Dr. Ralph G. Cook, county coroer, testified the husband and wife admitted they “had to kill” the aged • oman to rid their daughter of a cries of chronic ailments. Attorney Stephen H. Wattles, ( fending Mrs. Burgess, will base his lea almost entirely upon alleged nsanity. In his examination of respective jurbrs, he reiterated over nd over again, a direct suggestion hat evidence tending to show an .nbalanced mentality will be introduced. The defense will attempt to prove Mrs. Burgess had no actual hand in the brutal slaying of the 76-year-old widow and that her husband was responsible solely. While its argument against the insanity plea has not been definitely announced, the prosecution is expected to base its case against the accused woman on an unsigned confession made by Mrs. Burgess at midnight July 18. six hours after Mrs. Fairchild was beaten to death ns she sat at the supper table in the Burgess home.

DEAD-ALIVE PEOPLE ARE REAL VAMPIRES ‘Dracula’ on the Stage Becomes a Grand Nightmare That Is Destined to Give One the Cold Creeps. BY W ALTER D. HICKMAN THE vampires in “Dracula” certainly make a hunk of flesh and a batch of bones out of their victims and the victims earn' on the dirtywork for the maste. even when dead. In “Dracula ’ the vampire i£ a dead person who is not all together dead but who is able at night to take on human form and parade terror uo and down the land between sunset and sunrise. In the morning the vampire returns to his coffin in the ground and

sleeps until night again. This vampire preys upon blood of humans. Not a pleasant thought when one thinks of such things. Dracula, the master vampire in this play, is chiefly concerned with Lucy Seward, the daughter of Dr. Sew ard of near London. He has ,the nice habit of planting a two-pointed kiss upon the neck human blood from ane patient in Dr. Vi Reward's sanatoj|pj ium. Not a pleasLucy is a victim of Dracula, one of his servants. Renfield’s specialty is eating flies and spiders. Nice, appetizing menu. But the Vampire Dracula plans a real blood diet for him as a reward for his help in making Lucy still more of a willing helper in his program of death and horror. Pitted against the terrible cruel power of Dracula is Arbaham Van Helsing, a great professor of science; Dr. Seward, the father of Lucy, and Jonathan Harker, Lucy’s sweetheart. And if you have read the book, you know whether the professor wins or Dracula. Without going more into the plot, I will state that the stage version has been masterfully arranged for thrills from the book of Bram Stoker. All of the more terrible things that the vampire does in the story has been crowded in the action of the several hours required to do it on the stage. Now as to the cast. “Dracula” has as effective a cast as I ever have seen in a mystery thriller. Many of those present in the cast now-' giving "Dracula” at English’s, have played their parts as high as from SCO to thousand times. Raymond Huntley is Count Dracula and he plants his blood-ab-sorbing kiss with such artistry that many in the audience last night screamed right out in meetin’. His work is polished, sure and powerful. He would strike terror to anybody. Splendid work and a marvelous makeup. Huntley was at his best in the second act when he was matching power and brain with the professor. Os equal merit Is the work of Lester Alden as the professor. He has developed certain mannerisms that

gives the professor the power to inspire confidence among those in the audience. Splendid work. Magnificently cruel is the work of Bernard Jukes as R. M. Renfield, the lunatic. I know I would not want to play this madman role night after night. But it is marvelously effective work. Joan Colburn is Lucy. Here is a difficult role to impart realism, but she does it with magnificent ease and sureness. Fine work. The balance of the cast is all right. The stage settings and the many thrilling effects have been splendidly produced. “Dracula” is as safe a mystery thriller buy that the stage has ever known. At English's today and Wednesday. n * * MEIGHAN’S FIRST TALKER JUST RIGHT Just when I thought that Thomas Meighan was all washed up and done with his popularity as a movie star, up bobs these talking pictures and makes Tom all over again. These talkers have done winders with at least two or three darlings of the .screen who became sloppy and rather insincere in characterization. Meighan was no exception to that rule but now he emerges as a really legitimate talking star in “The Argylc ■SgggjJjgjp who solves a murdone is hatching up makes action Meighan is the tie- A that matches the action of the char- Meighan acter. He is sincere in his characterization and you get the feeling that everything is going to be all right when he walks in upon the crime. Os course this detective alw’ays works better when a pretty heroine is about and so the authors have supplied such a heroine. So the happy ending is expected. The comedy relief has been well handled and looks natural. Mean-

The committee in charge is Miss Katherine Lyzott, Miss Hazel Horton, Miss Louise Brunner, Miss Florence Foster, Miss May Shields, Miss Lola Lyzott, Miss j Roberta Lamb and Miss Jean Graves. ing that the detective’s two assistants supply the comedy in a natural way. Good work. “The Argyle Case” will go down in movie history as just as good entertainment as Meighan put out when he was at the height of his popularity in the old days. It comes under the head of nearly splendid mystery entertainment. On the stage at the Lyric this week we ]*ave the Lee Gail Ensemble, a rather ambitious dancing act. Although the Apache dance is old and really out of date, two of the dancers tackle it again. They put in some new falls and slides for the dame and it registers this time. This company of six put up an interesting program of dance. The Loos Brothers go in again for their accepted method of singing songs. Nice harmony, close at time, but always harmony. Glenn and Jenkins, two colored comedians, do stuff that you would expect the Two Black Crows to do, and do they get the laughs? They do. Merrill Brothers and sister, who go in for numerous things along athletic lines, such as the perch, the swinging wire and the like. Good act. It all shapes up as a mighty entertaining bill. Now at the Lyric. Other theaters today offer: “Say It With Songs” at the Apollo. Moran and Mack in “Why Bring That Up?” at the Circle, “The Unholy Night” at the Palace, “Hello, Paree” at the Mutual, “Illusion” at the Indiana. “Street Girl” at the Ohio, and movies at the Colonial. ,

POLICE BAFFLED IN SEARCH FOR WOMAN FLIERS Telegram From One of Pair Proves False Report When Traced. Biil'nited I’rr/tx YUMA, Ariz., Oct, 15,—Two young aviatrices, who had ambitions to set anew women's endurance flight record, have vanished in the far southwest, apparently much to the mystery of their parents and certainly to the discomfort of the police. The girls, Peggy Paxton, 18, and Lucille Wallingford. 25. left their homes in Los Angelas Fridcv. day, V. L. Paxton, father of Peggy, received a telegram saying the were safe in Yrma. Today police and newspaper men had searched the town from hotels to quarantine stations and found no trace of them. The girls were seen last at Patton airport in Whittier, Cal., where they had gone to grange details of their proposed flignt. Both of them are fliers of more than local note in Los Angeles. When police were unable to find them here, they speculated on the possibilities of romance and adventure having lured the girls from Los Angeles but found no evidence to substantiate their speculations. Yuma is no large city and if the girls actually are here, as reported, they must be hiding under the proverbial bushel, police said. No planes landed here Monday, eliminating the possibility they came as passengers by air.
