SEEKS A DIVORCE
Actress Declares Time Is Com
ing When Men Will Be Only
Home Necessity.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Anne Suther-
land, actress, reached Chicago yester-
day severely wrought up over the
marriage question. She left in the
afternoon for New York. AS soon as
she arrives there. she asserted. she
will begin divorce proceedings against
Charles Harding, a cotton broker OF
Baltimore.
Between trains Miss Sutherland
told some of her friends what she
thinks of marriage. She prophesied
that a new AmaZonian era is coming
when men will be mere figures and
women will consider them as necessi
ties of the households, but not as
equals.
What Miss Sutherland thinks about
| the situation is summed up in some
of the statements which she made
yesterday. She said:
Marriage between perfectly mated
persons is ideal, but marriage be-
tween persons who refuse to recog-
nize the others individuality can re-
suit in nothing but degradation for
| both.
The small man is smaller than any
woman could possibly be.
There is no course but divorce for
| decent woman who is treated as a
suspicious character by her husband.
A marriage that is a lie is desc
Grafton.
Unfounded suspicion, according to
Miss Sutherland, is the cause for the
crisis in her own unhappy marriage.
She said she was Swallowed" by de-
tectives while in Denver. Then as
soon as her engagement ended she
started for New York to bring the
suit for divorce.
"A man who tries to frighten and
humiliate a woman" she declared,
"only arouses her to decisive action
There are thousands of wives, re-
spected members of society, living
in luxury and honored, who are the
worst parasites and l place them in
the lowest class OF society. They are
the modern harem favorites.
1.-The woman who, knowing she Is
initiates herself and holds back the
advancement and self-respect Of hel
sex. The domineering type of mar
with his arrogant treatment of womer
will bring about the old Amazon re
gime."
Although Miss Sutherland is dissat
lsfied with her own American husband
she says American men are the bes
in the world in their recognition o.
women. She has the reputation o
being one of the most domesticateC
of actresses. At one time when sh'
was playing in Chicago she KEEP
house at Michigan avenue and Twen
tieth street.
To the question '1s Marriage Fail
ure ?"-she played the leading roll
in the play of that name two year
ago-she answers ''yes." She say
she believes in the equality of women
but doesn't like 'the idea Of then
going around voting and all that.
She declares she is not suffragist.
