YOUNG CURZON'S
DOWNFALL DUE
TO HIGHBALLS
NEPHEW OF LATE LORD EARNS
PRISON SENTENCE
PENALTY LATER REDUCED TO
COUNTY JAIL PERIOD
Receipt of Inheritance Marks Start
of Gay Life and $15,000 Is
Squandered In Short
Time
Arthur Curzon, nephew of the late
Lord Wiley Curzon of England, who
waa murdered by an Indian student In
London several months ago, was sen- i
tenced to two years in Folsom peni
tentiary by Judge Willis of the crimi
nal court yesterday. A few hours later
the penalty was changed to imprison- j
merit in tho county jail for six months. |
curzon, after his departure from
England, traveled through Canada to
British Columbia, where ho lived sev
eral months before coming to Califor
nia While In San Francisco he re
,-ived an inheritance of $15,000 from
!,is uncle's estate, and immediately
nnbarked on a gay life, running
through the money in a few weeks.
Those in charge of the English estate,
learning- of Curzon's extravagance
and manner of living, refused to send
further large sums of money, and since
his San Francisco experience he has
been receiving an allowance of $20 to
$22 a month. This money, for the most
part, it is said, has been spent for in
toxicants.
Fond of Highballs
The drinks most highly appreciated
by Curzon were alcohol highballs, to
the use of which he Is said to have be
come strongly attached after his arrival
in LOS Angeles. It was while under
the influence of several imbibations of
I his liquid— a mixture of alcohol and
water-that he took a watch from a
friend named Joe Davidson November
fi Curzon was arrested on a charge of
srand larceny, but was released on pro
bation by Judge Willis about three
weeks ago, after pleading guilty to a
charge of petty larceny, a misdemeanor.
"The watch was a cheap one,' said
Deputy District Attorney North yester
day "and I did not oppose the plea of
guilty to the lesser charge, because I
feared the English law might cut Cur
?.on off from his inheritance if he was
convicted of or pleaded guilty to a
felony."
Promised to Go to Work
Curzon, when released, promised
.Tudgo Willis he would go to work on
:< ranch. He did so, remaining a week,
when he returned to lios Angeles and
again became merry over the simple
brew which had before caused his
t rouble.
He was arrested December 22, ac
cused of violating his probation by the
purloining of an overcoat belonging to
n Japanese, and because he drank too
much alcohol and water. When he ap
peared before Judge Willis yesterday
he was sentenced to two years In Fol
som penitentiary. Later It was discov
ered that the charge to which Curzon
had pleaded guilty was a misdemeanor
and In the afternoon Judge Willis
changed the sentence to a term of six
months in the county Jail.
SAYS VAUDEVILLE SKETCH
DROVE WOMAN TO CRIME
A well played sketch on the vaude
ville stage in which a woman purloined
everything in sight and escaped detec
tion was the Influence that caused Rosa
Buser, alias Mary Moll, the "woman
Raffles," to abandon a life of rectitude
and embark on a short-lived career of
crime, according to the story told by
her to her attorney, George F. McCul
lough, and which, it Is believed, she
will repeat when her case is heard
linally In Judge Davis' criminal court.
The woman was arraigned in Judge
Davis' court yesterday on a charge of
burglary, for the alleged theft of a
number of articles of jewelry from
the home of Frederick Nelson Novem
ber 26. Whether she will admit or deny
her guilt will be known January 12.
when she again appears to plead to
the charge.
"I believe the woman is a victim of
the power of suggestion," said her at
torney yesterday. "Incidentally 1 bo
lleve she is mentally unbalanced. She
tells me the first time the desire to
commit burglary entered her mind was
when she attended a matinee at a local
vaudeville house and saw an actress
mystify any number of detectives by
the manner in which she hid all traces
of her thefts. Miss Buser thought she
. nuld do as well, and tried it,"

PLANS TO CONTROL
IMMENSE DEPOSITS
J. PIERPONV MORGAN
MORGAN PLANS
VAST MERGERS
FIRM SOON MAY CONTROL
IMMENSE WEALTH
PLANS FUTURE CONSOLIDATIONS
ON HUGE SCALE
Reports in Wall Street Indicate That
Great Financier Will Manipulate
$210,000,000 in Deposits,
if Scheme Carries
- [Associated Press]
NEW YORK, Jan. 4.— Plerpont
Morgan and associates may control,
through further trust company merg
ers in New York, the enormous sum
of $210,000,000 in deposits alone. This
is approximately $25,000,000 more than
the deposits of the National City bank
of this city, the largest financial in
stitution in the- United States.
, Reports of additional trust company
consolidations are given credence in
view of yesterday's announcement of
the merger by J. P. Morgan & Co. of
the Guaranty Trust, Norton Trust and
Fifth Avenue Trust companies, with
combined deposits of about $150,000,000.
This brought a revival in the finan
cial rumors embracing the Bankers'
Trust and the Manhattan Trust com-
panics in the same combination. There
were definite reports that the Mer
cantile Trust company and the Equit
able Trust company eventually would
he taken into some sort of a powerful
alliance.
In point of fact the Bankers Trust
company Is closely affiliated with the
so-called Morgan interests, in that two
partners in the Morgan banking house
—George W. Perkins and Henry P.
Davison—sit In the directorate of the
former.
Directors of Company
Other directors of the Bankers' Trust
company, including A. B. Hepburn
and A. H. Wiggin, president and vice
president, respectively, of the Chase
National bank, and William H. Porter,
president of the Chemical National
bank, are active in affairs of the Guar
anty Trust company, which is to be
made the titular head of the Guaran
ty-Morton-Fifth Avenue consolidation.
Relations between the Morgan in
terests und the Manhattan Trust com
pany always have been intimate,
though the latter is not regarded as a
Morgan appendage. It is perhaps sig
nificant that the building now occupied
by the Manhattan Trust company Is
to be razed soon to make way for a
thirty-story building to be erected by
the. Bankers' Trust company.
Deposits of the Bankers' Trust com
pany aggregate $46,500,000 and those
of the Manhattan Trust company $13,
--400,000. so that the two companies, if
combined with those now in process
of absorption by J. P. Morgan and as
sociates, would total in deposits more
than $200,000,000.
National banking interests do not
look with uniform favor on the in
crease in trust company power.
It was pointed out today that inas
much at the law makes it possible for
the trust companies to hold stocks and
to enjoy other advantages forbidden
to national banks, it would be possible
for the larger companies to take up
many underwriting propositions which
lar^e hanks cf Wall street found it
inexpedient to handle.
COLLEGE TEACHERS HAVE
TO HUSTLE "SIDE WORK"
Eighty Per Cent of University Assist.
ants Hold Other Jobs to
Earn Living
MADISON, Wil., Jan. 4.—Eighty per
cent of the assistant professors in
American universities must supple
ment their salaries by outside work
in order to "make both ends meet."
They receive, on an average, just
enough to suffice for an unmarried
man, yet 74 per cent of them are mar
ried and have families to support.
These and other statistics were con
tained in a paper by Prof. Guideo
Marx of the engineering college of
Stanford university which was read
before the Association of American
Universities convention at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin today.
In the absence of Professor Marx,
the paper was read by Prof. H. C.
Huberich of Stanford law school.
"The rapid increase in the cost of
living has made the situation of the
assistant professor acute," concluded
the paper.

Exalting/ melodrama to the lofty
-plane of true tragedy, the Edwin A.
Relkin players last night'staged the
second play of their repertoire at the
Mason—a poignant story of a father
who returns from prison exile tp*flnd
too late the wife and child of whom
circumstances had bereft him. A sec
ond love affair with a physician who
has befriended her makes reconcilia
tion with the husband difficult, and the
fact that his offense has been the kill
ins of the wife's father in self-defense
adds an insuperable bar to the situa-
I tion. In the last act the baffled man
ends his life, after revealing to his
daughter her parentage.
it is a powerful drama, for whose
literary lineage we must look farther
back even than the old Greek tragedies,
which it resembles in some measure.
It is the spirit of an ancient race which
cries for deliverance in the cumulative
rout and ruin of Herman, and the
drama is in many respects allegorical
of the struggle of that race for the hap
piness which too often In their heroic
history has seemed denied them.
Following the action by the clew of
its own eloquence and a limited knowl
edge of German, the present reviewer
was struck by the close adherence of
David L,evensohn, in the leading role,
to the tradition of the elder American
school of Booth and his contempora
ries. Here was a frank revival of that
virile and ingenuous dramatic method
which once made the American drama
a power to be reckoned with In the
world's art. Particularly vivid was the
portrayal of the scene in which the
returned father first suspects the iden
tity of his daughter. In a manner rad
ically different from the method of
Warfield, Mr. Levensohn visualized
the same basic human emotion. The
words he spoke might be foreign to an
untutored ear, but the language was
that of the heart, which is universal.
Miss Rosa Karp assumed the role of
the daughter with marked emotional
power.
The work of several supporting
players in comedy roles lent much
charm to an impersonation frequently
enlivened by musical and dancing:
specialties. With the spontaneity
which was a marked feature of both
players and audience, the scenes shifted
from grave to Ray, from the simply
tragic to the ludicrously simple. The
audience responded swiftly at each
transformation, apparently feeling no
difficulty in the transitions. An In
teresting feature was the keen feeling
of the gallery for the artistic propri
eties. Once when irrepressible ap
plause interrupted a scene of emo
tional power the warning hiss arose.
It was the natural demand that the
play be allowed to take its course,
regardless of personal enthusiasm for
individuals, 'nd it was promptly
heeded.
The Hebrews of Los Angeles have
greeted the Relkin players with such
gratifying enthusiasm that a prolon
gation of their stay through Thurs
day and Friday is a probability. To
night the play will be "The Green
Woman.''
■ • •
Soon after the production of "The
Idol' 9 Eye," which will follow "San
Toy" at the Orand opera house, Ferris
Hartman and his company will revive
"Woodland." This piece was one of
the biggest productions ever made by
Henry W. Savage. For the local pro
duction the original costumes will be
shipped to Los Angeles from the Sav
age studios, while the production itself
will be built direct from the Savage
models. This will be the first of a
ser j es o f late musical successes to
which Mr. Hartman has just obtained
the rights. "The White Chrysantho
mum" will be among these.
A confirmed cynic would grow dim
ples it" benevolently compelled to see
the new bill at the Los Angeles this
week. Any mere critic can Hnd but two
serious faults with it; there is scant
chance for disparagement, and not the
slightest opportunity for a nap. It is
the most evenly balanced bill I ever re
member seeing in the local Sullivan
& Conslcline house. There is no head-
Hner, but everybody fills in the chinks
right loyally.
.Max Duffek starts things right oft.
Max is a musical contortionist who pre
fers to exude arias and sonatas while
twisted into the shape of various fa
miliar letters of the alphabet. Finally
he bends backward, in the form of a
classic arch,'his feet and head on the
stage and a pained but resolute stage
hand standing firmly on the lower but
ton of his vest. In the meantime Max
plays an inspiring tune.
Bradlee Martin has an inspiring
laugh which might be located some
where between a blat and a cackle, and
which adorns his impersonation of a
doting but miserly father trying to
marry off his son with as little expense
as possible. The son's fiancee comes on
the scene to help raise the needed
dowry for his father-in-law to be. She
succeeds after a series of boisterously
funny interviews with the old man, in
which she makes him propose to her
and then releases him on the promise
of a substantial sum to start the young
couple handsomely in life. The inter
play of character is excellent and the
acting rapid and spirited. But for the
absence of a program—the one trifll-ig
defect in Manager Bovyer's capable
management—l should be glad to give
credit where credit Is due.
Crimmins and Gore—a tall actress of
classic features and obvious talent and
a, short actor of diverting comedy
method— appear In a Bowery restaurant
sketch. There is much rough and tum
ble slang and several clever if hasty
transformations in character. The
woman member of the team concludes
the act with a modern parody of An
tony's speech over the bier of Caesar.
Once more Shakespeare enters by the
back door and gets a hearty welcome
from the gallery.
Then come the Five Lovelands In a
refined and artistic instrumental act
which reflects both good taste ami
real, unpretentious musical merit. Se
lections showing- a wide catholicity of
taste are played and the artists display

them. In addition, they reveal to the
observing auditor five very interesting
personalities. Altogether, this Is the
kind of act which does credit to vaude
ville and to the circuit which en

Billy Clark is a minstrel monologist
who concludes his turn with an old
song given a divertingly original quirk
and twist by the singer's friendly bout
with the orchestra. It was Director
Peterson's initiation into this sort of
thins and he bore its strain bravely.
Most of Clark's jokes are fairly new,
although the pun on "di-gest yet" goes
back in my memory too far to locate
with any sense of personal decency.
The concluding specialty is offered
by Mile. Martha, a shapely and grace
ful gymnast with a wide and haunt
ing smile and a dexterity in whirling
about a perpendicular rope which de
lights the eye. Personality counts for

Following a request from John Black

Oliver Mproseo has released Burbank

as the Indian squaw in "The Girl of I
the Golden West." At first, the lan
guage seemed only a succession of un
intelligible grunts; gradually, however,
the actress became able to distinguish I
a few words. Sow she is studying
the language in earnest, employing the
conversational method and with her
dressmaker and an Interpreter as In
structors. Miss Taylor knows her <I)
lendorff, but she says that knowledge |

ifestly it is impossible to say In In
dian: "The hat of my brother 'is
blacker than the hat of your sister," I
when the Digger never wears a hat and j

one if he ha 1 it.

her debut as ingenue of the Burbank

next week.
"THE SHERIFF" PUT ON
AT UNIQUE THEATER
"The Rival of Jeffries" Is at Last Dis
covered at Fischer's Play,
house
"The sheriff," in which the Earl-
Rauworth players are seen at the
Unique this week, is ;i wholesome melo
drama of the Kentucky hills and is re
plete with situations which keep the
audience keyed up till the flnaj curtain.
It is, perhaps, the most popular play
in which the Karl company has yet
been seen, and has many incidents to
commend it to lovers of melodrama.
The stage crew has done well with the
scenic poMlbilltlaa. Harry Earl, Oraoe
Rauworth, Herbert Cramer, James
Spencer, Frederick Palmer, I.elia Noel,
Delia Barle and Anna Robinson are all
well cast and Blve acceptable Interpre
tation! >>t tln'ir respective roles. Be
tween the acts an illustrated song and
motion pictures lill in the time while
the stage settings are being shifted.
"The Rival of Jeffries," the musical
farce being presented by the Fischer
company this week, is regarded by
many observers as the funniest thing
the company has yet undertaken. Billy
Onslow, in the part of O'Reilly, who
volunteers to tight one "Bulldog" Rea
gan, ably played by Esco Ives, has the
best comedy role he has yet assumed
and gets much laughter out of it. A
feature of the play is the burlesque
boxing match seen at the end of the
act. Onslow and Ives, although getting
most of the laughs, have to share their
honors with the other members of the
company who lend material aid in mak
ing the piece a success. Frank Morton
is cast as Sam Berger and plays his
part in an able manner. Miss Bauman
as Mrs. Qilhooley and Miss Helperin as
her daughter please the audience. The
plot of the piece is hardly noticeable,
but its occasional absence allows a
change for the introduction of pleasing
specialty and musical numbers. The
chorus shows thorough drilling and is
seen to excellent advantage.
