MISS RAMBEAU SELLS FURNITURE: Actress Who Divorced Will lard Mack Gets Rid
 of Goods.

New York, April 5-Marjorie Ram beau, actress and movie star, having divorced Willard Mack, actor and playwright, and remarried, Is now see6in ga legal separation from all the furniture and household ixins they once shared in common. She Is now having sold at auction in Smiths Knickerb ocker salesrooms, 18th street and Seventh avenue, a collection of furnishings which for magnificence and weeirdness is-well, it's like those startling jumbIes that directors put into some of these swell vampire es- t2blishments in the movies.
 The vendue is not due to the fact that her new husband, Hugh Dillman McGaushy, who married her on March s after having started ar un as her stage son in 'tThe Fortune Teller at the Republic theatre, ob- jects to having any oleographs of his predecessor in office staring at him fxedIy from the walls, causing cold chills to chase themselves up and down his temperament.
 No; according to information ob- tained from Traffic Cop Babe Mac Donald, the champion weight thrower, who throws the traffic around Broad way dI 4OTu street, lIle reason Cui rent along New York's Apptan Way Is that Miss Rambeau wishes to cut her self off entirely from her former hus- bands shaving mug.
 So the sale of practically everything but the carpet tacks that fitted in her apartment, the Turrets, on Riverside Drive at Eighty-fourth street, as well as her country residence at Pelham Manor, has been going on for the last three days, while theatrical managers, players and proprietors of Broadway s purple palaces have been mussing up one anOther's makeup in the effort to get possession of Miss Rambeaus s brilliant thermos bottles and other rare objects of art. Up till yesterday the sales aggregated $14,425, which ln- dicates that the theatre folk aren't offering passes in exchange---or at least that the clever Miss Rambeau isn't taking any.
 Yesterday the highest price offered was $470, which brought a Louis KY bedroom suite to a lucky chap who was able to indulge his weakness for sleeping entirely surrounded by Cir cassian walnut. But that wasn't the real outstanding feature of the days bidding---nOt by 250 pounds.
 The lbig thud on Broadway's con scioUsness occurred when Billy the Oysterman, who looks as though he carries a large part of the stock of his restaurant on Twentieth street concealed on his person, Bought huge mahogany chair, formerly the property of Grover Cleveland, with compartments that might be useful before prohibition sets in. It was whispered that Billy went to the chair ---or vice Versa---nOt because he bid $2S, but because he was the only one present who could fit it's dimensions, Billy breaking the scales at something like BOG pounds.
 Even more of a sensation was caused when Auctfoneer c. F. Smith offered a celluloid foot brace and leg rest What can this mean?" 1llur- mured the embarrass actors, using the discreet murmur of delicacy. It was explained that Miss Rambeau has used this for support after she frac- tured her---wel, what she was skat- ing with at the timeA-and hadn't bought it for a parlor ornament. Some lucky GDg got that too.
