well, the only question I completeyly got is the one on KKK but I think I have figured out the theme, though not sure how it applies completely. Here is my explanation. The theme is Sherlock Holmes/Arthur Conan Doyle. Explanation:

30. Holmes uses frequency analysis in "adventure of the dancing men"

31. Not sure

32. "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" (got that from wikipedia)

33. Not sure

34. Not sure

35. Doyle was a member of the RSC before writing or something
