Mary Roberts
Rinehart, Mystery
Writer, Dead at 82
NEW YORK, Iff) — Mary Rob
erts Rinehart, best-selling author
of mysteries and novels for 50
years, is dead at 82.
She died in her sleep Monday
night in her Park Avenue apart
ment. There, until writer’s cramp
afflicted her two years ago, she
applied her pen every morning
to one of the most successful ca
reers in the history of publishing.
From her pen flowed 60 full
length novels, hundreds of short
stories, verses and plays — suc
cess following success like chap
ter in a book.
Estimates on the number of
copies of her books sold range
to over 11 million. A publisher
once figured that her millions of
readers paid some 27 million dol
lars to read her works and see
her plays. She tempered the mur
ders of her mysteries with love
and humor' and helped the crime
story to come of age.
Her first book, “The Circular
Staircase,” published in 1908,
achieved a storybook success right
off the presses, and has sold some
800,000 copies over the years. It
is still in print.
Personal tragedy punctuated
her life. Her father committed
suicide when she was 19. Her
mother died an invalid. After Mrs.
Rinehart was married and the
mother of three, the panic of 1907
left the family $12,000 in debt.
She took to writing to salvage
the family finances and her career
was born.
Her husband, Dr. S anley Rine
hart, died in 1932.
Mrs. Rinehart underwent sur
gery 15 times, once for cancer,
survived four heart attacks and,
against her doctor’s advice,
smoked a pack of cigarettes daily
to the end of her life.

To The Editor j
Alaska’s election on November
I 25, at which a Governor and mem
, bers of the Legislature will be
j chosen, is not only the first elec
| tion under Statehood; it. is the
. most important. For the pattern
| established in these formative
years will guide Alaska’s destiny
! for many years to come.
I For that reason, as I begin my j
! active campaign for Governor |
j with the help and support of the
jmany fine Republican candidates
| for the Legislature, I feel it is
j my duty to set forth in unmis
! takable terms the principles for
! which I stand and the program I [
shall offer to the Legislature in
the event of my selection. This
is not a time for generalities. The
people of Alaska have a right to
know where I and my associates
stand on all the great issues facing
us in the transition from a terri
tory to a State.
To do less would be to insult the
intelligence of all those who exer
cised such good judgment in their
overwhelming approval of State
hood.
The Constitution which takes
effect upon the proclaiming of!
Statehood imposes upon the Gov
ernor and the Legislature the duty
of implementing the Constitution
by specific legislation. How well
that task is accomplished in the
early days of Statehood will set
our future course and determine
whether our new State will
achieve the great promise inher
ent in our land.
I have but one obligation to ful- j
fill. That obligation is to the!
people of the State of Alaska. |
