QUASH .P|CKFORD
DIVORCE ACTION
Screen Stars Divorce From
Owen Moore Is Sustained
in Supreme Court


CARSON, New, May 31.-Mary Pick
ford's divorce from Owen Moore was
sustained today when the Nevada SUI
preme court affirmed the order of Dis
trict Judge Frank P. Langan Quashing
service of summons in the action
brought by Attorney General Fowler
to set aside the decree granted the
movie star.
The divorce of Mary Pickford, mo-
tion picture star, from Owen Moore,
also a screen favorite, at Minden, New.
March 20, 1920, precipitated an action
by the state for the dissolution of the
decree on the ground that Miss Pick
ford's residence in the state had not
covered the period required by law.
The district court, in which the di-
vorce was granted, was asked to re-
view its decision, and reverse itself,
but held that the action had been reg
ular in every particular. and that the
decree should stand.
Attorney General Fowler then ap-
pealed to the state supreme court,
charging that the divorce was obtain
ed through fraud and collusion" on
the part of Miss Piciford, and holding
that the Minden court had no juris-
Lliction.
The defense answered that the state
was not an aggrieyed party and there
fore had no authority under the Ne
vada law to prosecute the action. Ar
guments were heard here January 80.
