MAE WEST TAKES
 UGLY SPOTLIGHT
Alleged Husband Accuses Her of Being AnOther's
 COnlmOn=LaW Wife

Hollywood, Aug. 12-(UP)-Mae West said today, with an angry glint in her eyes, that James Tim ony, her escort at film colony af- fairs, "has been my business man. ager and nothing else"
 Frank Wallace, a vaudeville actor who claims to be her husband, sued Timony for $105000. Timony, he charged, persuaded Miss West to leave him and live as his (Tim- ony's) common-law wife. Miss West was not sued, but she had plenty to say:
 T was very interested in seeing the picture in the paper of Wallace and his business aides who turned out to be a dog, a dancing partner, lawyer and manager. It was Q good shot of the dog.
 "At last it gave me an opportunity to see what Wallace looks like. Wal lace is evidently a persistent suer. The next thing I know, he will be suing me for breach of promise, or for alimony, or for being a success" ." According to Wallace, he and Miss West were married at Milwaukee in 1911. She had been regarded as a spinster in Hollywood until three years ago when the marriage records were accidentally discovered. Wal lace went to court and had himself declared her legal husband. Miss West denied lever knowing the guy"
 To Wallace's charges that Timony took Miss West away from him and advised her to deny the marriage she replied:
 "As far as Jim Timony is con- cerned, suing him is silly. as he has been my business manager and nothing else. I'm e bit tired. how ever, of being a springboard for this person wallace-I wish he'd find . new angle"
 Timony said the charges were ridiculous"
