Corey Case Gave IT Fame
and Gaynor Girls Used 1t


AS a divorce centre Reno was not known
prior TO 1906 when Mrs. Laura 3. Corey,
wife OF w. Ellis Corey came here and
secured divorce. This case was given wide
publicity, and from then on the population
of Reno grew rapidly with six months resi-
dents. Margaret McKm. now Mrs. Raymond
T. Baker, was one OF the prominent residents
OF 1911. Two daughters of former Mayor
Gaynor of New York received their decrees
here Mrs. Edith vingut secured her divorce
in 1912 and Mrs. Helen G. Bedford was
granted her freedom In 1920
Madame Cobina was granted a divorce
from owen Johnson in the Reno court, and
Margaret Gould secured decree In Novem-
Der. 1919, divorcing Count Pierre ID. Ber-
nard.
In their efforts to avoid publicity many
prominent Eastern people come to Reno and
live under assumed names until their cases
come before the court. Through their attor-
neys In the East arrangements are perfected
here for them with local attorneys, providing
the homes and ready to receive them on
arrival In this way they avoid all notoricty,
except In few instances until their cases
are filed.
One hundred and ten attorneys are prac-
tising In Reno now. and more than one-hah
of them handle little else but divorce cases.

To another the aria has marked a great sue

Those who have seen Antonio Scotti in
the powdered wig and black velvet of Scdrpta
may indeed be surprised to know that it is
in the gaudy clown suit of Tonic that he
finds what to him is the greatest song for
the barytone. Critics. music patrons and in
fact the whole music and dramatic world
agree that his characterization of the Chief
of Police in "Tosca"is not surpassed as a work
of art on any stage. But while he goes on
with his inimitable impersonation of the
villainous Baron, 1t is always thing Of JOY
when he can poke his head through the cur
tain and cry Isl puo."
