~ tne Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, August 1.-THE
purple-penned diary to which gay
Mary Astor intrusted the secrets OF
her Aim colony life focused attention
today at her celebrity-studded child
custody suit.
A way to unlock the legal door to
its contents was sought at trial
which already has introduced in evi-
dence such prominent names as John
Barrymore, the actor; George S. Kauf-
man, the playwright. and Bennett
Cert, former husband of Actress
Sylvia Sidney.
John Anderson, counsel for Miss
Astor's ex-husband, DR.. Franklyn
Thorpe, said he would make strenuous
efforts to introduce the journal as
evidence the red-haired Miss Astor is
not a fit parent for her 4-year-old
daughter Marylyn. Miss Astor brought
suit to break the order granting the
handsome physician sole custody.
Anderson earlier tried to introduce
a portion of the actress diary and
Roland Rich Woolley, Miss Astor's
attorney, protested vehemently.
The new move was disclosed by
Anderson after his questions drew
spirited denials from the dainty wit
ness that she carried on boudoir af-
fairs with number of men, whose
names he brought up like rabbits from
a hat.
Kaufman was sought today on a
bench warrant issued after he did not
appear in court in response to a
subpoena.
The actress has testified that DR..
Thorpe knew of and condoned her
relationship with kaufman. Anderson
coss-examined her at length about it,
eliciting sharp denials she had told
her husband she lived with the writer.

Thorpe, quoted Irving Thalberg, movie
producer, as saying the lanky play

Hour after hour, Miss Astor sat
through Anderson's extended cross
questioning. She spoke in low, fiat
voice. Only occasionally did she flash
any show of fire.
