ried the rich George Hoffman, million
sire son, only to see him die within g
few months when she had to go back to
dancing for a living. Laura Don, q
charming woman personally and a pos
tive gerrus, could not live with her
husband, McDonnough, and early left
him taking only the abbreviation Of his

his second wife, after being a widow for
less than two years, has married
Mora. the photographer. Kate CIax-
ton lived with Dore Lyon only loag

ter waking UP one fine morning to be
told by Josh Hart, the variety manager,
and the man who published the Morey
letter forgery, that he had gotten q
Utah divorce from her and intended to
marry one Of the ballet girls at
