 GO TO KAY FRANCIS
Famous Actress Long Has Held Her Marital Chances Secret
 But Suit Reveals McKenna as Her Fourth Husband

<, eKnneth McKenna, her fourth bus band.
 That act alone caused onl. mild surprise in the celluloit l colony.
 But even some of Rays close I friends will be startled to learr i that McKenna, himself we'll known screen actor and director was Rays fourth husband. He was thought generally to be hei second.
 Apparently, Kay has been mighty successful in keeping her past Q deep, dark secret. When she ar rived in the film colony she was married to F. Dwight Francis who was said to have been her first husband. A little sleuthing brings to light the fact that he was her third.
 However, details surrounding her first two marriages are very vague as to places and dates of the marriages and divorces. Her first husband is said to have been John Meehan. And her second was Will liam A. Gaston, socially prominent Boston attorney.
 No dates regarding either of those marriages can be secured. ex- cept that her divorce from Gaston came before January, 1928, when he married Rosamond Pinchot, niece of Governor Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania.
 Miss Francis declines to make any comment on these marriages, just as she refuses to discuss, her current divorce action from Me- Kenna.
