STAGE ROMANCE ENDS
Chorus Girl Sues to Have Her Mar
riage by Mayor of Newark
Annulled.

New York, May IA process ser
yer from the Office of Burger and
Burger, attorneys for Mrs. Ethel May
Reynolds, has succeeded in tagging
Thomas L. Reynolds, at Forty+second
street and Broadway. The tag this
time consisted of summons in suit
for the annuInent of Mr.. Reynolds
latest marriage, which took place on
MAY 27 last in Newark, n. j.
She says in her complaint that Rey-
nolcls told her all kinds of fibs to in
duce her to marry him.
Among the things she says he did
in addition to giving her several thou
sands of dollars in cash, $4,000 shares
of stock in an oil company and an
automobile, was to represent himself
as being prominent in politics, in real
estate matters and in finance.
He also t.1d her, she alleges, that
he had been State Senator, the
United States Ambassador to Russia
and that he was about to be candi-
date for United States Senator on the
Democratic ticket.
On the evening before their consem-
plated marriage, she says, he was ar
rested on change of Running a gam
bling house. He told her that it was
merely plot of his political enemies
to ruin hns chances Of getting the
Democratic nomination. He would foil
them all.
Mrs. Reynolds says that it was not
until after they were married thai
she learned that, although Reynolds
had been more or less prominently
identified with Tanlmany politics, he
was net the well-knvwn former State
Senator Reynolds nor had he ever
been Ambassador to Russia.
She learned also, she says, that he
had pleaded guilty to the charge OF
gambling and that she was not his
first wife. He had had, she says, two
wives from whom he had been divorc-
ed before he met her and that he was
orce sued by Jacques Bustanoby for
the alleged alienation OF the effec-
tions of Mrs. Bustancby.
Altogether, Ethel May declares, Mr.
REYNOLDS was not the kind of a man
a had working chorus girl would
have picked out for a life partner
and she hopes the Court will just
| cancel the whole affair and give her a
clean matrimonial slate, so the next
time she will know better than to be-
lieve everything some men tell her.
