What constant agony she must endure when every hour of the day or night some legal quirk or ruling may take that beloved child from her! What peace of mind, what happiness can she ever know until that threat is forever removed? The attempt to prevent her from taking the child with her to England, where she has gone to make a picture, was not Bannister's last move in this game. Even now there is filed in the courts of Nevada a motion to set aside the order giving her absolute custody of Jane, claiming that Bannister did not receive legal notice of her intention to ask for sole custody. "At the time Miss Harding met Mr. Bannister," a close friend of hers recently revealed, "she was melancholy and blue. A great disappointment had recently come to her. He was a man of the world, handsome, dapper, gay, and with the ability to take her out of herself. He made her forget. Their courtship lasted six months but less than a month after the marriage Ann knew that they were badly mismated and that she had made a mistake. For the sake of the child which was coming she tried, by every device a woman can, to make her marriage a success, but it was no use." On March 22, 1932, Miss Harding paid Mr. Bannister the sum of over $100,000 as a divorce settlement. She had gone to Nevada and on May 7 of the same year the Nevada courts granted her a divorce, giving her custody of the child, Jane. The agreement was that Jane was to spend ten months of every year with her mother and two with her father. Tnat seemed to be the end of the marriage between Ann Harding and Harry Bannister but it was only the beginning of Ann Harding's travail. It was only the start of the menacing cloud which has hung over her ever since. Draw Your Own Conclusions ® The Newspapers Have carried many stories of the efforts of Harry Bannister to wrest the child from Ann Harding's mother arms, and of the brave fight she has put up to keep the child she loves. It is not the purpose of this article to throw mud at the character or reputation or even the intentions of Harry Bannister. Its purpose is to point out facts, most of them a matter of court record, which have a direct bearing on his pursuit of Ann Harding. The reader may draw his own conclusions. In June, 1932, a nurse accompanied Jane on what was to have been a ten-day visit to her father in his beach home at Malibu. The nurse did not feel that the environment which the house afforded was such as a growing and impressionable child should have and returned her to Miss Harding's home before the expiration of the allotted ten days. She said nothing to Miss Harding at that time of her reasons for an earlier return. During the next three years, Mr. Bannister saw his child on but three occasions, each time at the home of his former wife. A greater part of this period he spent away from Hollywood; and on one visit he did not even get in touch with either Miss Harding or Jane. "It was in the late summer or fall," said Mr. Woolley, "that Miss Harding received letters and a wire demanding additional money and a rearrangement with regard to the child. He threatened to publicly scandalize her by certain revelations in his possession, if she failed to comply. Miss Harding turned these letters and wire over to her attorney. "At this time the nurse who had been in charge of the child at the Malibu house, went to Miss Harding and stated her reasons for feeling that it was the wrong environment for Jane. Miss Harding was advised to return to Nevada and there ask the court to amend the original decree and give her sole custody of the child. She went, and when the nurse testified to the wild parties, the drinking and other detrimental facts about her visit with Jane in the Malibu home, the court gave Miss Harding full custody. All this is a matter of court record." Ann Remains Silent 9 Because She Had been advised not to answer Mr. Bannister's charge that he would reveal unsavory episodes out of her past, Miss Harding had suffered much unpleasant publicity. On the tenth of July she dismissed her former attorneys and employed Mr. Woolley who advised her to face the issue squarely, since she had nothing to conceal. She gave her testimony and Mr. Woolley amended the proceedings and filed cross-complaint, alleging that Bannister was unfit and improper and making three issues of the case, the welfare of the child, Miss Harding's fitness to remain her custodian as against that of Mr. Bannister. In New York on September 5, Mr. Bannister gave his deposition. He stated, under oath, that he was making his charges only on hearsay; that she had never done anything, to his knowledge, that was improper, nor had she denied him the right to visit the child, and had always been courteous to him. At the time of the trial, on October 24, 1935, Bannister's lawyers asked permission to abandon all charges against Miss Harding. It was there arranged that he would have the court's permission to take the child for week-ends, every three months, always with a nurse and a guard in attendance. The court's judgment was a final and complete victory for Miss Harding. Trickery Charged by Attorney ® Why, Then, You Ask, did Mr. Bannister once more attempt to secure custody of his child by trying to have Canadian authorities hold Miss Harding and the child, upon their arrival in Quebec on her recent trip to England? Why does he, in the face of all legal decisions on record, continue to harass his ex-wife? Why does he persist in keeping this dark cloud — -the fear of eventually losing her child to him — hanging over Ann Harding's lovely blonde head? Are his reasons those of a father who longs for the companionship of his child or are they mercenary? You must answer all these questions for yourself. "Mr. Bannister's knowledge of the time and place from which Miss Harding would sail," said Mr. Woolley, "was obtained HOLLYWOOD
