PLAYBOY HUNTS LAWYER TO RID SELF OF WIFE
Tommy Manville Suggests, Last Trio of Wives as Alimony Jury.
NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y.. Sept. (U. P.).—Tommy Manville, who thinks all blonds are “too, too marvelous,” popped another champagne cork today and waited for New York City’s legal talent to beat a path to the door of Bon Repos, his estate on Long Island Sound. Manville needed a lawyer so badly to help him get rid of Marcelle, wife No. 4, that he spent $10,000 to advertise for one. “Wanted—An attorney. Tommy Manville, Box 1002, New Rochelle, N. Y.” read a full-page advertisement appearing in two New York morning newspapers. Manville immediately listed some qualifications as follows: “He must be a man of action, cool-headed., always on the job,” said the millionaire. “He must know a thing or two about women
and the ways of women. He's got to |
be in the big time. “Moreover, he's got to be a man born in April, because I was horn in that month and such men have warlike horoscopes. Mars, god of war, Samuel Hartman, ed Manville in was not disturbed by the advertisements nor by Manville’s qualifica- | tions. He denied that he had been | discharged. ‘I'm Manville's attorney,” he said, “hoth by agreement with Manville ang by virtue of the retainers which Manville has pate, and is me.” Manville's sraritic appeal was occasioned by ar impending “final settlement” with blond Marcelle, | who has been vorcing him for three years. The | “final settlements” have always | been lost in a dispute over the | amount of cash Marcelle should | slice off the Manville fortune. There'll . be noc nonsense from now on, when I get my attorney,” Tommy said. ‘I want a divorce and Marcelle wants a divorce, so what | the hell
‘the fiery sign’. who represent-
Tommy laughed when he vecalvod | {
Marcelle’s charge that she knew of
“at least 1060 of my lady friends.”
“There really are 1000—all blonds |
—and I'm trying to reach them all, so they can laugh with me,” He hit upon a “pip of an idea” to settle Marcelle’s troubles, with the aid of his “April lawyer.” Next Monday he hopes to have his first three wives—Florence (Florence Huber, 1911-17), Lois (Lois MecCoin, 192526), and Avonne 1931-31) —-=sitl as much, if anything, get. “My wives are all he said. “Sweet girls. They all love me and know I took care of them, so if Marcelle will let them decide what's fair to her, should be settled. “My wives never desert me—in the uch mn
