An actor named Charles j. Davis,
but who is better known to theatre
goers in his character of Alvin Jos-
lin, was recently arrested in New
York, because it was alleged he was
about to leave that city. He was re
leased after giving certified check
for $1,000 as bail. The arrest was
made in connection with suit for di-
vorce which was brought by Mrs. Da'
Wis, who says that she was married to
him under the common law without
ceremony of minister or magistrate,
and she charges him with untaithful-
ness and failure to support her; alleges
that his income is at least $25, 900 per
year; that his jewelry is worth $4,000;
that he holds mortgages on real es~
