RUGGED IN AND

Actor-Manager Sued for Not Re-

a stage hug started the marital car
GERS of Leslie Morosco, actor ana
manager and brother of Oliver Nor
CISCO. producer of plays, and MISS
Dorothy Holmes II was an off-stage
hug that brought about the probable
ending of the romance, for the second
hug was not for Mrs. MorOsco. Hence
the trial yesterday before Justice Guy
Of the divorce suit brought by Mrs.
Norosco against her actor-manager
husband. The court reserved decision
a mere formalitv in undefended cases
Of this kind.
The couple met for the first time in
1910 in a Harlem theatre at a re
hearsal of a vaudeville sketch called
THE Million Dollar Wife" Morosco
had come from Los Angeles, where he
was q part owner of the Burbank Inc
atre. His part required that he hug
the leading woman. The latter was
Miss Holmes. She had never been
Rugged before with real Western fer
vor and she liked it. SO did Morosco.
Within a few days from that first hug
Miss Holmes and Morosco had signed
in Hoboken to embrace for the rest OF
their lives.
One night a few years later Mrs.
Morosco received q telephone message
from Eugene Collins, an actor. telling
her that her husband was not coniining
his hugs TO his wife. She investigated
and the suit followed. Mrs. Morosco
told the court she did not want any
alimony.
