Hi,
I got a new Z theory..we were assuming that Z might have been a movie and/or theatre buff, possibly someone who was even an actor of the Mikado etc..Lamplighters SF theory etc.
When looking at the Vallejo map in connection with the Pimental murder, however, I saw that there is the Empress theatre in Vallejo. Back then, it must have been a hotspot for young people dating each other.
Checked it out so far, and indeed they had a Sullivan play in their program:
The curtain of The Empress Theatre rose for the first time on February 14 with a Sullivan and Considine vaudeville act

It is very likely that the Empress even had other pieces of Sullivan, e.g. the Mikado playing.
Update: Obviously it became a movie theatre w/o stage plays in 1951..and even more, it might have been closed from 1962 to 1978..?

This was discussed somewhere at some point…maybe at zk.com. I will try and find it. I remember coming across a history of past events and the Mikado was not one of them.
