RatIs Contract With Aesldd's
 FOlGS

Paris, June 20 (UP) = Marilyn Miller will continue as a Ziegfeld star after her divorce from Jack Pickford for which both she and her husband have arrived in Paris. Miss Miller announced today. ' The announcement revealed that Miss Miller had signed contract to appear in Ziegfeld musical comedy next fall. Meantime, Jack and Marilyn planned today to see the sights of Paris together while awaiting their divorce. and. simul- taneously, the Paris bench was re- ported to be planning to make their sightseeing activities continue for a long time.
 The. French judges were incensed by articles in newspapers quoting Marilyn as saying that Paris is the easiest place in the world to get a divorce-better even than Reno. Nevada"
 The former musical comedy star denied she had ever made such a statement but the judges who have been restive under native criticisms that Americans were given special privileges denied to French divorce applicants. may make an example of the highly press-agented pair in an attempt to satisfy the public that they are not discriminating in favor of foreign. CTS.
 It was. revealed that Mae Murray another American movie star, ob. tained a decree in ten days. al- though many Frenchmen are forced to wait as long as two years.
 Jack and could have been di. vorced in America" Marilyn said in attempting to overcome the un- favorable impression of the 1urists s'We chose Paris because it gives us both q vacation while we are waiting.
