War Mothers To
Realize Funds
From Lamb Sale

Highlighting various projects
in recent months in benalf of
sustaining b e Browning War
Mothers in their efforts for ser.
vicemen of Browning and var.
ious communities of the Black
feet Reservation is the one that
got under way last week when
Bill Show as agent for the War
Mothers agreed to deliver to Phil
Cole of Choteau between Septem.
Der 20 and October 10 of this
year a carload of fat lambs for
SIG per hundredweight.
The delivery. which will include
approximately $50 lambs. is to be
donated by sheepmen of h 8
section. The names of donors.
as appear upon a contract exc
cuted through Fred K. Getty of

and Charles Devereaux.

special price through the con-
tract. 1t goes without saying,
Mr.. Getty pointed out, that SINH
lar donations by other sheep
growers will likewise b Q their
token Of respect for the War
Mothers, or finally an expression
of practical devotion to the men
in the armed forces. The agree.
ment. thus. is open for the sign
atures of prospective donors.
Since its organization last year
the War Mothers have b e e n
carrying on various benefit pro.
jects for funds. every penny of
which has been used for direct
benefit of the servicemen.
Besides other gifts designed to
touch their hearts to gladness,
servicemen have been receiving
one dollar each month. An ac-
compartment has been an appro
pirate card expressing to them
the War Mothers devotion t o
them. Replies and acknowledge
ments of servicemen bare gu
their appreciation. many letters
in the War Mothers files being
singular testimony.
Since the lamb donation pro-
ject will not be able to realize for
the War Mothers funds until de-
livery of the lambs to Cole in
September or October, contin-
uance of other projects such as
dances will be necessary in the
meantime.
It is pointed out that the in.

to him, doesn't seem 70 cover the case
This is an amicable separation" he re-
marked after it had happened 1t is caused
by divergent interests Of our separate
careers"
The trouble with that is that back in 1884,
when he separated from his second wife, the
screen star, Ruth Chattcrton, he said:
Il have learned my lesson about mixing
marriage and a career, especially where both
parties are pursuing a career"
Is it likely that lesson learned that we'll
the hard way-would have TO be learned all
over again? If not, what other possible OK
plantations are there
Well Of course there's always a chance
that Mr.. Brent just doesn't like perfection.
OR maybe he likes it too Well Maybe he's
a perfectionist, who can't stand 10 have his
idols sullied by single tiny imperfection-
such Miss Sheridan's pigeon-toes, for
instance.
This explanation is interesting but also
seems 10 be haunted By the shade Of his
marriage 20 Miss Chatterton.
The chief reason why she and her pre-
ceding husband the English movie actor
Ralph Forbes, couldn't get along was that
Ralph was a perfectionist. The conflict Of
views came 20 head over the question of
dressing for dinner
Dog-tired after days work at the studio
Miss Chattcrton would slip into pair OF
pajamas and in that costume come down
to the dining room.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-01-17

Mr.. Forbes, for his part, would appear in
a tuxedo
And there they would sit one on each side
of the table, eying each other disapprovingly.
Had Miss Chatterton suspected that Mr.
Brent was perfectionist too she would
scarcely have married him, you'd think after
her Eruelng experience with Mr.. Forbes
And she had plenty of chance to observe
him before they did get married.
For she George and Ralph were such
good friends that all three lived together in
the same house! The perfect triangle.
Mr.. Forbes dcparture.for Reno just meant
that there was tuxedo lacking at the dinner
table, and after he obligngly got the divorce
that enabled Ruth and George TO marry, all
three continued TO pal around together,
SO the chances are that Mr.. Brent is not
a perfectionist.
He is, however rcputed 10 be subject to
abrupt changes Of mind. Once, for example
he took boat to Honolulu When the boat
arrived. he decided he didn't want to go 20
Honolulu after all so he stayed right on board
and went back TO Los Angeles.
But the moment he reached Los Angeles
ne changed his mind again and went back 10
Honolulu.
If this was tho characteristic responsible
for his separation from Ann, people who are
betting on a divorce would do well 10 get odds
Food may have been at the root Of the
trouble; she likes it on the Spanish side while
his tastes run 10 steak and strawberry short

After she divorced him in 1934-on the
ground that he was "sulky and unreasonable"
he remained bachelor for three years and
then eloped with young Constance Worth who
mad gone into the movies to while away the
time between boats back TO Australia
A little over month later he brought
suit to have the marriage annulled charging
that he had been presumed (the word was
never explained into it,
The court disallowed his claim and Con-
stance went ahead to get divorce on almost
the same grounds as her predecessor. She
called him "morose and sucn"
The first sign that anything might be
brewing between George and the already once
wed Ann came in 1871, when they set a record
for screen kisses
The kiss, which lasted $50 seconds
prompted an Indianapolis inventor TO invite
Brent to try out his new lipstick remoter. a
New York promoter to wire the principals a
$500 offer TO participate in a "kissathon."
and Kansas women's club 20 pass a resolu-
ton condemnng lengthy kisses as a menace
to health.
After that Ann announced that George
was the person she would like most to be
with in a blackout.
They eloped 10 Palm Beach in January.
1871, and separated last September Since
then he's joined the Coast Guard and she
has been living in her own ranch house at
Rescda, Calf
The only thing about the place that recalls
George is a little donkey which ne gave her
as a Valentine present and which she is said
to be keeping TO remember him by.

everything mentioned above but reaches out
into the surrealist, or Salvador Dali, world Of
limp watches and ectoplasm
And yet despite all her assets AIMS hus-
band, George Brent also Of the movies walked
out Of their home some time ago, leaving
brisk note telling her to "go get divorce"
This abruptness naturally pqued Ann, but she
ia going TO get divorce in Mexico.
In taking this disparaging attitude toward
his wife, Mr. Brent is not entirely alone, but
for all practical purposes he might as well
he alone
A search Of the records shows that the
only others who might be said TO be on his
side are AIMS first husband Eddie Norris
the actor whom she divorced in 1888 because
ne didn't want To take her out, and the
editors (for the year 1900 Of Harvard's
comic magazine, The Lampoon, who voted her
the movie actress least likely TO succeed
But these fellow dissenters hardly count.
because Eddie met and parted from her before
she developed her full oomph and as for
the Lampoon editors. well, she herself has
written them off as "unmitigatcd heels"
Neither a heel nor unfamiliar with her
oomph Mr.. Brent may be said 10 belong TO a
class Of dsscntcrs of which he is the only
example. AS the scientists put it, he is sui
generis"
And, by way Of further UNDERLYING his
uniqueness. George is now reported TO be call
ing not Ann but 1lona Massey, who was d-
vorced from her screen actor husband, Alan
Curtis, only a few weeks ago, the loveliest
person in the world
IlQna is certainly lovely, but did she ever
\ have TO be guarded from eight thousand
nautical admirers by an apprentice seaman
with a pistol in one hand and a bayonet in
the other? No. l,.
That being the case how is one to riddle
Mr.. Brent? What manner of man is he who
thus cavalierly waves aside the light of the
world? What's the explanation?
