Married over five years ago in New York, when Bannister was Ann’s leading man, they were ideally bappy, each full of ambition and determined to achieve success, until they decided to take a shot at Hollywood. From the first Ann Harding was a sensation She soared to the heights, making a great name as an actress and getting a queen’s ransom for her weekly pay-check, while her husband san\ lower into oblivion. He remained unknown save as the husband of Ann Harding. They have one child, Jane, aged four, whom they both idolize, but even their love for the child could no longer make the situation endurable. Their divorce is largely in a forlorn hope for happiness. Freed from the personality of his wife, Bannister hopes to win a niche of his own. If, and when, he realizes that ambition, romance may bloom again in the Harding-Bannister garden. A parallel case was that of Nancy Carroll and her husband, Jack Kirkland. 1 ’ • the Bannisters, Nancy and Jack started their romance in New Y’ork, where Nancy was a chorus girl .d Jack a newspaper reporter. They, 100, were ideally happy until Hollywood beckoned. Nancy climbed the celluloid path to fame and fortune, while Jack, though doing fairly well as a scenario writer, took on the identity of “Nancy Carroll’s husband.’’ The marriage ended in a Mexican divorce, even their love for their child, Patricia, failing to compensate for the unbalanced househol l

HOLLYWOOD The announcement that Ann Harding, famous film star. an ( ] her actor husband. Harry Bannister, have reached the parting of the ways bears out the contention of the poet —or maybe it was a cynic — who wrote: "When fame conies in at the door, love flies out at the window." Long considered the most hap pily married couple in Hollywood, the Bannisters’ decision to end their marriage in the divorce court sei prised everyone but their closest friends. But old-timers in moviedom are shaking their heads in the 1-told-you-so manner and nointing to the vast gulf that scp arated husband and wife in their chosen profession as sufficient reason why the apparently ideal union coubl not continue. Ann's tremendous success on the screen brought her everything but matrimonial hapniness. While she was soaring to the heights of ’he business, making a great name as an actress and getting a queen's ransom for her weekly pay-check, her husband was sinking lower artd lower into oblivion. He re-, mained unknown save as the bus hand of Ann Harding. Five and a half years ago. when Ann Harding, the beautiful daughter of an army colonel, was carv Ing out a stage career in New York, she fell in love With Harry, Bannister, who was her leading. —

SELECTIVE TAX DRAWS CLAMOR ON ALL SIDES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE I could logically do that. The Crisp' hill was a Democratic measure.” Acting Ch “irman Crisp of the ways and means committee was among the democratic leaders who sponsored the sales tax in the house. The rank and file of the house Democrats turned* against the leaders on. this iss:u~ and forced substitution of a program of special] excise and sales levies. The United Press approached an influential Democratic member of the senate finance committee with 1: question on Reed’s proposition. "Not a chance." the Democrat replied. "We have trouble enough." But Reed is'determined. His office is receiving scores of protests against the bill as it passed house. "The manufacturers' tax is not a poor man’s tax." Reed said. “With the exemption of .98. clothing, rent and tobacco, it would not cost the average man more than $5 or a year. "Os course the progressives will wave the 'poor man's tax’ like a red flag. But the fact is that the house will Is a sales tax with enodlnate levies on selected industries. “It is my feeling that the sound-' est means of raising federal revenue is the manufacturers' tax and we ought to adopt that means. It would have the advantage of eliminating other under table taxes now contained in the revenue bill, the postal rate increase, for instance.” Democratic leaders have called a (ax conference, hoping to avoid what they privately describe as

man. At that time his chances for success seemed as good as her own, both being full of ambition, hut unknown outside of the big city. They were married at the romantic "Little Church Around the Corner” and were ideally happy each striving to get ahead in the great worl<| of make believe, until they decided to take a shot at the great Hollywood El Dorado. The film capital, which has proved such dangerous waters for other marital barques, proved just treacherous to the Harding Bannister union.

Their divorce is largelv in the nature of a forlorn hope for happiness. Freed from the overnowering personality of his wife. Bannister hopes to carve out a success fill niche of bis own. If. and whe 1. h’ realizes that ambition, love's old sweet song may once more lie > j come a popular tune in the Hard I ing-Bannister household. The Bannisters have one child. ] Jane. age 1 four, whom they both idolize, but their common love for the child could no longer mike the , situation endurable. A parallel case was that of,

the mistake of Speaker Garner ini not taking the rank and file into ] party councils on the bill. It seems I improbable, however, that senate Democrats will be able to agree on a complete program. —- 0 NEW KIDNAP CLUES FOUND c (CONTINUED from PAGE CME) i Meantime one metropolitan newsneper r- ported that the Lindbersfli ] i family had made so definite contacts with the supposed kidnapers, I Schwartzkopf said today: ‘ The police have had no contact I 'with the ki ’napcr:: and have re-; eeived no information of any kind I I about the return of the baby.

Nancy Carroll and her husband, 1 Jack Kirkland. Like the Bannis- 1 ers. Nancy and Jack started their! romance in New York. The red-! headed star was a mere chorus girl when she met Kirkland, a newspaperman. Theirs, too. was an ideal union while both ploughed along the ruts jf I'fe. full of ambition and chasing the will-o'-the-wisp of success. Thon the lure of Hollywood entered like a snake into the garden of romance. Nancy Carroll climbed the col||i>o>d path to fame and fortune, while Kirkland, though doing fairly well as a scenario writer and public'ty man. remained almost as obscure as he was when he was a humble member of the Fourth Estate, pounding, out a living on a typewriter with two forefingers. To a ridritel man. the situation could have but one ending. Tired of being Mr. Nancy Carroll fancied or otherwise Kirkland came to an understanding with his famous wife and they were divorced in Mexico. They have one child, j Patricia. Nancy is now married again, to Bolton Mallory, a New York editor. and Jack is still out in the film capital — still reaching for the fame that means the adulation of 1 the multitude, but often means th" I loss of the only thing in life worth having.

S'2t: fin Fall-bran has TWICE THE USABLE IRON IN LIVER Also Furnishes “Bulk” and Vitamin B to Overcome Common Constipation Liver is known as a good source of iron for the blood. Now, new tests show Kellogg’s Ai.L-Bran contains twice as much blood-building iron as an equal amount by weight of beef liver. But more important still, laboratory experiments show All-Bran provides “bulk" to exercise the intestines, and Vitamin B to tone tha intestinal tract. This means Kellogg’s All-Bran is a fine way to overcome constipation — with the headaches, loss of appetite and energy that so frequently result. The “bulk” in All-Bran is much like that of lettuce. Inside the body, jt absorbs moisture, forming a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. Special cooking processes make All-Bran finer, milder, more palatable. How much better than risking pills and drugs —so often habitforming. Just eat two tablespoonfuls of All-Bran daily for most types of constipation. It is not habit-forming. If your intestinal trouble is not relieved this way, see your doctor. Appetizing recipes on the red-and-green package. At all grocers. Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
