not be fool enough
TO do so.
Discard Other Theories
The theory that Kirk may have
been killed in some other place and
his body taken to the place where
it was found. is discarded because
Of the fact that it would have been
impossible for anyone to bring the
body there. also blood marks on the
bushes are in such a position as to
make it clear that the killing took
place there.
Further search Of Kinks effects
show that he had corresponded
with seveEal women. in several eases
writing them etterS and neglecting
to mail them. There were also sev-
crsl pieces of poetry which he had
written and descriptive
articles ON Hawaii. These We're we'll
written and showed thut Kirk was
of literary turn. He was also in
tcrested in photography, having text
hooks on the subject and many ex.
ecllcnt photographs Of Hawaiian
scenes.
Another touch of mystery is given
to the case by the fact that one of
the descriptive articles is signed
William J. Adams, and an in
come tax blank made out in Hawaii,
is filled out for the same party.

ANOTHER INVADER
WHO'S WELCOME

AS seems to be the case with
every other good Hungarian
dramatist, Lakatos is a Budapest
University man and started his
wage earning career as q journal
list. Before he turned his hand
to the theater some ten years
ago, he was one Of the first
journalists Of Budapest, especial
" famous for feature stories.
witty editorials and satirical
sketches which he wrote for the
Post Napolo and NaEyarszeg, the
two papers on which he worked
the longest.
His first connection with the
stage came about IN what seems
to be the usual Budapest man
ner. that is, by contributing
short sketches to the Hungarian
equivalent of our American
vaudeville. houses. Since tnat
time has has written five ruiz
length plays which have achieved
what is an unusual success,
even in this day of wide export
of Hungarian drama.
At present Lakatos is~ repre-
scented in Budapest by his latest
success, ''Foj Vagy Iras," mean.
ing Heads or Tails" This Is prob
ably destined for American pro-
duction, as is certainly another
OF his hits, called in translation
-Four Gentlemen In Dress
Suits" which the Frohlman Com.
pany has purchased.
The longest Budapest run Of
any Of his plays was achieved
by his "Zafirgyura, otherwise
"The Sapphire Ring. - This play
was produced first two seasons
ago and ran then six solid months
in Budapest, a city Of much
fewer inhabitants than, say, New
York. IT was put on again at
the opening OF the following sea
son and ran for another six
months. The second season it
was also produced in Stockholm
and Warsaw with success. II
was produced early last Decenn-
Der in Vienna at the eModornes
Theater and il still running
there. 1t viii shortly be produced
in Paris and Berlin and has al
ready been booked to play in
sixty smaller German cities. And,
of course. it Is being produced
here Monday night at the Shu-
bert. Belasco Theater.

Stage folk have long been noted
for their superstitions. There is
"a manager in New York who al
ways IL 1t Is q possible thing, pro-
duces new play on Friday, and
IL the Friday Is also the 18th OF
the month, he Is all the happier.
Every one knows that William
Collier would never dream OF put
ting on his right shoe first: that
he believes that a cast with dog
in it argues great success for
that play. UnNer no circunl-
stances would he permit the last
line Or tag OF play to be read
by an actor or actress at re-
hearsal.
Miss Margaret Dale, who Is a
member of THE Best People.
and who comes to the National
Theater for one week. beginning
Monday, has superstitions of her
own of different kind. OF course,
she has q few of the ordinary
ones. but she has her pet ones
which are unique and little known.
Thirteen of them she has treas
ured for seasons. She picked
them up while touring in France.

advertising, would be much longer

Miss Dale discovered equally

a maid, who assured Miss Dale
that to dream of eggs or see

The presentation at the Shu-
bert-Belasco Monday evening by.
George Choos of 1.-THE Sapphire
Ring" by Laszlo Lakatos, de-.
rives perhaps its greatest inter
est from the fact that 1t serves
to introduce to America q work
OF the only Hungarian play
wright OF the first rank who
mas not as yet been represented
on our stage.
In view Of the standing Of
Lakatos in Budapest. it is Diff
ficult to understand why his
work is reaching these shores
so much later than that of some
OF his contemporaries.
III LakatOs had never written
q single play, he would still be
one or the most prominent fig
ures in the Hungarian theater,
since he Is the directing head of
three of the most important thea.
ters in Budapest. These, MAGYAR
Szinhas, Belvarosi Szinhas, and
Andrassy Szinfas. are owned by
company known as the Unlo
Corporation, OF which company

'"'dramaturg.
There is hardly an exact equiv
alent in the American theater for
this office of drarnaturg. Here
We are loath to put so much re-
sponsibility in the hands of one
man as the dramaturg OF the
continental theAter possesses.
He Is absolute artistic director of
his domain. He not only says
the final word in the choice Of
plays to be produced but he has
czaEistic control of the details Of
their production. generally as
Stunning their direction himself.
1t viii be readily agreed that
a man who fills such a post for
three theaters in a city which
has something less than New
York's fifty houses is distinctly
a leading figure in the theatrical
world Of that city. But in addi-
ton to having SO much power
over the dramatic works of other
authors, Lakatos himself has
written some of the most sue
cessfuT Hungarian plays Of re.
cent years. Which two factors
should be sufficient indication Of
his position in the Hungarian
theater.
