ACTRESS WILL CHARGE SON OF
RUBBER MAGNATE WITH IN
FIDELITY AND CRUELTY.

Los Angeles. Cal, July S.-That
Miss Ethel Barrymore, the actress, is
to sue for divorce from Russell Girls
void Colt, son Of Col. Colt, the former
head Of the rubber trust, is reported
here. Miss Barrymore, who is playing
at the Mason opera house, is said to
have dispatched messenger to New
York with the necessary papers.
That Miss Barrymore has decided to
be rid OF young Colt, to whom she was
married over two years ago, is a mat
ter of no surprise to her many friends.
1t is known that almost from the be-
ginning the marriage has been an I'm.
happy one The final straw which led
the actress in spite of her devotion to
the Roman Catholic church. to decide
on divorce is understood to be evil
dence OF inhdelity, the only charge suf-
ftcient to secure decree in New York
state.
Miss Barrymore. it is understood,
has for some time suspected that her
husband had been guilty of violation
OF his marital VOWS.
Seeks to Protect Child.
Since young Colt went out for a
good time with Jack Barrymore. the
actress brother, some time ago, Miss
Barrymore has had her suspicious.
Because Of their child Samuel. born
within year after their marriage,
Miss Barrymore has endured deal OF
i'll treatment, which could. it is said,
easily secure her divorce were she
resident of any state other than
New York.
Colt, her intimates declared. turned
out to be anything but the model hus-
band it was hoped he would be, mas
much as he was chosen from host OF
more promising suitors. Even before
the birth Of their child, Colt is said to
have beaten his wife so severely that
she was forced to ask his father for
protection Moreover he contracted
the habit of abusing her verbally, ap-
plying to his wife all sorts of imprint
able expressions.
In addition, it Is said. he fostered
fondness for Scotch highballs. and
these did not make him more amiable
or presentab1e.
Couple Separated, Months Ago.
Finally Miss Barrymore. unable to
nut up longer with his conduct, left
him. This was several months ago.
* short time since, when she was
playing in Chicago. Miss Barrymore
sent their child east to see his father.
InsteaI Of welcoming the babe. Colt
notified the nurse that he had engage
ments to attend a prize fight and
golf game and so was unable TO visit
his son at Miss Barrymore's country
house. News of this action. it is said.
so infuriated Miss BARRYMORE that she
decided to plan for divorce.
