DIVORCED BUT

cts great to be divorced and still
be In love with your husband"
Pretty Miriam Cooper, one of the
twinklers In the all-star cast of 1.-THE
Broken Wing" Preferred Picture,
to be shown at the Weaver Theatre
Saturday night, makes this surpris-
ing statement and then put big
string to 1t by saying that She isn't
really divorced. except in a pro
fessional way, and that she Is still
eating breakfast, dinner and some
times lunch with her director-hus-
band, r. A. Walsh.
To put the mater plainly, Miss
Cooper is now making her screen
bow in Tom Forman production,
not because she doesn't believe her
husband is one of the very best
handlers of a megaphone in the
world, but because she wants to try
her wings under someone else so
that she will absorb all the ideas on
screen art that she is able to cram
in her charming head.
