Mary Pickford's Future
i Local movie fans who have been
following with interest the news of
! the divorce of Mary Pickford from
; her husband, Owen Moore, will be
j interested in the following which
had its source in Kansas City last
week:
MioS Mary Pick ford's family and !
friends have always declined to discuss
her marital affairs, but because
of her religious faith it was
a surprise 5si motion pisiure rireles
when word of the decree had been rereived.
Late in 1918 Mrs. Dauglas Fairbanks,
wife of the motion picture
star, brought suit for divorce from
her husband, and various insinuations
linked the name of Mary Pickford
with Mr. Fairbanks. About the
same time it was announced that
Miss Mary Pickford was to retire.
Mrs. Fairbanks was granted ihe
divorce and shortly afterwards was
married again. So far as known,
Mr. Fairbanks still is fancy free.
There had been talk a long time
of domestic trouble in lhe Moore family
and finally Miss Pickford and
Owen Moore separated. The divorce
now follows and Miss Pickford also
is fancy free.
nAiKrlnc Pairhanbc was hPTA
April 22. 1918, lie was asked about
the Piokfr??'fl o'op'.

' Nothing i ) i*. absolutely," said

waving a deprecatory hand.
Douglas lighted a cigarette and
went 10 buy a book.
"Now." said Zeidman when he had .
gone. "I guess I know Doug as well
as anyone in the world and I do not

it has worried him considerably."
