She told Mr.. Donohue:
II refuse to allow myself to be
placed any longer in the terrible
position of wife who has no claim
upon her husband--of q woman who
sits calmly by while the father of her
children galliyants about the country
with . young chicken upon whom
his wandering fancy has aiighted.
There Is but one thing to do

my name and the name of my two
little boys the stigma he has cast
upon them"
Mr.. Donohue advised Mrs. Andrews
that the broker could be compelled to
cleanse the Connecticut record of the
bigamous "marris ge'' notations: also
to properly support her and her sons

ing the determination of her present

TELLS PITIABLE STORY.
The first wife yesterday related a
pitiable story of the brokers alleged
neglect and failure to provide" since
his sudden departure from their HUI
son boulevard apartment. April II
last. She said:
II know Mr.. Andrews saw Esther
recently in Pittsburgh and has been
In constant touch with her for the
past three weeks-thus violating the
solemn pieuge ne maze 10 me on april

When I appeared before the Hud-
son County grand jury on April 20
1 refused to say anything that
would injure my husband. That
was on April %. Now, / am thor
oughly convinced he intends to de-
sert me.
MY duty in the premises Is plain.
J am going to do my duty"
Mr.. Donohue refused to forecast
the next step in the absorbing ma.
trimonial drama. There were dis
closures Mrs. Andrews had Quiver-
ing on the tip of her tongue. But
she spoke through a friend:
Mrs. Andrews has been compelled
to sell her automobile. Her husband
promised her a regular weekly al
lowance. He has been remiss."
Mrs. Andrews No. attributes
many Of her martial difficulties to
a sudden accession of wealth.

At the novelty.
(By Elizabeth Ann. }


Gardeners Maniacs, in a Physical
Culture Surprise" is the title of an Of
fering to be presented at the Novelty
theater, the first half of next week,
by Fred Gardner. This act has all
the earmarks of originality, besides
being a novelty unusual to vaudeville
when SO much that is odd, new and
original finds an outlet. Mr.. Gardner
is a breeder of pedigreed bull dogs
and fighting terriers, owning one of
the most famous kennels in America,
located in Oakland, Cal. His appear
ance in vaudeville occurs thru an in
cident happening when exercising
some of his highly bred dogs. In a
fenced enclosure he turned out a few
dogs at a time, giving them the run
of the lot. Adjoining his ranch lived
family with several children who
played water polo. which as everyone
knows is an aquatic sport in which a
large ball is used. Practicing throw
ing the bali one day, an unusually
strong throw landed it among the dogs
in the exercising lot and they at once
jumped for it and had the time of
their lives trying to bite or catch 1t.
Thus was the idea born and Gardner
ercise his dogs accordingly until they
became so proficient that he deter
mined to incorporate the idea into a
vaudeville act, with the result that
the number was pronounced sue
cess.
Ralph Seabury, a comic cartoonist.
and La Pine & Emery, in Little
What-Nots of Vaudeville" are two
other features of the coming bill. In
addition two more high grade acts will
be announced at the first perform
ance Monday afternoon.
The twelfth episode of 1.-THE Diamond
Queen" the serial in which Eileen
Sedgwick is at present starring, will
also be on the first of the weeks pro-
gram.

week, at the Novelty, will include the
