Ivy Lee Moore Is Now Mrs.
Eugene La Grove.
ACTRESS WEEDS MILLIONAIRE
Was on Way to Boston to Join Com
pany When Her Lover Persuaded
Her to Marry Him.

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Ivy Lee Moore. actress. has
resolved itself into the simple yet COM
lex. old yet ever new. story OF the love
OF man for a maid. Miss Moore was
married, on October 20 in a church in
New Haven, Conn. to Eugene La Grove.

the Singer sewing machine, and several
times millionaire in mis- own right.

Groves mother. said her daughter has
been receiving the attentions OF Mr.. La
Grove for some months. The mother
first learned Of the engagement existing
between them last summer when her
daughter was home for the interim be-
tween the dramatic seasons. The fam
ry and personal character OF the sutton
being unexceptional. the family of Miss
Moore interposed no objections to the
match.
The announcement Of the marriage.
which came from the daughter TO the
mother. was no surprise. Mrs. La Grove
promised TO write the full particulars
while en- route for Europe for the honey
moon. so that up to date only the most
meager details are known.
NO Contract Violated.
Mrs Moore. however. is quite positive
her daughter violated no contract. Mr..
Sherbert. manager of the Fay Temple
ton company. desired her to sign at the
beginning OF the season for three years,
but this she declined to do. and up TO
the time the company went TO Boston,
on Monday last. no contract had been
signed For this reason. being per-
fectly free. Miss Moore had hesitat-
ed about accompanying the company to
Boston. as she was not inclined 10 go on

new play. however In which she was to
have a pleasing part. she decided to so

Of a short time to procure the license,
and the lovers were united in a church

went to New York. where they caught
an outgoing steamer for Paris. Miss
Moore barely had time to write her
mother OF her marriage. promising a
cablegram on her arrival. and a good,
long letter. telling her all details.
