ing to say when it all OVER
THE public wouldn't let us be happily
married. Why, the day after our wedding
guys were taking bets on how long 1t would
last. 1t was like being short price horse in
the Derby-'even money it doesn't go two
months; two to they bust up in four
monthsn
1T seemed like the whole world was peek
ing through the keyhole!
Lois and I would have little argument
Of the kind they tell me all married couples
have but, instead of being able to keep ours
semi-private, next morning everybody in the
country seemed to know about it.
IF we went out and Lois danced with
someone else or I danced with another girl
that was broadcast as a separation. We didn't
have chance from the start!
Lois has to be in Hollywood for pictures
and have to be in New York. or wherever
someone will pay me for my services So we
decided divorce was the only solution.
II don't think Lois said was too old for
her. That's what the lawyers had her say But
she has said George belongs to the theater;
he's married TO an audience And that's true
Our ages didn't break up our married
life. In fact, was the guy who wanted TO go
places and have fun. She wanted to stay
home. AS for that Christmas business 1 was
playing in a show then. couldn't throw a
company of 20 people out of work just to go

Lois is swell gal and so is her mother
who was kind enough to say didn't mean it
If ever called her names.
"As told the boys who were kidding me
at the army camp show the other night, I
have only one regret. 1 wish the court had
awarded me custody Of Lois's motherr"
II 1t had, that would have added the last
touch to the confusion.

have come back at these soothsayers with a
snappy. "Uh.huh but bet you never guessed
it would happen this way!"
For he has the unique distinction Of being
divorced, not by his wife. but by his mother
n-law!
That sounds like one Of his own jokes, and,
in fact, may become one, after the shock has
worn off.
Right now II just seems to be LIES way of
getting back at man who has spent more
years than he probably likes to remember
amusing people with wisecracks about moth

With all the returns at last in, the com.
plete obituary Of his third marriage be
written in one sentence:
He wooed the mother. married the daugh-
ter. and was divorced by the mother.
Which is not to say that he ever enter

ing Mrs. Geraldine Gourley. Lois's mother,
any more than he foresaw that she would one
day divorce him.
Both unexpected Developments came about
because Lois is so amazingly young.

body else just an unknown quantity in al

Mama Geraldine was and is Loiss X-as
well as, by odd coincidence, her hus-
bands ex.
So IL was Mrs. Gourley who instituted the
suit that enabled Lois to detach herself from
George-on the rather mixed-up grounds that
he jealous too old, and didn't believe
in Santa Claus.
Testifying regarding this last item, the
child-wife declared that her husband wouldn't
go to Christmas party with her at her
grand folks house."
He would rather sit around in a restau-
rant on Christmas afternoon" she said
If he had got any fun out of it. she might
not have minded so much. But he didn't. Like

Il said. Yes and finally he called me up
again and said, think you had better come

There was no Tiny Tim to soften his heart
at the last minute Nor did Lois-or her
mother - tell him to go hang a holly wreath
around his neck and jump in the lake They
just dropped everything and came home she

This fine distinction evidently bothered the
Judge, for he asked did he tell you anything
to that effect?"

and to womanhood. until
she reopened at least half
Of the questions in a stun

Mrs. Gourley, Of course,
had to take a back seat
while her grandchild was
being born. but she was In
the picture again when II
came to naming the in

a Mr.. Freedman, gave a
classic description of how
this rite was accomplished.
He had called George up
long distance in order to
get it straight from the
feedbox.

could hardly talk" related
Mr.. Freedman. but he
tells me the kids name is

it was a boy they were

Jessel, in honor of former
Mayor Jimmy Walker. If
II was a girl, they were
going to call 1t Geraldine,
after her mother. So they
compromised on Jerilynn.
Is that clear?"
Clear as mud!
Mama was in there
pitching with "Jeri-" but
where was Jimmy with

In any case, Lois now
has sole custody Of Jeri-
lynn, along with $50 a
week for the baby's sup

Not so terribly much" she
answered. 1T is a thing you
can feel without having actual
words.
So far as is known these re-
marks constitute her first re-
corded admission that she is
anything less than grown-up.
Leaving others to dispute her
age, she has always gone
calmly ahead doing grown-up
things.
The dispute, which was
holly pursued from the day
she first hit Broadway with a
loud oomph in 1889, reached
its climax after her marriage
to George.
One night, while she was
lending her charms 70 the
floor-show of a Boston night
club, which had given her a
fat contract, thanks to that

Il got In the car and had TO come clear
across town on Christmas day. which is pretty
heavily loaded with traffic. and when we got
in the house he was mad at that and felt sorry
for himself because he had spent Christmas by
himself, even though he had refused TO come
with u.s."
Mrs. Gourleys integral part in all this
should not be overlooked.
Come home now and bring your mother
with you" George is quoted as saying
And after the nerve-racking drive
through heavy traffic, it was I'VE" who
entered the house and got the alleged
bawling out.
1t would appear from this that the con-
fusion of identities between Lois and mama.
which featured the courtship. was muddying
the matrimonial waters as well.
The moment she had heard that her daugh-
ter and George were going around together,
Mama Geraldine had hurried east from Los
Angeles TO supervise things.
Mr.. George Give Gourley. private sleuth,
also of Los Angeles, felt that he had an x-card
interest in his daughter, too. He couldn't come
east for some reason but he made UP for it
the best he could by keeping the wires hot
with exhortations, Nominations and just plain
messages, all addressed TO his prospective
son-in-law.
It was his way of not being out-exed by
his ex.
That George was able to keep his chin up
under these conditions testifies to the strength
of his feeling for the oomphatic Lois who at
the moment was being featured as The
Oomph Girl" of the Scandals"
How many evenings he must have sat In
sweet torture between mother and daughter.
Us there anything else you wish 10 say?"
Mrs Courley would perhaps inquire.
Only that love her. Will YOU
please forward the message?" mzzzzzM
Whereupon Mrs Gourey would
no doubt turn to her tempestuousy
silent offspring and remark: Je
George says he loves you, dear tn
Is there any reply?"
Before Lois could answer. there
would come ring at the bell.
Telegram for Mr. Jessel," boy OF
in a Western Union-or Postal II
uniform would say. Le'
Nervously the badgered sutton ioi
would tear open the envelope and
read: I
Positively forbid you 10 marry
Lois without my consent. George
Give Gourley" @aaaaHM
So 1t seemed to Georges friends
that he spent most of his courtship
woo1ng EOtss folks instead OF Lois.
Other bits Of the latter's testimony in the
divorce case make it clear that mama's in
fluence did not cease with the wedding
For instance, she said that when, after
being unavoidably delayed she arrived late
for Mrs, Gourley's birthday party last June,
George told my mother 1 didn't love her; if
1 loved her would be home on time"
And again: &C.. he always started TO cause
trouble with my mother; the first thing If he
couldn't cause trouble with me he would call
my mother, because that would hurt me-"
That he wanted TO hurt her by doing so,
is, perhaps, one explanation. But an equally
good one would seem to be that he was so
mixed-up between mother and daughter that
he really didn't know whom he was starting
to cause trouble" with.

with his alleged jealousy and unconstructive

the testimony.
