tender In his fathers saloon in the
little town of Cudahy,, nine miles
south of Milwaukee He added:
"ril get along all right, don't
need her and she don't seem to
need me. not when she wears them
socks"
Here Mr.. Gilda Gray looked askance
at a photograph Of Gilda giving
an ample display OF Paris dotted
hose, said to have cost $500. The
end of his nose quivered perceptibly
and his brow wrinkled. Then he
said: ..
'"This stuff in the magazines
about her lovin' her husband Is the
bunk. We're having q fight now

she has left him with her folks
here. 1 want to get him and make

and the child awarded to him. He
says he has cared for the hoy since

The son. nine, bright-eyed,
sturdy little chap, with all the
vivacity Of his mother, has lived
his life between Gilda's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Max Michalisk, Of
Milwaukee, and the father. and
does not know his own mother.
Gorecki's utterances went on:
THAT business of being in love
with her husband, that makes me
laugh. It's cheap publicity stuff,
think, end her big fuss over the
boy this late. Is cheap publicity
stuff, too. Funny she hasn't been
80 nutty about him in these last
eight years-not until she needed
. little advertising for her show.
Then she gets all affectionate and
starts making q row about the
youngster.
"well. she won't get him II I
can help 1t. I'm going to make a
gentleman out of him. not have

"They ask me why I don't live
with her II. she loves me, and have

because don't want to live with
any shimmy shaker. 'I 49,.
"They tell me she invented the

anything about It and didn't have
anything to do with it. Anyhow,
after she got to making money she

The magazine stuff" Gorecki re-
ferred to Is an article printed in a
theatrical publication in which
Gilda explained her ideal of happi.

II am so happy because am in

Down at Gilda's home, rather
cramped and scarcely what one
might expect for the parents of a
Broadway star-once Mary Mich

passion RISES high when mention is
made that ,Gilda hasn't cared for her
boy as she might have done. The
