 AT FOX'S THEATER

Hayden Talbot, who wrote the sen- sf tional divorce drama "Alim ony," being presented at Fox's theater to- day and tomorrow, spent ten years of his life as court reporter and police court roundsman in the City of New York. He details his experiences and observations in the photoplay, the plot closely following criminal case which was published under far ing headlines the country over a few years ago. Necessarily the identity of the principal is disguised, but 1t is a fact that the crooked lawyer who is typified by Elijah Stone in the photoplay is still doing time in Sing Sing for his attempt to fleece wealthy young clubman. The modus operandi of these legal sharks varies but the case detailed in the plot of "Alimony" was as follows: A wealthy married woman of middle age be- came infatuated with a young man who had recently come into a for tune.
