CHORUS GIRLS ROOM
RENT GOES UNPAID

Butte. Dec. 30.-Being a producer
of attractive girlish reviews for the
of the folk in the small
towns of Montana sometimes mas
drawbacks-such as providing rooms
for the girlish chorus. 1t was this diff
ficultv that brought Frank Hayward
into the tolls of the law.
Hayward was placed under arrest
on charge of defrauding an inn
keeper. Mrs. J. M. Boyd of the Grand
hotel was the complaining witness.
HAYWARD, it is alleged, rented several
rooms for members of the chorus OF a
show which he is producing, and
planned to route through the small
towns of Montana.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Boyd to Deputy County Attorney
Frank Sullivan, Hayward housed the
attractive chorus until the room rents
ran up to $500. Mrs. Boyd states that
she has been unable to collect the rent
A complaint has been filed against
Hayward in Justice of the Peace Louis
A. Buckley's court.

POPULAR ACTRESS
WILL TAKE NUNS
VOW IN CONVENT

Paris.-After ten years of austere
living, neither receiving her friends
nor hearing any news Of the outside
world, Eve Lavalliere, once Frances
most popular actress, is beginning a
year of prayer and meditation prior to
taking the veil in the Francisaines'
convent at Hyeres.
Her sudden disappearance from the
Paris stage, ten years ago, has never
been explained. Reporters tracked her
to small town in the Vosges, but she
barred the door to them. Friends wrote
asking for appointments but she never
answered the letters. Now she has re-
turned to Toulon, where she was born
in 1868, planning to spend one year in
meditation and prayer before she takes
the VOW.
Eve Lavalliere first made her ap-
pearance on the Paris stage in 1883
when she was 20 years old. Five years
later she was the idol of the public.
For years she was star at the famous
varieties theater. Now she is living
in a small house near the Toulon wa
ter front. Her only companion is a
friend who is also planning to enter
the convent.
