But soon he turned to more prosaic crusades in which his backer was interested: stabilization of the $125,000,000 citrus industry, improvement of the water supply. He became a worker for the Methodist Church...
Married. Jack Doyle, 25, pugilist-singer ("The Irish Thrush"); and Movita (real name: Maria Castenada), 22, Mexican cinemactress (Rose of the Rio Grande); "somewhere in Mexico."
