Harrison Thomas

Muskogee, Ok 74403


Dear Mr. Thomas:

As promised, the information you gave me has been reviewed by the staff.
However, I regret to tell you that this office will not be able to represent you
in your proposed lawsuit over your MOTHER'S PROPERTY.

Because we have a very small legal staff, we cannot accept all of the
applications we receive. This office is required to consider acceptance of cases
according to the priorities set up by our BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

The highest priority cases must be accepted first. The highest priorities are
the "basic necessities of life" such a shelter, medical care, food, income, and
freedom from physical abuse. The type of assistance you are requesting is not
ordinarily a high priority case so thiss office is unable to assist you other
than giving you the legal advice you have already receivedand the writing of a
letter to the BUYER as you and I discussed this morning.

A copy of that letter is enclosed. This letter merely puts MR. SELF ON "NOTICE"
of your allegations as to your SISTER, KATHY. It does not, however, give anyone
else notice that there is a PROBLEM with the last DEED because as the COUNTY
CLERK'S RECORDS STAND NOW, it appears that your MOTHER SIGNED THE DEED.

Although there are several methods to attack this PROBLEM, you should consider
filing a PROBATE of your MOTHER'S ESTATE. Then, within that case the issue of
the DEED could be addressed. If you and the heirs pooled your money, then none
of you would be struck with the entire attorney fee. However, you need to
consider the cost of such a lawsuit ans whether or not they outweigh the
possible return to each of you.

At this point, you can't even go to SMALL CLAIMS COURT and sue your SISTER for
your "SHARE" of the profit on the sale of the house because before the PROBATE
COURT determines who the HEIRS ARE, you just have the expectancy of becoming an
HEIR. If your MOTHER dies without a WILL, then under OKLAHOMA LAW her surviving
SPOUSE AND CHILDREN would be HEIRS however.

THOMAS LETTER, JUNE 16, 1997 PAGE 2 OF 2

If you have any questions about this decision, please feel free to contact the
MANAGING ATTORNEY, LEOLA SCHUMACHER at (918)-683-5681 or 1-800-725-5681.

If this office can be of any other assistance to you, pleas feal free to
recontact us. I hope this information has been helpful to you.

Andrea Selch


Listen my liege, my owner, my alpha-kingù
You have known me most to quail and quaver,
(I submit, I am not the pitbull
you bargained for, but quite the opposite:
Only in dreams do I quiver bravely,
queering a bunny or bagging a quail)
now, however, I have a big quarrel.
The bone is this: that bi-ped you've been
biting faces and rubbing bellies withù
boy is she quirky! So queasy and querulous,
and worst of all, what's her beef with the beasts?
She won't eat anything that once breathed,
yet she won't properly greet me:
Instead of standing still so I might sniff her butt
or lick her limbs, I must sit quietly
while she slings a soy-snack in my general direction?
Oh, I should've known, that first night you vacuumed
then banished me to the back room, left my bowl
filled with backwash, as if I'd been bad.
I didn't quibble though, thinking
At least it's not a bath!
But there, I barked too soon:
Now, for our quality time (the questing of the ball)
you have substituted a weekly bath and brushingù
quelle horreur!
Now, instead of calling Queen Bee,
you disparage my dander, admonish, "Be Clean!"
What if once I were to bite quickly
(quite by accident of course) her hand
as yet another beef-free biscuit
was bequeathed to me?
Ah the bloodbath, the bruising!
But quit this belly-aching,
I tell myself. It doesn't befit a bitch;
behave, be loyal to the last.
And so, I bay:
Once upon a time, you called me Queenie
and bantered and babytalked to me,
and we walked quotidianly, and on holidays
I quaffed beef broth from a quality bowl.
Now I am "the Bee," second banana,
on the back burner, baronessù
But still unbudging: quiescent
in my basket, next to your queensize bed.

ROYALTY

THE INSTITUTION OF ROYALTY is highly symbolic. Many ASIAN COURTS were laid out as microcosms of the universe, with the throne, at the center of the palace, representing the sacred mountain at the axis of the world. A KING had four (4) CHIEF QUEENS and four (4) CHIEF MINISTERS, symbolizing NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, and WEST. The health of the nation and the land depended on his health. In parts of AFRICA and SOUTHERN INDIA the KING was ritually sacrificed while still strong and virile, so that the shedding of his blood might renew the fertility of the soil and thus ensure the well-being of his people. KINGS have been widely believed to rule by divine right, and in some cultures to be semi-divine.
_____________________________________________

THE KING

THE KING is the ultimate symbol of power. Traditionally the monarch was surrounded by courtiers, who had the same function as the heavenly beings surrounding GOD. He was was thus seen by his subjects as an earthly counterpart of GOD and a symbolic link between heavenly and earthly power. The KING is also a symbol of consciousness, the RULER over our unconscious urges.
______________________________________________

THE ORB - GERMAN

THE ORB is composed of a globe, representing the world, with a cross on top, which symbolizes the KING'S spiritual authority over his subjects, mirroring that of GOD over mankind. The KING symbolically holds the whole world in his hand.
_______________________________________________

THE CROWN

THE CROWN made of precious metal and jewel, a crown symbolizes sovereignty. It adorns the noblest part of a person, the head, or intellect. JESUS was crowned with an ironic CROWN OF THORNS. A crown also denotes supreme accomplishment as in "crowning glory."
_________________________________________________

THE SCEPTER - PRUSSIAN

THE SCEPTER was once believed to have magical properties, much like a magic wand, and is a phallic symbol. THE ORB and SCEPTER together symbolize completeness and the creative power of male and female.
__________________________________________________

THE AMPULLA & SPOON

THE AMPULLA & SPOON, the new monarch is anointed with HOLY OIL, poured into teh anointing spoon from the AMPULLA, here in the shape of an eagle.
__________________________________________________

THE CROWN JEWELS

THE CROWN JEWELS, the essential accoutrements of ROYAL OFFICE, have assumed almost mystical significance for a ruling monarch. Without them, he or she would lose all authority. The CROWN JEWELS, ORB, and SCEPTER are essential in the coronation ceremony, when they are worn or carried by the newly crowned monarch.

THE KINGS THEATRETHE KINGS THEATRE

History

The Kings theatre was the brain child of John Walters Boughton who was the
managing director of the Portsmouth Theatre Company. He kept the project secret
from the committee, possibly because of the delicate problem of purchasing the
required property. They were finally informed of the project at a meeting on
13th June 1906, were the Company reimbursed Boughton and contracted Frank
Matcham as the architect and the theatre was built by Corke in 1907. Matcham's
unique design overcome the problem of the peculiar shape and took 13 months to
build. The main foyer stands on the site of Ebenezer Perkin's grocery shop in
Albert Road, Southsea. An added problem was that the stage area was built over a
water spring. Even today on occasion the area below the stage has to be pumped
out.

Architecture

Matcham's design for the Kings theatre wasn't one of his best and the signs of
decadence in the style are apparent. The auditorium, however is still
impressive. The main colours were cream and gold with seating in green plush in
1907 and now it is red and gold with red seating plush. According to the
Portsmouth Times, busts of famous people circled the dome; included were
Shakespeare, Dickens, George Eliot, Mozart, Beethoven. These have disappeared
and in their place is a painting, the change happened probably during the
redecoration in the 1920's. The ceiling fresco in the foyer, also executed at
the time portray the features of two local beauties of the day. The alabaster
proscenium arch is crowned by a cumbrous cartouche, supported by putty; in all a
somewhat unbalanced feature that was becoming too frequent at the time of the
construction. The stage has a rake, which runs down towards the orchestra pit.
Below is a price list of 1908 and how many could be seated 1907.

People

The Kings Theatre was opened on 30th September 1907 by Henry Irving's son.
Sadly it was not a success as a drama theatre so reluctantly the management
introduced twice nightly variety from the 3rd August 1908. When Boughton died in
1914, Peter Davey was appointed manager. In the early 1920's films were shown in
the afternoons and music hall in the evenings. Later there were often film
weeks; films being shown at both matinees and evenings.

In 1931 an operating box was created in the balcony and "Talkies" were presented
from October of that year.

In 1932 it reverted to a full time theatre, when Portsmouth's New Theatre Royal
went over to films and thus creating a new demand for theatrical entertainment.
Davey maintained the traditions built up by his predecessor and even during
World War I. He retired and W. E. C. Sperring took over control. Their was
another change in management when Sperring died and Charles Clarke succeeded. He
continued to bring to the theatre many of the leading actors and actresses, the
annual pantomimes kept up their reputation and generally speaking the position
was reasonably satisfactory. Until the outbreak of World War II when the Kings
closed along with theatres and cinemas throughout the country. However, it was
soon re-opened during the winter of 1939 and the greater part of 1940 presented
London companies in current plays. Although it was undamaged by enemy fire, the
winter blitzes of 1940-41 forced the Kings to close its doors again, and it
remained closed until 1942 when the Libraries and Museums Committee commenced a
series of Sunday concerts, the success of which encouraged Clarke to reopen the
theatre for plays. In January 1949 Clarke died and Mrs E. M. Sperring took
control.

In 1959 a local industrialist, Commander R. B. Cooper took over the lease of the
theatre. A year before he had bought Portsmouth's New Theatre Royal but had to
decided to close the Royal due to economic problems. The Kings had a trying
period after the decline of the immediate post-war theatre boom but by 1962 it
seemed to be well on the way to reviving old glories. Prior to London
productions, annual visits of opera, ballets and first class touring companies
and the annual panto put it back to "Number One" as a provincial theatre.

In 1964 Commander Coopers wife Joan Cooper purchased the theatre after
television and touring companies made the survival of the Kings a problem. The
Coopers ran the theatre up and till the death of the Commander on 5th November
1987, when Ivor Barnes became co-proprietor with Joan Cooper.
Hampshire County Council purchased the theatre in 1990 in order to secure its
future. But even with successful amateur productions with groups such as The
Portsmouth Players, South Downe Musical Society with shows like Me and My girl,
42nd Street, Fiddler on the Roof, Follies, Chess, La Cage Aux Folles and more.
Kings is currently leased to the former owners and the future is still uncertain
for the theatre. The Kings Theatre is listed as an Grade II building by the
English Heritage.
