 MUCH SURPRISED
Bette Davis Pulls Fast One on M0vies-Wed to
 Son of Dentist
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN Limited Press Hollywood
 Cnrreenandenf

Hollywood, Jan. 2-(UP) Bette Davis pulled a fast one on Holly wood love-and experts by marrying Arthur Farnsworth, a Vermont dentists,s son.
 They didn't even know she was in love with. him. They never had heard of him. They received theiy first jolt of 1041 when Miss Davis dispatched ,telegrams to news ser- vice offices, announcing her mar fiage to Farnswortn on New Years eve, at the 15,0O0 acre ranch of Justin Dart near Rimrock, Ariz. Mrs. Dart is the former. Jane Bry- an, movie star.
 Miss Davis and a party of friends flew to the ranch from Hollywood. The 34-year-old Farnsworth flew from the east. The Rev. Robert Price, a Methodist parson from Clarksdale, Ariz, read the ceremony, the IlewlywedS began their honey moon by automobile, and the wed- ding party flew back to Hollywood.
 Miss Davis and husband will be back in town Monday when she starts new picture and the fans will have to wait until then for a picture of the groom. He's only been in Hollywood once, a year ago, and nobody knew him except Miss Davis.
 Two Childhood Suitors
 It seems she had two childhood suitors. One was Harmon O. Nell son, who led the band at the New ton, Mass, high school. The other was Farnswortt, the dentists son.
 She married Nelson in 1892 and spent an evening listening to him sing in a Hollywood night spot known as the Cinegrill. She was earning $2,500 a week and he was a none too successful musician. Two years ago Nelson filed suit for di- vorce, making the standard charge of cruelty. He said his wife spent too much time reading books and not enough with him.
 Miss Davis later spent several va- cations at 8 lodge in the White Mountains, at Littleton, N. H. No- body here knew that Farnsworth was the manager; it wouldn't have meant much if they had.
 Got Long Vacation
 In 1889 Miss Davis made five pictures and then tod the Warner Brothers she badly needed a vaca- tion. She got and she spent seven months in F,ranconia, N. H., where she built a house and where, pre- sumably, she resumed her friend- ship with the resort manager at nearby Littleton.
 She returned to Hollywood last February and built another house in suburban Glendale, miles away from other movie personalities. There she and Farnsworth will live and desist from having breakfast with each other.
 Miss Davis once said that the only to make a marriage work is for husband and wife to breakfast separately.
 Members of the wedding party, apart from Dart and his wife, were Ruth Garland, friend of the bride; Perc WeEtmore, the makeup expert who has spent long hours making Miss Davis look even more beauti- full than she is for the screen; her sister and nother-in-law, MT. and Mrs. Robert Pelgram, and her mother. Miss Davis mentioned them aN n hAr telagrana to the press.
