"THE ROMANCE
of the
WESTERN CHAMBER"
(Dialogue in English. Ancient Chinese Costumes)
to be presented
by the
Hongkong Chinese Women's Club
at the
street."
Mr. Percy St. Georgo Kirke, father of 28-years-old Mr. Percy Ughtred Kirke, on holiday here with his daughter, mado this comment last month, discussing the fate of 27-years-old Miss Nina Plerson, ex-Follies girl, who has been found dead in the bedroom of a Paris hotel.
Miss Pierson inst April went through n marriage ceremony by candles over the anvil at Greina Green with Mr. Kirke's son.
Mr. Kirke, sen., said his family bud no Interest in the funeral arrange- ments.
"The wedding at Gretna was never registered. I don't think Mias Pler- con intended that it should be," he udded,
"It Was an escapade which ended as soon as it began, and my son regretted it afterwards "He is a high-spirited boy, and did this thing on impulse."
"MARRIED ON IMPULSE"
Miss Kirke here took up the story. "My brother's romance with Misa Pierson was a direct resull of a row she had with Tommy Manville, the wealthy American, whom she hoped to marry," she said.
"When this fell through shd married my brother on Impulse. I think afterward he thought she had let him down.
"In any case my brother had not the manry to keep Miss Pierson in the style she had been used to.
"Her death alone in a Paris hotel is a sad finish.
do not think she had much money, judging from the bills which came in to us after the Gretna wed- ding"
LIFE OF GAIETY Miss Pierson is believed to have hastened her death by the continual life of galety she led
She was found dead in her bed- room at the week-end by a servant. On a table beside the bed was a
phlal that had contained siceping draughts. The police, however, soy death was due to natural causes,
Barely a month after her Gretna romance she announced that com- plientions had arisen regarding the dissolution of her first marriage, to Mr. Paul Levilon, French electric light bulb millionaire, and declared that, "In any case, the Gretna Green marriage was rather a fork."
Then, Miss Pierson was in Copen-
travelling with hagen,
Dutch friend, Baron Sandberg, of whom she sald, "When I get my divorce I may take him as my husband."
Here is her diary of self-on- nounced engagements:
$L
