with the aquacade when I read
I was at the San Francisco Fair at
the time-that not only was Pris-
ella Lane a married woman, but
that she was getting divorce as

months. No, 1 and lots of others
in Hollywood had. guessed at this
fact at the time. But what was sur
prising was the vehemence Of the
denial when I challenged both par
ties on the question exactly 18
months ago.
Furthermore, after saving, mo,

the camera to make them beautiful.

Career Suggested.
Carols father went to his good
friend and lawyer, Martin Spector,
and asked his advice. The latter
who has many legal clients in the
theater and, therefore, thorough ex-
perience in the manifest workings

scoring personal hit at the mo-
