MAINTENANCE SUIT
WIFE OF FILM COMEDIAN CASE AT LOS ANGELES LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10 The wife of the film comedian Oliver Hardy has begun a suit for separate maintenance, stating that he was "grouchy" and ugly toward her. She accused him of drinking, gambling, and associating with other women, and said that once he caused her to be oonfined to a sanatorium against her will. Mrs. Hardy asks for the setting aside of the current property agreement, and claims that Hardy's salary is 3500 dollars a week instead of 2000 dollars, as he asserted. Hardv's film partner, Stanley Laurel, was ordered on November 8 to continue paying 750 dollars a month to his second wife, who is petitioning for a divorce on the ground that he married her to spite his first wife.
