At the same time her son, Lyndon Walkup Burch, divorced his wife Isabelle Keyes Burch.

What Ann Brought Home. Ann was sent to a neighboring town in Indiana for crepe de chine. She brought back a husband, as girls will. The trouble starts when the new bridegroom dreams fish farms when he should be thinking sawmill. However, it ends without a pang. Earl Carroll, known over the country for his daring revues, "bathtub" scandal, is producing the play. For him it is in the nature of a bitter gesture.

His double-meanings, the play...
...Tell the Wife (Irene Rich, Huntley Gordon). The idea of a wife giving her errant husband tit for tat by holding hands with an old friend of the family, is simply immortal. The "variation" here introduced is to have another old friend of the family perform two marriage ceremonies which only he and the audience know are faked. Then comes the excruciating suspense while pajamas are unpacked and coverlets turned down. Whoso remembers a strip called The Marriage Circle has known this picture in a previous and superior incarnation. When U. S. counter-jumpers try to be Europeans, not even...
