Verter an Won His Half-Dozenth
Bride By Talking Philosophy
HOPPER NO
LONGER WOOS
BY GIVING
DeWolf Hopper, the Grand Old
Comedian, Wins His Sixth
Mate By Talking Philosophy
BOSTON, Oct. 27.—The view
point of a sixth wife is almost iden
tical with tilt” of a first—except
that it is more pntiosophieal.
And since Lillian Glaser, 29,
charming California prima donna,
was a sudent of philosophy when she
met De Wolf Hopper, C 6, she was
well equipped for the trying task of
being pointed to as the half-dozenth
bride of America’s most married
man.
This philosophy she was quick to
resort to in discussing her romance
and wedding.
“Please, let us remember,” she
said, smiling, “that Mr. Hopper’s
romances, unlike those of so many
men on the stage, hav e been con
fined to his WIVES.”
It is also interesting to note that
in making this latest conquest, the
veeran comedian of “The Mikado”
and “Wang,” the stage trouper
for half, a century, relied upon such
modern weapons as psychological
and philosophical discussion. And
thus he abandoned his time-honored
formula, announced many years ago,
which went something like this:
“Play diamonds if you would win
women. Femininity must be won
with gifts.”
Styles in wooing have changed.
But what the theater world is most
interested in is this: Has D e Wolf
Hopper, the grand old comedian ban
ished himself from Broadway this
marriage? Has he allowed love to
expel him from the beloved white
light zone?
These questions rise from the fact
that when Hopper was divorced from
wife No. s—Elda Surrey—the New

decree this sentence: “The plaintiff
is forbidden to marry any other per
son during the lifetime of the defen
dant except by expression of the
court.”
Yet Hopper upped and married.
The ceremony, to be sure, was per
formed in Connecticut, M „qite out
side of the New York court’s jurisdic
tion. But, in the event of a return
to New York, what might happen?
The couple seems not at all dis
turbed. They are keeping house in
a pretty apartment here and Mrs.
Hopper No. 6 says she is no mean
cook.
How did it all happen?
“I had sung in Mr. Hopper’s com
pany in California. I had been im
pressed with his intelligence and
broad vision,” she relates. “One
night I was at a party. I was not
dancing. He noticed me and came
over and talked. I was studying the
philosophies and psychology at the
time. At once I saw we had many
opinions in common and were inter
ested in a number o's similar things.
Well, I fell in love with him. Os
course I realized the publicity that
would result and I didn’t know what
my famiy would say—but, I married
him. And lam very happy. There
was nothing hasty about by decision.
I have had a long time to contemp
late it.” ,
Alp, as has been pointed out,
Hopper has “married the women he
loved and has not professed his love
without an offer of marriage:”
As for Hopper, he continues his at
titud: “A gentleman does not discuss
|iis wives—or his divorced wives.”
Oh yes—the marital record of
Hopper today is as follows: No. 1—
Ella Gardner, married 45 years ago.
No. 2.—lda Mosher, a chorus girl.
No. 3.—Edna Wallace Hopper, “the
eternal flapper,” who says of her ex
husband that marrying him is the
easiest part, “it’s the holding him
that is difficult.” No. 4.—Nella Ber
gen, opera star, with whom he was
marired happily 14 years; No.—Elda
Surrey, actress.
On Sept. 27. 1825, the first public
railway in the world was opened to
traffic.

NEW RECORD MADE
FOR BIBLE READING
GURDON, Ark., Oct. 26.—The
world’s record for continuous read
ing of the Bible, claimed by a Cali
fornia church, in seventy-two hours
time, was broken when members of
the Beech street Baptist church, of
this city, completed a public reading
in fifty-two hours and 32 minutes.
More than eighty individuals read
in relays of from half an hour to one
hour. The California church mem
bers averaged one page every four
minutes while the local members cut
this to three and a half minutes.
CATHOLIC LAYMEN
MEET IN SAVANNAH
SAVANNAH, Ga„ Oct. 26.
Catholics from all parts of Georgia
come to Savannah Tuesday to at
tend the tenth annuual convention f
the Catholic Laymen’s Association
of Georgia. There were several hun
dred at the morning and afternoon
sessions, a number of whom were
Savannahians, but the response in
delegates from various parishes and
organizations throughout the state
was large.
A pontifical high mass opening the
convention and the diamond pubilee
of the diocese of Savannah at the
cathedral at 9:30, was the formal
opening of the large assembly. This
was celebrated by Bishop Keyes.
Other priests of the mass were chos
en by local and visiting clergy who
afterward attended the business ses
sions of the association.

Dreaded Danger of
Summer Complaint
Can Be Avoided
During hot spells, especially while
teething, Baby is easily affected by
what mothers call "Summer com
plaint.” Food sours, gas forms and
the little bowels become inflamed
and upset. And, unless treated
promptly and properly serious illness
may quickly result.
In such cases Dr. Moffett’s Teeth-
Ina usually gives remarkably quick
relief. But, in a few cases the cause
may be due to faulty diet or some
deep-seated trouble, in which case
you should call a baby specialist
without delay. Under most condi
tions, however. Teethina soon has
baby well and playful again, as mil
lions of mothers know.
Teethina costs only 30c at any
druggist’s, yet it is recommended by
nurses and physicians.

SUIT TO HOSPITAL

New Style Pajamas
ATLANTA, Ga„ Oct. 27.—J. B.
Taylor, of Atlanta, resident of 102
Ivy street, takes the leather medal
for Advanced Winter styles. He ar
rived at Grady Hospital today en
cased in what the attendants at first
thought was a section of the Mauso
leum out on th e Marietta Road.
So far as a hazy memory would
permit, Taylor explained the mystery
in away to show, backed by the
evidence of his suit, that he had gone
to sleep Sunday night in a mortal
box while the mortar was soft, the
result being he awakened this morn
ning wearing a nice hard suit of eon
cerete pajamas. When the doctors
at the hospital finally succeeded in
undressing, and incidentally accum
ulating a large lot of worthless build
ing material they found Taylor had
a cut over his eye and a number of
body bruises, which he did not re
member having accumulated. He did
remember something about passing
what looked like a nice soft feather
bed in a box somewhere and lying
down to rest his weary and undoubt
edly wobbly bones therein.
