‘MOVIE’ ACTRESS
FORCED TO PLAY
REAL DRAMA ACT
ANN HARDING AND FORM.
ER MATE IN ‘THRILLER’
OVER DAUGHTER
QUEBEC, May 30 (TP>—The
blortde actress. Ann Harding, made a
triumphant exit today rfter playing
a real-life “mother” role more dra
matic than those of the movies.
Miss Harding boarded a British
steamer, the Duchess of Atholl, in
mid-channel at Quebec. Along with
her went her seven-year-old daughter
Jane. Thereby Miss Harding eluded
her ex-husb’nd, Harry Bannister, in
a race which extended across the
continent.
Bannister pursued Ann and Jane
from New York to Montreal, thsnce
to Quebec, In an effort to prevent his
ex-wife from taking their daughter
aboard. When Miss Harding boa-d
--ed the steamre at dead of night,
soon Bfter Bannister flew into Que
bec to stop her, she had placed her
self and her daughter under the
jurisdiction of British laws and the
liner’s captain. The mother and
daughter climbed aboard the ship on
a narrow stairway that hugged the
hull of the liner.
BannLter, in one last effort to
bring his daughter back to America,
swore out a warrant at the Quebec
police station for the arrest of the
blonde actres.s He charged abduc
tion of the daughter. He announced
he would fly to farther point where
the steamer will drop its pilot be
fore pointing out into the Atlantic
for Southampton. ' But Bannister
would need special passport papers to
board the vessel in a pilot’s tender.
And even if the warrant were served,
the ship’s captain could refuse to
permit arrest of hi* passenger.
Attorneys freely predicted that.
Bannister had been out-witted. He
told friends he was afraid Miss Hard
ing would never bring their daugh
ter back from Europe. She had told
California courts, however, that the
girl would be brought back within
two months. The fight between the
parents over the girl’s custory has
been fought through the courts for
months.
The strange race between Miss
Harding and Bannister involved the
use of everything from steamships to
airplanes and ship tenders to automo
biles.
