FIDDLIN' JOHN CARSON
AT RYLANDER

''Fiddling John" Carson with his
Virginia Reelers' were heard at the
Rylander last night in tceir act be-
ing run in connection with Learn
ing To Love-" a First National Pic
ture.
We have heard "Fiddling John"
many, many times in vaudeville acts
by radio and through his Okeh rec
ords and his work here is just as
good as we ever heard, if not bet
ter. He has an original line of en-
tertainment and is popular all over
the United States with his fiddling
and singing.
His Virginia Refers" are very
good, especially the trick fiddler of
the act. The boy with the guitar is
good but will be much better when
he has had more experience.
The picture, featuring Constance
Talmadge and Antonio Moreno is
very entertaining. Constance is al

Husband WinS---But
Vie Has The Child
MAN And Wife
CLASH AGAIN
OVER DAUHTER
Wife Mocks Husbands Victories
In Courts and Files Suit
Herself

RENO, Nov. 10.-Two and half
years of battling by an estranged
mother and father over four-year-
old child, featured by pursuits across
the United States, will eliminate
soon in Reno's divorce courts.
Principals in the case will be Mrs.
Hilda Betty Cooke, Canadian beauty,
and the wealthy James Henry Cooke,
Toronto barrister, both contending
for the custody of their daughter,
Shirley.
In one legal clash after another
the husbal / has been the winner so
far-but a winner who went away
from the courts empty-handed For
as fast as Cooke has obtained new
legal verdict in his favor, Mrs. Cooke
has swept the child up into herarms
and sped away.
Now in the courts of Reno the
wife, for once, is the aggressor. The
child safely in her possession, she
has Just dismissed an application for
letters of guardianship and filed the
stronger action for divorce.
Cooke is coming from California
to fight the case. Undismayed by
the fact that all his other theore-
tically victorious legal actions have
brought him nothing tangible except
expenses, he has served notice that
he will continue to the last possible
recourse his relentless efforts to take
Shirley away from her mother.
Appeals to both the Canadian and
American governments have been
made by Cooke in the past. His San
Francisco attorney charged recent
ly that United States Senator Hiram
johnson had aided Mrs. Cooke to
continue in possession of the child.
Since its inception, Cookies fight has
been spectacular. In 1928 at Ottawa
he sought divorce, charging his
wife with misconduct and listing CO.
respondents as "Mr. A." "Mr. B.
and so on all the way to 'Mr.
BuBt the proceedings went for
nothing. A parliamentary commit
tee which heard the evidence turned
in a tie vote.
Mrs. Cooke thereupon began ac-
ton for alimony. She lost. Then
Cooke obtained a writ Of habeHs
corpus granting him custody of Shir-
ley. Mrs. Cooke and the cni!d disap-
peared.
After months of investigation,
Cooke traced them to America. Up
on his complaint, the U, 5. lm1'lgra-
ton Department issued warrant for
Mrs Cookies deportation.
On a mysterious ."tip," federal Of
ficers visited home in New Jersey
where it was believed Mrs. Cooke
and the child were stepping. They
were not there.
Last June she appeared IN Call
fornia. Cooke rushed there from
Canada, and brought new habeas
corpus proceedings. These and the
deportation case both dragged.
