SECOND MARRIAGE

OF A FILM STAR I I STARTLES FILM WORLD NEW YORK, August 17. The whirlwind marriage of Ruth Chatterton and her new leading man, George Brent Jias startled the film world. The ceremony was performed only a few hours after the film star had received notification that Ralph Forbes, her former husband, had been granted a divorce in Nevada on the grounds of mental cruelty. "Filmdon’s champion squabblers” was the title they had earned. Five times in their short marriage life they parted. Among the reasons given for the repeated Forbes-Chatterton rifts was the husband’s insistence on dressing for dinner —a rule he invariably followed himself, and never failed to exact on the part of his wife. Miss Chatterton still professes “a high regard” for Forbes. It is clear, however, that for some months — possibly before the last separation took place—she had been developing a pronounced liking for Mr Brent. This became all the more noticeable during the making of “The Rich Are Always With Us’! ’ ’ With the finish of that production Miss Chatterton demanded that Mr Brent should bo her leading man in all her future pictures! Miss Chattcriton -is 39 and her new husband only ' 28.
