PICKFORD CASE \
HEARD AT CARSON
SUPREME COURT HEARS ARGU.
MENTS AND TAKES MATTER
UNDER AMUSEMENT

The Nevada supreme court, after
hearing oral arguments at Carson
Monday on a motion of Attorney
General Fowler to have the divorce
obtained by Miss Mary Pickford at
Minden March 2, 1929, annuled, took
the case under advisement.
The court has three months in which
to make a decision, unless the case is
re-submitted before that time.
Fowler contended that the divorce
of Miss Pickford from Owen E.
Moore, another motion picture actor
was obtained by fraud since she delib-
erately swore that she had no other
residence than Gene. New, although
both she and her husband were both
bona fide residents of Los Angeles.
The Nevada supreme court and ap.
pelate courts of other states had de.
clared the state to be the third party
In divorce case, he said, and he In
tervened since Miss Pickford had
flouted the laws of Nevada.
Gavin McNab of San Francisco, at
torney for Miss Pickford, asserted that
the attorney generals act was "gratu-
itous and meddlesome action and in
reference by stranger, without war
rant in law and against public policy
He declared that the attorney general
could not have appeared In the divorce
action for either side or as an inde-
pendent intervenor, and the district
courts action was irrevocably final
since neither party had appealed.

Hurrah! Tom Mix Is
Coming in NelU Play

Tom Mix, the Fox daredevil of the
screen, is coming to the Rex theater
next Saturday night and Sunday D. m.
in "A Ridin' Romeo" In this pcture
Tom does some new stunts that will
make you laugh while they give yon
thrill Tom wrote the play himself,
so you can realize that he has put
into it all the things he likes to do;
and besides, Tom would just naturally
write into story more daredeyiltry
than an ordinary writer might imag-
inc he could do. You see, Tom has
done probably bigger thrillers on the
range when he was a cowboy and
when no one was watching him than
he has ever put on the screen. !
He has written himself into all
kinds Of mischievous trouble In "A
Ridin' Romeo" Everybody but his
sweetheart is crying him down, until
they find he hasn't done half the
things charged against him, and
nothing really criminal. Then, crowd
like. everybody turns out to cheer for
him.
This Mix picture, produced by Fox,
is declared to be smooth palatable en-
tertainment.
