The report that an iaterlocutory de-
cree Of divorce had been granted to Mrs.
Doris Rankin Barrymore against Lionel

terday by the attorneys in the case.

mony. however, failed and Lionel and
his wife lived apart.

most devoted couple on the stage.

Kitty Blanchard. a noted actress in the
days of the famous Union Square Stock

took care to bring his wife 10 a position
