Died. Princess Elizabeth Kalanianaole of Hawaii, 53, wealthy, cultured relict of Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, longtime Hawaiian delegate to Congress (1903-1922); of cerebral hemorrhage; in Honolulu. Though retired as titular head of her people, she sought their welfare as a member of the Hawaiian Homes Commission, preserved their traditions at great luau feasts, where she served old-fashioned poi, had old-fashioned hula dances.
Died. Marie Augusta Davey Fiske (Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske), 66, Grand Dame of the U. S. stage; of heart disease; in Queens, Long Island, N.Y. Death came at the home of her secretary, whose mother cared for Mrs. Fiske's 10-year-old adopted son. In accordance with her fervent wish, announcement of her death was delayed 24 hr. No one saw her in her coffin. Only three persons attended her funeral. Born of a theatrical family, Mrs. Fiske began her career at the age of three; it extended, except for a four year retirement after she married Harrison Grey Fiske, until she was forced to relinquish her engagement in Chicago last November. A strict vegetarian, a militant antivivisectionist, she was famed for her fanatical fight against wearing furs. Typical of many a eulogy last week was Producer George Grouse Tyler's: "Mrs. Fiske was the last great actress of our period. . . . Not in this generation, perhaps not for several . . . will the theatre again have a figure of her stature. . . . She stood for values that are not held in high esteem now. . . . She had no poses, no vanities, no petty weaknesses."
Died. Friedrich August III, 66, onetime gay king of Saxony; of heart disease; in his castle, Sibyllenort, near Breslau, Silesia. Unconventional, Catholic, he was popular with his Protestant subjects. While he was crown prince, his wife, onetime Archduchess of Austria, eloped with the French tutor of his royal children. When the German Republic was proclaimed in 1918, he was asked by telephone whether he would abdicate willingly. Said he: "Oh, well, I suppose I'd better." Several years later, cheered by a crowd in a railroad station, he stuck his head out the window and shouted, "You're a fine lot of republicans, I'll say!"
