TER-CENTENARY PILGRIM
 PAGEANT AT NORTH TRURo

Boston, Mass, Aug. 25.-The first ter centenary Pilgrim pageant of the year is being presented today at North Truro, Mass, way down along Cape Cod, in natural amphitheater overlooking fresh water pond where the Pilgrim Fa- thers camped. One hundred and sixty townsfolk of North Truro, Truro and Corn Hill will irnpersonate Pilgrims h. dians and sailors of the period. Features of the pageant include the footing of a deserted Indian wigwam by the Pil- grims, a duel between two of the May flower company, fought over a maidser- want, the kidnapping of a lost child by the savages and an exciting encounter between the Indians and Pilgrims Be- tween the episodes a group of 25 bare footed girls will dance four numbers.
 The historical facts set forth in the pageant are these: The Pilgrim fathers first set foot on American soil Nov. 21, 1920, at Provincetown. The first expedi- tion sent out from the Mayfower to look out a place tor habtation'' went ashore November 25, 1920, and tramped to. North Truro a few miles up the cape. The Pilgrims had their drink of New England water somewhere between High Head and North Truro Nov. 26, 1920. On the same date at Corn Hill they found the first Indian corn they ever saw. stored in baskets, buried in mounds of sand. This they took with them. It was this corn that later kept the Ply mouth colony fir omstarvation. This i'm portant episode of the finding of the corn antedates the Plymouth landing by about three weeks.
 The pageant has been in preparation for a year, and is largely in the hands of summer residents.

 HER THIRD MARRIAGE

Married three times before she was 21 years of age, Marie Oddo Gammans of New York city, formerly a New London girl, is now suing in the supreme court of New York for a separation from her third husband, Nelson Gammans. Marie Oddo was known in New London as the May Queen and was the daughter of Charles Oddo. In June 1903, when only 13 years of age, she married Salvatore Guffrie. Later she married Rufus w. Gaynor, son of the late William J. Gay nor, mayor of New York. In February, 1911, she eloped with Nelson Gammans, a 19-year-old Harvard sophomore.
 Tuesday she filed papers to secure a separation from Gammans, who she al- legged is suing for divorce from her in Porto Rico and demanding the custody of her daughter by a former marriage. Mrs. George Gordon Gammans of Port land, Me, mother of Marie's present husband, is alleged to have bitterly op- posed her sons marriage to Marie and is said to have offered hi-.; considerable money if he would refrain from mar rying her and finish his course at col lege.
 Gammans eloped with Marie, however, and married her despite his familys op- position. He then completed his college course and after graduation joined, a New 4Ork law HrIn. lie IS now con nected with their office in Porto Rico. In his complaint for divorce now before the Porto Rico courts, Gammans alleges that Marie treated him cruelty and abandon ed him. He alleges that he had adopt ed Marie's legal daughter, who is now IT years of age. and hej desires to have the legal custody of the daughter award ed to him.
 Marie was divorced from her first hus- band Guiffrie in Houston, Tex Be- fore the decree had been granted, how ever, it is claimed that she married the son of the New York mayor. Gaynor sued for an annulment on the grounds that Marie was the legal wife of Guiffrie at the time of her second marriage. The court upheld this contention. Marie ther captivated the Harvard undergraduate She gives her name as Marie Oddo-Guif- frie-G -Gaynor- -Gammans.
