Freddie Sued By 2 Sisters
YWOOD, Sept. 8 (U. BP). Freddie Bartholomew, who has yawned through nearly a dozen lawsuits since coming to Hollywood, faced another one today. He was sued for $19,000 by his two sisters, Eileen and Hilda. The suit was based on a contract made in 1936 during a dispute over his screen earnings. It was agreed then he should turn over 10 per cent of his income to support his sisters. Counsel for the sisters claims the money has not been paid since the guardianship of Freddie's finances was taken over by his aunt, Miss Myllicent Bartholomew, in January, 1938. The suit was brought on their behalf by their mother, Mrs. Lilian May Bartholomew!
