 She Could Win Him Back Again, She Says

CT, a mauler, like Dempsey was. He had the championship of the worlc offered him '
 "Yes, that's what I said. Jimmy Johnson, the promoter, came tc him while he was training for the Buddy Baer fight and talked about a series of matches that would have brought him the belt. Well, yes, he did lose the Baer fight, but that was because he wouldn't train. He beat King Levinslzy, didn't he? And he could have gone onto Tommy F'arr and Joe Louis. Oh, he could mur-demolish Louis, just simply demolish him!"
 A Ctrcuit0us Route
 Miss Allen has astonished Hol- lywood, as well as the wealthy defendant in her alienation suit, by her strategy of trying to win back her husband by the some- what circuitous route of dworc- ing him. First she asked for an aIl- nulment, which was denied. Then on April IS, 1887, she secured an in- terlocutory decree which becomes final in April 193s.
 Just by reading the statements of Doyle and Delphine Dodge, as the motor heiress prefers to be known, you might get the impress sion that Miss Aliens love had cooled, to flare again like Q sunset in Technicolor when 8 rich rival began toying with the affections of the Thrush. But the actress says it wasn't like that at all, really: she was divorcing him to test his loyalty,
 "I'll tell you about it," she said 1T have always been honest with the press.
 "Jack, just wouldn't work. He is 8 big, loveable, irresponsible boy When he was supposed to be train ing, he would leave the camp and play around and drink. During the two years we were together I used all my money supporting him. l offered to pay for voice lessons, and English and dramaticS. I gave him some lessons myself. ,'.r.
 He Left Poor John
 ,"It,s amusing-this gag about his having gone to Cambridge, and the one about him and this Mrs. Goddy or, Goady reading books together. Jack never had much schooling, and he wouldn't read 9 book for 6 thou sand dollars. * T "t" N
 "Anyway,SaI kept giving him one more chance, but he wouldn't set- tie down, and finally I decided to give him his freedom as soon as pos- sible, and then If he came through and made good I would know 1t was because he wanted me back. The trip to England was to be- the big test. My brother, John Elliot, went with him, and John was 10 tutor him and help him to save hts money. Jack was to work hard and establish annuities for himself and me. You have seen some of Jacks letters to me pleading for me to take him back.
 'But over in England he met this Mrs. Qowdy, and that was the end of his good intentions. Why. he even left poor John stranded in England. e &l&ct.y.;,t N.l
 would I take him back now2 Why, Of counsel T feel that Jack is capable of so many, fine things.
 nWhen we met, At c party given by Kay Francis in February, 1885, I could see that Jack had ideals. I am from New England and I have ideals, too. He didn't. smoke or drink, and we felt the same way about things. Here in Hollywood, things were breaking niarvelously for me when I married Jack. but ! really didn't want Q career If I could have him. When he wouldn't fight any more, though, I just had to go on working"
