GOODwIN's TRICK WINS
Prevents Edna Goodrich's Mar
riage to Gain Her Himself

In the issue of September The Call
printed exclusively a long dispatch
from New York laying bare the true
reasons for the separation of Harry
Mcmillan and Edna Goodrich.
1T was then brought out that Good
win had secured a copy OF the COM
plant in the divorce suit about to be
filed by his wife. Maxine Elliott. This
complaint named Edna Goodrich as the
correspondent Through the aid of a
friend Goodwin succeeded in having "A
copy of this document put into the
hands OF Harry McMfllan's mother. The
sons marriage to the "Florodora"
beauty, renewed her entreaties on
learning the contents of the complaint
She maintained that in the face OF the
of Edna Goodrich she was not the
proper woman to be her daughter in
law.
Goodwins trick won. Mcmillan con-
sented to his mothers .pleadings and
broke OF the engagement. leaving the
road clear for Nat Goodwin.
When this story was hrSt published
Goodwin vigorously denied it.
Il am heartily tired OF having my
name associated with one Harry Nc
MILAN and Miss Edna Goodrich" he
wrote in a letter to The Call so long
as you kept other names out of the
supposed controversy I said nothing.
but now that you have dragged in the
name OF my wife. 1 think il is about
time for me to enter a very serious
protest"
In spite of his denials. his protesta-
tions and his expressed desire to shield
his wife's name, he followed them up

to have been attacked. Having sue

contest the suit. 1t was definitely
announced short time ago that she
was about to begin suit for divorce
against the actor, and that her COM
plant for divorce contained some very
startling allegations against his char
acter. If this be true there probably
will be a cross bill as we'll as a gem
eral denial of the allegations made by
Goodwin.
Back of 1t all comes the conjecture
that the reason of the recent rupture
In the domestic relations of Harry Nc
MILAN and Edna Goodrich, which re-
suited In the breaking off of their en-
gagement. was that Goodwin has won
out In his fight for the heart and hand of
the former Floradora beauty, and is
endeavoring to sidetrack Maxine Elliott
In order to become the husband of his
pretty leading lady.
The opinion is also advanced by many
that the filing of the divorce complaint
explains the action of Goodwin in en-
tering business in Reno. 1t was for the
purpose of establishing a residence
here in order that he might bring the
suit for divorce, the statutes requiring
that he be a bona fide resident of the
county in which the suit is brought
for a period of at least six months pre-
ceding the commencement of the &C
tion.
