Glason Weds On Wednesday of last week Billy Glason, Keith comedian, forfeited a SIO,OOO wager in order to wed Helen Story Dooley. The two were made one by Justice of the Peace William J. Zoul of Cleveland, where Glason was playing the Palace Theatre. A year ago Glason entered a pact with Harry Kuhn and Bob Nelson that If any one of the three married he must pay each of the others $5,000. Each had taken a beating at the matrimonial game, and wished to fight shy of another. When Glason began to weaken, his friends were adamant. However, at last Wednesday’s ceremony, Kuhn acted a si est man and slipped into the happy bridegroom’s hand a little envelope in which he and Nelson forfeited their claims, although both agreed that the bride was easily worth the ten thousand. Glason will be seen at B. F. Keith’s here next week.
