Billie Rhodes is
Suing for Liquor

Los ANGELES, July 7.-Billie
Rhodes, film comedy star, was left
n rare selection of liquors by her
husband, "Smiling Bill' Persons,
movie producer, who died in 1919.
Appraisers did not know much about
the stuff for they valued the lot
on basis of $4 quart for Scotch
and $50 ease for champagne.
The valuations play an important
part today in a complaint which she
has brought against William La
Plante, executor of the estate, who
asserts that the liquor was stolen
while under his care. In 1919 the
whisley and champagne was valued
Mt $500; today, Miss Rhodes as
sorts in her complaint, it is price
less.
