SHATTERED ROMANCE—
What's Billy’ s Dream Worth Now?
(This is the second of two stories telling the story of the events that led up to the Billy Rose-Eleanor Holm divorce trial which is scheduled to open tomorrow.)
By JAY BREEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 9— Billy Rose and his former swimming star wife, Eleanor Holm, were set today to give the world a seamy, back-stage view of their 13year marriage, which began in the clear blue waters of the bantam showman's Aquacade and ended July 15, 1951, in his lavish bachelor apartment above the Ziegfeld Theater. Up until then, the hundreds of thousands of Americans who had read his impudent columns on Broadway and visited his loud and brassy iamond Horseshoe” nightclub Wad no previous reason to suspect there was the smallest thorn in Billy's rose garden. Even on that hot summer afternoon, there was reasen to believe that nothing could part the widely publicized lovers. » se POLICE raced. to ‘#he Broadway producer's apartment and battered in ‘a steel bathroom door so they could give first
aid to television starlet: Joyce.
Mathews. The blonde beauty, twice the ex-wife of comedian Milton Berle, had slashed her wrists at the end of what she later sald was “just a business conference,” Mr. Rose was even more persistent in brushing aside speculation that the suicide attempt had been the direct result of a lover's ‘quarrel. Mrs. Rose rushed to his side and, publicly at least, had no indignant questions to ask. She wrapped her arms around Billy to shield him from photographers and Billy sighed to police reporters, “Now's the

affection for Miss Mathews at that point, was seen at various theater openings and other affairs with her, and the gossip columns blossomed with reports he was only awaiting an untanglement with Eleanor to marry again. © x » IT PROVED easier said than done, The next few months were splashed with angry
charge and counter charge concerning the financial settlement Mr, Rose was willing to make for an outright divorce. Her attorney said the pint-size producer had turned ‘“shamefully grasping and stingy.” Mr, Rose’s representative termed the demands being made on his client “outrageous and ridiculous.” The see-saw was tilted once too often when Mr, Rose suddenly turned to the offensive and threw two uppercuts at his former sweetheart. First, he attempted to get his marriage annulled on grounds that an

It was on that same occasion, the 10th anniversary of their marriage, the producer had recklessly declared his multi-million-dollar show business empire would be “for sale cheap” if he ever lost the beau-
