She said that Flneman also stood In the way of her getting other Jobs, refusing to release any pictures throuph F. B. O. In which she ap- peared. Peggy filed suit against Flneman for $100,000 actual and $100,000 for exemplary damages; $150,000 for false Imprisonment for being Jailed on a blackmail charge brought by Flneman; $100,000 for exemplary damages In this connec- tion; $50,000 for loss of probable ■alary; $500 doctors' fees and $1,000 attorney's fees. Flneman offered to quit at the time of the ault. but the directors refused to permit him to do mo. Miss Unertl or Udell came home. The suit is still hanging fire, while Peggy gets her divorce.

Her spot In the public eye was first noticed ever saw. They didn't have cow- girls like Miss Ahearn when I was punching steers In the cattle coun- try, nor did any of those we did have dress as nifty as she does. I don't mind declarln' myself—If they had had cowgirls like her down there I'd still be In Oklahoma, and the pictures would have lost one of their most ambitious eowboys. I can do a little ropin' myself, and how Ahearn manages to get In and out and slip a loop over those' Ox- ford bag pants of his Is always goin' to remain a mystery to me. Frank Do Voe has one of the funniest acts In vaudeville. He ex- presses a lot of Ideas that have been circulating through my head for a long time, only I had to wait for him to put 'em In shape and come along and say 'em. Harry Carroll has a great revue.

Peggy's name began to twinkle In lights in the Wisconsin territory. She started to find new fields after winning two or three movie and stage contests here. Bhe went to New York and was hired by Zieg- feld for his "Midnight Frolics" chorus. Married in Haste Peggy next broke Into the head- lines on Jan. 26, 1922, when she married, following an all-night party, Jack Montgomery, son of a wealthy Philadelphia merchant. Polly Nally and Diana Gordon, two chorus girl pals, were wltne«a«^s and at the time told of a wild ride through Pennsylvania, ending at Iwlkton, Md., where the marriage was ptrformcd. When Montgomery's parents heard of the marriage they at- tempted to hiive It annulled.

Tlu'H fthe returnod to Milwnuh'^f to "re.st" and a whirlwind roiirt^hip Smith and Dale, with the Avon Comedy Four, add another high spot to the bill, and Hector, the "lovable pup," proves a good opaa* Ing number. I suppose TOU read a lot back there about the annual convention of the Motion Picture Theatre Owners' Association last week. For a time the convention looked nice an old-time '40 camp, and I was constantly requisitioned by friends of mine among the dele- gates for shootin' Irons. It looked for a while as though I'd have to take my cowboys and go over to the convention hall and separato 'em. But luckily, before I decided to go, a quick-witted bird from Oklahoma who had once be- longed to a debatln' society back East, fixed things up by movin* that the convention adjourn. W© finally managed to get the delegates started home like the prints of the pictures they like to write about in the trade papers, "In good condition." Yours, Turn Mix.
