The situation in the income tax sys-
tenn in certain instances, whereby a

LHA GREY CHAPLIN
DENIED AL|M0NY
Appellate Court Holds Actor
Was Not Notified of
Legal Action.
By the Associated Press

By The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES, February 1s.--Lita
Grey Chaplin today went on living,
technically penniless. in the 4o-room
Chaplin mansion in Beverly Hills with
no immediate prospect of collecting
temporary alimony from her wealthy
and distinguished husband as the re
suit of a series of adverse rulings by
the appellate court in her divorce liti-
cation.
A series of decisions handed down
by the District Cour, of Appeals yes
terday disposed of four appeals made
by Charlie Chaplin's attorneys from
Superior Court action in the case.
Alimony Held Illegal,
The appellate court ruieI the Su
pArior Court had exceeded it's iurisdic-
ton in awarding $4,000 a month tenn
porary alimony to Mrs. Chaplin with
out serving legal notice on her hus-
band in the proceedings. The appel
late order restrained the receivers in
charge of Chaplin's property here
from paying the alimony. which Mrs.
Chaplins attorneys have tried vainly
to collect for several weeks.
She won, however, in the denial of
three other petitions for wIits Of pro
hibition asked 'by her husha nd's at
torneys. striking at the receiVerShip
and at restraining orders placed by
the Superior Court on the handling of
the comedians affairs by AL Reeves,
his business manager.
Legal Profession Interested.
The award of temporary alimony to
Mrs. Chaplin by Superior Judge Wal
ter Guerin, despite the fact that the
defendant was not served with the di
vorce complaint, had been watched by
lawyers, because, according to attor-
neys in the case, had it been upheld,
It would have changed procedure in
many California divorce actions.
Mrs. Chaplin's attorneys had argued
that the presence Of an attorney con-
nected with Chaplin's interests as a
spectator in court at the time the ali
mony award was made was sufficient
assurance that Chaplin was aware Of
the proceedings.
This the appellate court ruled could
not be construed to take the place of
service on the comedian, who left for
New York just before the divorce
complaint was filed.
Attorneys for Mrs. Chaplin said they
now will wait until March II, when.
the period of service of the complaint
on Chaplin by publication having
closed. they viii Task new alimony
order.
