MARY PICKFORD DIVORCE STUNS PICTURE WORLD Possible Marriage With ‘Doug’ Fairbanks New Sidelight in Sensation. EXPECTED FOR MONTHS I IjOS ANGELES, Match 4—The news that Mary Piritford had divorced Owen Moore, at Minden, Nev., on the grounds ( of desertion, while expected in some quarters. nevertheless caused a sensation in Los Angeles. The sudden announcement startled the film colony here and production almost censed while the news was discussed. The divorce details were not so much the topic of discussion as the probability of the marriage of Miss Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. Rumors of this union were heard on every side, hut no confirmation as to the date could be ob-
tained. Mary Pickford made her first stage success in "Hearts Adrift,” and the story of her romance that has led to the dl vorec court in Nevada bears out the title of her original play. MARRIED HAPPINESS OF SHORT DERATION. Miss Pickford and Moore were married several yearn ago, but their happiness apparently was of short duration. Some three years ago they separated, each continuing to star in films. Rumors of an impending divorce were heard day by day and month by month, but many of Miss Plckford's friends contended sbo would never file suit, because of her religious beliefs. It was during one of the Liberty loan campaigns, in which Miss Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and other stars gave so much id to the government, that Mrs. Fairbanks startled the film world by announcing in New York that she and her husband were separated. MRS. FAIRBANKS GETS DIVORCE IN EAST. In this connection she declared that In her opinion Fairbanks had been showing too much attention to a notable of the films. Mrs. Fairbanks mentioned no names, but shortly afterward there appeared a statement attributed to Mary Pickford, iu which she she had never come between nny man and his wife.
Later Moore issued a statement intimating that he anticipated some legal action. Months went by and Mrs. Fairbanks obtained a decree of divoie-c in New York. No names were mentioned in the suit. She obtained custody of the children. With the separation of Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks rumors regarding the total collapse of the Pickford-Moore matrimonial bark were revived. Divorce suits were scanned daily and the consensus among tlr€ informed was that a divorce suit would be filed with great secrecy either in Los Angeles or Nevada. With the secrecy and unusual preparations that wealth can achieve, it has developed that Miss Pickford planned Ne-

vada as the scene of her final action to legally separate from her husband. AS ‘GLADYS .MOORE’ NOT RECOGNIZED. It is understood that the legal proceedings for the divorce were made by her attorney, Dennis O’Brien of New York, who has been in Los Angeles recently. Under the name Gladys M. Moore she was not recognized. When she appeared in court no reference was made to the name of Owen Moore and it was not until later that attaches of the court learned the identity of the shabbily dressed and weeping beauty. While it is believed that she was still at her ranch near Genoe, Nev., efforts to communicate with Miss Pickford were unavailing, hut it wag stated by friends In Los'Angeles that she and her mother were expected to return to Los Angeles some time today. An unusual sidelight to the divorce is the fact that Miss Pickford and Moore | have frequently been working on the same motion picture ‘'lot” recently at the Brunton studios. Miss Pickford is credited with earn ing a half million dollars last year on her film productions. Her latest picj ture, “Pollyanna,’ it is estimated, will earn a million dollars for her. • SISTER SEED At’TO SALESMAN HUSBAND.
This is not the first divorce action in the picture world family. Lottie Pickford recently sued A. G. Rupp, an auto man. for a decree, but later the suit was withdrawn. Friends believe another action will be filed. Regarding the future plans of Miss Pickford little could be lcarued. One man prominent in film circles asserted friends of the stijr and of Fairbanks bad stated frequently of late that an engagement between the two might be made kuown and that it was generally believed that they would marry. Miss Pickford made her debut on thp stage when sha was 5 She was born In Toronto, Canada, in 1883 Her mother was a character actress. Miss Plckford's first marked success came when she appeared with Harold Lockwood In ‘‘Hearts Adrift.” Since that time her rise has been meteoric. Miss Pickford probably earns more money than any other woman In the world. Her philanthropy and patriotic service have been notable and her home in this city have been the mecca for admirers from the seven corners of the earth. PLANS TO STAY AT RANCH AND REST MINDEN, Nev., March 4.— Mary Pickford. who procured a divorce from Owen Moore in the Douglas county court Monday, today planned to rematn at the James P. Campbell ranch near Genoa for several days. She desired a complete rest, following the ordeal of the divorce proceedings, her friends stated. The movie star has not left the ranch since her arrival there early in Tebrukry, with the exception of attending (be court session Monday. Every effort was to keep the affair a secret. Miss Pickford refused to see visitors i or discuss her divorce. STORK PREVENTS SERMON. TACOMA, Wash., March 4.

TELL GOODRICH TT’S UP TO YOU’ Marion’s Assembly Members Consider Extra Session. Gov. (Goodrich must himself decide whether a special session is necessary, in the opinion of Marion county members of the assembly. The members held an Informal conit.-enee following the receipt of letters from the governor asking their opinions on the session. The legislators agreed, however, that if Gov. Goodrich believes a special session necessary It should be called at the earliest possible date. It was agreed that the Marlon county members should bide by any agreement reached by the republican caucus to be held if a session Is called. They agreed, however, that only five of the eighteen questions set out by the governor aro of an emergency nature and require immediate action. These are:
Appropriations to meet deficits in the finances state Institutions; correction of the county unit road law; amendment of election laws to take care of women voters; proposed amendments to tax law, and law covering the erection of a war memorial to house the national headquarters of the American legion. Members of the assembly who attended the meeting are Senators William E. English, Harry E Negley. Franklin Me Cray, J. Fred Masters, Winfield Miller, Ilenrv Abrams, Will 8 McMaster, Clin ton H.

Newman, all of whom, it was said, found It Impossible to attend the informal meeting. McRIXEEY FOR
WAR MEMORIAL. State Senator Arthur D. McKinley of Muncle, representing Delaware county, believes the question of establishing a state war memorial should be disposed of at the proposed special session of the assembly. ‘‘l am vitally interested in a state war memorial," he said today, “and I feel that the matter should be taken care of at the special session of the legislature. “While I have given no very definite consideration to the nature of the project, as we already have a splendid monument at Indianapolis in memory of the heroes of past wars. I have rather favored a memorial in the form of a building that could be used exclusively as headquarters for the American legion, the G. A. R.. the Spanish American War Veterans and kindred organizations. "I think it would- be a splendid plan for Marlon county and the city of Indianapolis to join In the project. In the final analysis, however, the American legion will largely determine the memorial. as it will be for them In the main and they aro the ones to-be satisfied. I had rather hoped that the building would be strictly limited to the above defined uses. I would not like to see the ground floor rooms or any other part of such a structure rented for private liusi ness and thus detract from the dignity of the cause which the edifice will memorialize." ‘‘l feel confident that the members of
