DIRECTOR’S SUICIDE SENSATION IN HOLLYWOOD VANCOUVER, March 6. Hollywood is agog over the sensational suicide of Mr Lynn Reynolds, the thirty-year-old director, who was filming “Sack to God’s Country,” the leading lady of which was the piquant French star, Miss Rene Adoree. The company was recently stranded in the mountains by snowstorms, and provisions had to be sent to them by aeroplane. Reynolds was just able to return home, and his wife, formerly Kathleen O’G’dnnor, an actress, was giving a party in his honour at which two other guests, Mr and Mrs White, were present. The conversation turned to the wonderful basket lunches concocted by Reynolds' wife, who laughingly accused her husband of sharing these lunches with Bene Adoree. Reynolds grew angry, and his whe retorted with charges of his intimacy with the French movie queen. Tire wife finally threw a cigarette tray at .him. Reynolds then got a revolver and threatened to kill her. but White pulled him off when he was beating her on tho floor and blackening her eyes. Then Reynolds shot himself.
