~ from the COURTHOUSE AT VIII
den, Nevada, Where Mary
Pickfprd Moore Recently
Won a Divorce.
TAs Mary Pickford gotten into really
n serious difficulties in her recent
q = divorce suit-or is It all a temDest

q 4 divorce suit-or is 1t all tempest
in a teapot?
Whatever Mary Pickford said or did in
that little courtroom in Minden, Nevada,
that Tuesday afternoon OF March 2. she
was acting under advice. Just as her
stage director tells her how to follow the
plot and action the scenario writer has
prepared-so Mary Pickford in all she did
and all she said must have followed the
suggestions of her legal advisers.
Was "Our Mary" badly stage-directed by
her lawyer-and will the whole thing have
to be done over again with different stage
setting?
Or is the Attorney general Of Nevada
trying TO stir up trouble--like the villain
in the movies-which will turn out to
amount to nothing in the last act?
There appears to be no doubt that Mary
Pickford's lawyer. ex-Judge McCarran, is
one OF the ablest, most experienced law
yers in Nevada. 1t seems hardly likely
that he would have so badly managed the
case as the Attorney General asserts.
The main points OF the dispute, as set
forth by Attorney General Fowler in his
demand that the divorce decree be can
ceiled, are:
1. That the person bringing the divorce
action must for six months be an actual,
bona ade resident of the State and county
in which the action was brought" or. II not
tx months resident. then
2. where the plaintiff being an actual
r. lent OF the county the defendant can
