concerning Old IrOnsides':

1.-THE picture, old Ironsides,

T0DR. NELSON

LOS ANGELES. Calf. Dec. 20
d.NS.).- After q five-day separa-
ton from her husband, DR..
Eugene G. Nelson, q colored
physician. Helen Lee. Worthing.
ex-Follies girl and screen actress.
has become reconciled with the
man she married at Tia Juana ia
1927, it was learned today.
Following her marriage to DR..
Nelson, the couple lived at Holly
wood where they were hosts to
many Of the film colony. Later,
when the matter of her flls-
bands race became bruited about,
they moved to q house near the
Los Angeles black belt. Here the
former actress lived almost in
seclusiOn, until she utIarreled with
her husband 8 few days ago.
Now that q meditation has
been effected, the former actress
asserted that she had heard from
her friends that Or. Nelson had
negro blood IN his veins before
she married him.
But I have never been con-
scious of any racial barrier Of
any kind, she said. IT married
him, knowing Of the rllrnor. be-
cause I loved him. and now 4
am going back to him.
The former actress and Or.
Nelson first met early In 1927,
when he was called to treat her
for injuries. An unidentified in
truder, after forcing his way into
her Hollywood home, brutally
beat her and escaped without
leaving any clues. Robbery was
not the motive. as her aSsailant
made no attempt to take her
costly jewels.
