DIVORCED HUBBY
NOW RICH; Wife
WANTS HIM BACK
Thought Him Disinherited
When Separated in 1912
Declares They Were
Not Really Divorced.

San Francisco, Aug. 2l.-Is Pearl
Gilmore Alisky the wife OF Charles
w. Alisky, millionaire director of a
chain of motion picture theaters?
She divorced him in Oregon in
January, 1912. Since then she has
remarked. Her. second husband,
the Terrible. Ambrose. who CO.
starred with Charlie Chaplin, was
killed in an accident five months
after their marriage.
!. When Mrs. Alisky sought her di-
vorce in Oregon she understood
that Alisky had been disinherited.
Since then he has fallen heir to a
million. She began legal proceed
ings in the superior court here to-
lday to be declared his wife and
never to have been legally divorced
from him. -.
Married in 1907.
The coEYie were married in San
Diego in 1907. Mrs. Alisky was
Clara Pearl Gilman, sister of Mrs.
-Maybelle Gilman Corey, wife of w.
E. Corey, former president of the
United States Steel corporation.
The papers filed today were very
brief, merely reciting that the couple
had married in, San Diego in 1907,
that at various, times since then
Alisky has claimed that she is not
his wife, whereas she claims she is
and asks the court to declare her his
lawful wife.
Ernest Pagnuelo, the lawyer. who
is representing Mrs. Alisky, said that
his client had sought a divorce in
San Francisco in, September, 1911.
The action was dismissed the same
year. Pagnuelo says that Mrs.
Alisky was then induced by her hus-
band to go to Oregon City, Ore,
where she brought new action for
divorce.
Base Claim on Law.
Alleging that the woman, through
the Misrepresentation and fraud OF
others, was led to testify that she
was a resident of Oregon when she
was not, Pagnuelo claims that the
Oregon courts had no jurisdiction,
that no valid divorce decree was ever
granted, and that Pearl Gibson is
still the wife of Alisky and entitled
10 a wife's rights.
Mrs. Alisky has figured frequent
ly in marital records. In November,
1912, she became the wife of Theo-
dore Armreiter at Oakland. He was
arrested soon afterwards for obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
Following their separation, came the
marriage to the Terrible Ambrose
OF the movies.
Alisky is the son of wealthy
Portland family. His father made
millions as a candy manufacturer
and accumulated much property in
the northern city. Young Alisky
recently fell heir to his fathers for
tune. Now comes his .wife's action
10 once more be known as his wife.
