MAGRAW- ERISTAVIS fourth husband,
k- William NJ. Magraw. has brought suit to
annul her divorce from him and that is a
serious matter.
Most heiresses in this situation, would
merely say so what? ?" and. If he wins, get
another divorce But for Lucy the POSSIBLE
tiles are simply terrible" 1t might prevent
her from becoming Queen of Georgia rus
sia).
Unlike heaven, the principal known indus
try Of Georgia, where the Mdvans came from,
is marrying and giving in marriage, though
il is said that under the Cars they also
raised few sheep and lot of hell" Those
who raised both took the title of Prince.
Lucys fifth and present husband is from
this same Georgia and the title, as solemnly
intoned by their butler, is His Royal Highness
Prince Vladimir Observation-Disclosures
AS his spouse, she is Her Royal Highness
the Princess Lucy Eristavi-T Chtcherine That
is all there is TO their titles. There isn't any
more But there are some incorrigiby-irrev-
erent people in Miami who intimate that even
that is too much and lose no chance to sheer
at the validity of those titles
OF course Lucy understands that this is
just pique and jealousy and she merely lifts
her pretty nose an inch higher but eX-hus-
band Magraws attack on the validity of her
divorce is another matter.
1t is like this. If Russia should lose the
war, and If Josef Stain should be deposed
and If Russia should be cut up into its orig
inal States and If one Of those puppet kings
should be appointed 10 rule Georgia il might
as well be Prince Vladimir as the next noble
man and if Lucy is still his legal spouse, she
would be Queen Of Georgia But if Mr.. Ma
graw should cast doubts on her fifth mar
riage, then even optimistic Lucy realizes that
il would be about ole IF too many
The Villa Lucia is the proper name for
Lucys palatal home on Biscayne Island off
the Venetian Causeway between Miami and
Miami Beach but it is called by local resi-
dents, "Lucys Theatre because in il has been
staged much of Lucy's interesting career,
which they call, "A Comedy in Five Acts
and Million Scenes"
But if the current Fifth Act is TO end
with the Royal Couple living happily ever
after on the thrones Of Georgia, 1t simply
must not be sabotaged by the reentry OF cx-
husband Magraw who was supposed 10 be all
through and washed mp at the end of Act ".
If the public does not know all that has
gone before in Lucy's life, il is not her fault
because she has certainly dramatzed every
step in her onward and upward career from
a poor but honest society working girl on
the stage 10 fame and wealth.
Act ]. covering a lapse Of time from
1924 20 1926 featured her first husband Ed
ward Russell Thomas very wealthy publisher
Of the old New York Morning Telegraph. He
was killed offstage, in an automobile acct
dent, leaving her with one daughter, Lucetta,
lot Of real estate, jewelry yachts. cars
and 81 O99 600 ready cash
Lucetta was no liability either having an
income Of $4,000 year and $27 600 900 TO be
handed over in n lump when she should come
Of age girl like that is not at all like
daughter she is more like a paying guest
For the second act, Lucy selected for the
