The Washington times., 1934-01-16

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Crane
Wilbur, actor and director, has
presented quadruple argument
in the Supreme Court against the
demand of his former wife, Bea-
trice Blinn, for 500 weekly ali
mony.
They were married in England
in 1923 and divorced in California
two months ago.
While she was seeking the de-
cree there she sued here for sepa-
ration. She caused his arrest
when he came to Broadway to
direct "Half-Way to He'll" re-
Gently. He was released on $4,000
bond.
In the latest litigation Wilbur
asserted through Ruben and Bre-
goff, attorneys, that the California
decree barred Mrs. Wilbur from
suing for separation here. He de-
clared further that her case was
outlawed because neither she nor
he legally lived in this State.
AS a third argument he held
there was no possibility she would
win a separation and that ali
money could not be fairly granted.
Finally, he said, she was receiv-
ing $50 monthly from him now
and earned $75 a week on the
stage.
Supreme Court Judge Lydon
heard the argument. He is ex-
pected to render decision this
week.

WAS PRESIDENTIAL MIXER
John T. Lacy Has Hope
of Reviving Long,
Forgotten Art

Four out of five Presidents
drank it.
ut" means champagne cup, as
prepared by John T. Lacey noted
Washington wine steward.
The delectable drink was served,
Lacey states, at gatherings attend
ed by Presidents Wilson, Harding,
Taft, Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Hoover.
And the only one who refused
to touch a drop was Hoover-but
only when he was President.
1t Was Unofficial
However, there's further catch
in the situation, says Lacy. Taft
and Wilson tasted the exhilerating
cup while President. The other
Presidents were served the concoc-
ton before they became Chief
Executives Of the land.
For instance, while Lacey was
the wine steward at the Chevy
Chase Country Club, in the days
before liquor was purchased be-
hind barred doors, he mixed
champagne cup for a Senator
named Warren G. Harding; an
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
known as Franklin D. Roosevelt,
and a young engineer entitled
Herbert Hoover.
Now interior Decorator
Today John T. Lacey is con-
nected with a local firm of in
terror decorators. But years ago
he was a connoisseur and author
ity on fine wines and liquors,
serving not only as the wine
steward Of the Chevy Chase
Country Club, but also of the
Homestead Hotel in Hot Springs,
Va, and the Metropolitan Club,
of Washington.
Now that the Eighteenth
Amendment has been repealed,
Lacey is planning to return to
his old profession, and is con-
sidering offers from several local
hotels.
He wants to help the new gen.
