where the customs officials had field day
going over her lace lingerie.
Chandler financed a couple of shows for
his wife, which Topped in New York and then
were taken to Europe where they did pretty
WELL
Something happened to their life of bliss
because Chandler and his wife returned to
America by separate ships.
He tried to seek a reconciliation, but she
told him she was through. The divorce courts
were the next step and when the decree be-
came final, Chandler announced that he was
through with stage marriages.
But he fell again, this time for Luella
Gear, who is still a bright ornament of the
Broadway stage. Young and beautiful she
became Mrs Byron d. Chandler No. g.
This marriage lasted for five years. when
Chandler had to face the judge again. Luella
was given divorce and once again Chandler
swore off marriage with stage beauties.
For time, he kept his promise-because
he was too busy having good spree.
On one such party he left Boston with
some other companions in his $3.50 auto
mobile. He ran the machine into a ditch and
said the car would rot before he would ever
touch it again
A cop got the jalopy out of the mud and
phoned Chandler to come and get it,
Well said the Kid, "if you got the
udnHleu tnlng out OF the mud you can Just
keep it, Don't bother me about such trifles"
Another time, he had run-in with Bos-
ton motorman. He objected to the bright
lights on the trolley car and refused to move
his from the tracks until the motorman
turned out his lights.
Chandler was thrown in Jail and the Boston
police department held his car. When he was
finally let out, the motorman came to see him
to apologize for causing so much trouble
Take the car home with YOU" said the
Kid. Those Boston cops have their eyes on
1t. I'd rather have you have it than them"
In 1928, Chandler married again His
newest bride was an actress like all the
others Her name was Betty West and she
came from Brooklyn, New York She was
thirty-one years her husbands Junior. but
they remained happily together almost four
teen years
Last year, Chandler was convicted Of send
ing lewd letter through the mails to New
York woman. He was fined 81 900 and given
a suspended sentence Of year and day
Not long ago, when he was virtually a
forgotten man on Broadway. he was questioned
about his former exploits He said:
I'm all through with Broadway II doesn't
exist as used to know IL. In my time man
could do more with 500 than he can with
$1,000 now. Why, / couldn't even make a
ripple nowadays
However, the ghost of the Millionaire Kid
may find some satisfaction in rejecting that
the last ripple he created was on the surface
of beautiful Lake Worth where his bullet
pierced body floated

Tradition relates that as he walked down
the steps of his fathers bank. clutching $4,000
in cash in his hands, he remarked:
Now for joy"
The first thing he did was to order three
automobiles Of a fancy European make. To
his delight, Manchester gasped
He was free. white and twenty-one and his
next stop was Broadway.
He wasn't good-looking. AS a matter of
fact he looked like rnischievous Puck but
when the ladies of the Gay White Way took
look at his bankroll, all his sins were forgiven.
He made his debut as playboy by inviting
the entire chorus of musical comedy to sup

he backed two shows, Miss Molly May" and
Betsy" They cost him S75,OOO and lasted
only a few weeks
He married Grace Estelle Stecher, a con-
cert singer, and after she put up with Chand-
ler's pranks for seven years, they were
divorced in London.
In Monte Carlo, the playboy reversed the
usual order of things. He walked away from
the gaming tables after an hours play with
100000. He repeated the performance three
nights running.
On the fourth night he found he had be-
come a legend in the Casino and the banker
refused to allow him 20 bet. 1t was rumored
that the Millionaire Kid had system" but
a week later he lost $3.50 600 in London
gambling house.
Despite his flair for making good his
losses, Chambers most serious difficulties
came in the field of romance.
When he was barely twenty-one, he was
sued for $4,000 by Mrs Edith b. Roberts of
Manchester, who charged he had alienated the
affections of her daughter Alice.

1t was whrlwind courtship, followed by
a quiet honeymoon in Manchester and then
another not so quiet one in Europe.
Somebody once said that Grace LaRue
must have been as opposed to private prop
erty a Communist, because she certainly
helped her husband get rid of his.
She bought II trunks of clothes in Paris
for which Chandler paid S9S000. She bought
jewels paintings and furs worth 100000. But
Chandler was delighted His wife was almost
as good a spender as himself They had that
in common, anyway.
The Kid then decided to 60 into the trans
portation business by setting up rival to
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's famous coaching
line from London to Brighton
He bought an automobile built in the style
of stagecoach and painted it "the color of
Claret with sunlight sitting through

his prices were so high that only royalty could
afford them.
