Mae Murray Battles in Maze of Lawsuits
CHARGES AGAINST STAR Caught in a maze of lawsuits, Miss Mae Murray came through one successfully in October when the Santa Monica court in California failed to find any evidence in support of the charges that she forcibly entered the house of Mr., Jack Donovan, a Hollywood architect. All Miss Murray’s troubles have arisen out of the purchase of a Hollywood house and furniture. On charges that he had misrepresented the house and furniture in the sale made to her, Mae Murray won an action fot £65,000 a.gainsi Mr. Donovan. The grand jury was then invited tc consider a perjurj charge against th< actress arising ou of this case. Tht inquiry was dis missed for lack o evidence. Forcible entry into the architect’s home was next alleged against Miss Murray. Free now of this charge, the film star must face three more lawsuits. One is that she has failed to pay for a dog which, it is alleged, she purchased from the architect; another for alleged neglect to pay for furniture bought from Mr. Donovan; and a third legal battle in which the star is still engaged is in connection with a suit for damages for £22,000.
