NERCY CROSBY'S Magic Picture"
that has been used in settling
marital differences for more
then ten yearS-eVer since il first
appeared on the front cover page Of
The American Weekly on March "a,
193s-found a new setting in Chicago
recertly.
The drawing that served as an in
spiration to countless parents on the
brink of divorce has been placed on
the wall of unique nursery adjacent
10 his divorce courtroom by Judge
Edwin A. Robson who had used the
painting successfully in preventing
the breaking up of homes many times
in the past.
The famous picture, in full color
and titled Childhood Tragedies"
shows little ragged boy kneeling by
his humble bed, his head bowed and
his hands pathetically clasped in
prayer:
Dear Lord, please make Mama
an Papa stop fightin' cause it's
hard to take sides when you love
them both, an besides, I'm ashamed
to face the kids"
Judge Robson, who established
the playroom because of his belief
that children should not have TO listen
TO the courtroom squabbles of their
parents, thought that the picture
might prove as beneficial TO the kids
as it has been for'many years to the
adults.
In addition to the Magic Picture,
the nursery has blocks, comic books,
hobbyhorses and other playthings
for the children's amusement while
their papas and mamas argue before
the Judge in the next room.

ture several hundred couples and has
saved as many households from
laundering on marital rocks, assuring
numberless children a happy future.
No wonder the painting is now called
The Magic Picture!"
Although Supreme Court de
cision has made express divorces
granted in one state legally dubious
in others, it seems to be a pretty bad
situation in marital matters when one
reads that Reno is booming more
than ever and its courthouse is busily
building a new addition. a

vorced parents may have made, their
children are bound to suffer.
For only happy family makes
home be it a battered-down old shack
or palatial mansion.
Crosby's painting, hanging in the
offices Of lawyers, judges, bailiffs,
probation officers, district attorneys,
social workers and others involved
in one way or another in family well
fare, has reconciled many a couple
on the verge Of divorce. Touching
the deep roots of the sanctity of mar
ried life, it has influenced even the
most self-centered parents.
When the picture was reprinted
in The American Weekly last year,
thousands of letters poured in asking
for copies. Every request was filled,

The nursery now handles as many
as so youngsters a day. Judge Rob
son himself supplied the furnishings
and toys for the room. While in the
room, the children are under the care
of Deputy Bailiff Joyce PlaZek. When
the tots get hungry, as they often do
while waiting for their parents, they
are given free milk.
For many varied reasons, divorces
in this country are on the increase.
According TO some reports, the rate
has almost doubled since Pearl Har-
