]. B. Kerfoot and Mrs. Hunter
Married Secretly in Florida
Editor Weds Former Wife of Bosom Friend Who Sued
lin; Hunter Asks Release From Alimony;
Didn't Know of Marriage

Mrs. Anna Belleville Hunter, who
obtained decree of divorce two years
aro from Frederick William Hunter, a
wealthy lawyer, is now the wife of
Iohn Barrett kerfoot. literary editor
Of "Life" and novelist. who was the
correspondent in counter suit for di-
yorce which Hunter brought and lost.
The two principals in the litigation,
in which Hunter also sued kerfoot for
$4,000 for the alienation of Mrs. Hunt
er's affections, were married on Febru-
ary |. 1917, in Taylor County, Florida.
Hunter, who made this announce
ment in affidavit form in the Supreme
Court yesterday. asked the court. in
view Of his former wife's remarriage.
TO relieve him from tNa~ payment of
anv further alimony to Mrs. Kerfoot.
who he thinks should be supported by
Kerfoot. Kerfoot. Mrs. Hunter ad-
mitted in the divorce proceedings, lived
at the Hunter home for twenty years
without contributing to the expenses
of the household. Hunter has been
paying his former wife S33 month
slimony He asked the court to vacate
the order. under which he has been
paying this money without knowing of
the secret marriage of Mrs. Hunter to
Kerfoot.
Hunter and Kerfoot were classmates

at Columbia College. being graduatcj
in 1887. The friendship that sprang
up there became family relationship
when kcrfoot married sister Of Hun
ter. who later died. Kerfoot made his
home with the Hunters in this city and
at their country home. in Freehold,
n. J. Mrs. Hunter testified in the di
vorce suit that Kerfoot did not pay
any board or lodging and did the fami-
ly marketing with money she gave him
from the $500 month allowed by Hun
ter for household expenses. She gave
the literary critic S117.50 month for
that purpose, and never asked for an
accounting.
"Mr. Kerfoot sometimes bought cock
tails" said Mrs. Hunter.
The testimony showed that Mrs. Hun
ter had caresscd Kerfoot in the absence
of Hunter. and butler said that he
had seen the wife of his employer in
her room wearing tights, and that Ker-
foot was with her. The court dis
missed Hunters suit for divorce, say
ing he had not made out a case. In the
alienation suit Kerfoots defence was
that Mrs. Hunter had no affection for
her husband, which he, Kerfoot, could
ALLEVIATE from his brother-in- law. The
jury disagreed, and there was no YER

Grace La Rue at Palace

Grace La Rue rendered q song pro

yesterday. Her return to vaudeville
was marked by class in the matter of
material. "On the Road to Manda-
lay" "Iwo Eyes Of Grey" "Somewhere

tistic range. Her method delighted d
her hearers with its freshness, it's pre-

Miss La Rue registered hit.
Langdon McCormck's spectacular
patriotic melodrama called "On the

rHll CAST
BY Haywood Broun

"A Cure for Curables." which was
presented at the ThirtN-ninth Street
theatre last night, is moderately
amusing and aggressively wholesome
1arce-comedy. The dialogue is humor-
Gus, but the plot is somewhat tightly
moulded and repctitious. 1t would he
more amusing, for instance, if three
amateur farmers should limp across
the stage after their first day in the
ields than when ten come in each with
MS hand on the small of his back
After all, there are limits to the comic
possibilities of the kidneys.
The play deals with the curative
properties of radishes and other gar-
cen truck. The proprietor of fash
ionaDle sanatorium leaves his estab
nshment to his nephew upon the con
dltlon that he shall cure ten patients 9
within thirty days. Of course. the
young man wins, in spite of the evil
plot of rival practitioner. He turns
out nine patients we'll and happy and
marries the tenth
1T may be true, as Earl Derr Biggcrs
and Lawrence Whitman maintain. that
nothing in the world is quite such good
tun as raising radishes, beets. lima
beans and assorted Vegetables. We
don't know. One can hardly tell until
he has actually been the parent of a
parsnip, but we do think that utili-
tarlan enthusiasm was carried pretty
lar when one OF the characters was
brought on to rhapsodize about the
Joys of washing dishes. We've washed
dishes. That made us suspect the
| truck gardeners. The people who put
IN the entire spring with hoe and rake
SIMPLY have to make a fuss when the
first tiny green thing holds out its
clutching little hands. They feel that
they must Justify their exertions. 1t is
at best transient JOY. There comes a
Time IN the life of the gardener when
he can look a lima bean in the eve
quite calmly. We once spent summer
with Il farmer, and he was a melan-
choly man.
William Hodge is always welcome in
New York because he brings the New
Yorker in touch with so many other
cities. The man who goes to a Hodge
play has the opportunity of studying
the taste Of Boston, Portland, Provi-
dence and the Standard He is an
actor who accurately represents the
theatrical likings of the average Amer
lcan. Suitably enough, then, "A Cure
loi ourapies is amusing, NAVE and
sentimental
Mr.. Hodge played in better spirit
than for some time. lie seems to be
abandoning bis habit of speaking lines
with his eyes closed. His company was
capable. Brigham Royce in particular
gave good performance, and Jerry
Hart and Charles Z. Werner were also
amusing: Clara Moores, Mr.. Hodges
new leading woman, was attractive and
looked so buoyant that nobody ever
doubted that she at least would be an
easy cure for the doctor
