Mrs. OK. Young's Husband
Says Manager Stole Al
fection-ASks 100000.

"a Broken Romance; or, Art versus

Mrs. Clara Kimball Young, whose
face is well known 20 devotees Of the
tim drama and who signs her receipt
each week for about $1,000 IN return
for her efforts, is the star Of this do

There are two versions. One is writ

Young for a separation on the ground

The theme Of the drama, as written
by Young, who yesterday fled a $780,

deals with wife who, believing that
her husband was a detriment 20 her
artistic advancement. left the husband.
Selznick, Young declares. was reapon
sible for this temperamental turn Of
mind on the part OF mis- wife.
The romance began in 1910 in Jer-
sey City. which, while not particular
iy romantic, IS the scene of many mar
riages that cannot be performed in
New York. The marriage of the
GOungs was one Of these. Young'5 first

playwright, having obtained a divorce

lived happily together until December
8, although Selznick denies this bliss
existed. But on that date, says Young
the defendant succeeded IN inducing
Mrs Young 70 leave her husband on
the argument that the husband was
detriment TO her artistic advancement
and career and was not fit husband
and companion. SelzniCk used the fur
Their inducement, according TO Young
of his ability 10 promote her career
Only a few days ago il was announced
that Selznick haC become the head Of
the newly incorporated Clara K mball
Young Film Corporation, capitalized at

The contract entered into by Mrs
Young and Selznick, says Young, was
contingent on her promise to leave
her husband. Young also alleges that
the film manager is respons bic for
the separation suit Mrs. Young has
brought. All this was accomplished.
Young SAYS, through the great control
which Selznick exercised over the mind
of the film star.
Selznick makes a general denial OF
the allegations IN the alienation suit
and denies that there was harmony In
the Young household. "a the husband

There has been ono feature Of the
Presidents trip which is hard TO esti-
mate. and should lie outside politics.
but which has yet had very definite
influence, the presence Of Mrs. wilson.
Some part of the crowds came to see
her. and not the President. some part
Of the welcome has been for her. How
much can hardly be judged. IL seemed
a diminishing influence. As the trp
progressed larger and larger part or
the crowd turned their faces toward the

An interesting and important feature
Of tho trip mas been the attitude Oh

bitterness In their opposition 10 VII

IN the other factions. They felt that
he had offered them personal insults
they resented the charges Of disioyalty
10 America, and doubted the PRESIDENTS
sincerity IN every move he made. IL
was said by one Of the shrewdest poll
ticlans Of Cleveland that nothing on
earth could ever induce two per cent
of them 20 vote for Wilson. Certainly
he did not change this situation mater

The Presidents discussion of the
