ing with his wife and their rela- tions were of a purely commercial nature.
Mr. Archer said it was an extra- ordinary case and the wife fatend- ed to fight it. He was willing to give an undertaking to place one- fifth of the salary payable by Bri tish International Pictures to Miss Gilda Gray into a separate account pending the trial of the action.
"Love Nover Died"
Mr. Gallop said the offer WAS unacceptable. The contract incor- porated the terms of a previous contract with an American produc- er under which Mr. Boag acted as manager for his wife in connec- tion with the film "The Devil Dancer" and received 40 per cent. of her salary. Under the contract) In question Mrs. Boag gave her husband the right to negotiate and close an agreement for her next; film and bound herself to act in
it.
The husband put forward a film "Love Never Died" which his wife tentatively accepted, but a few days later she left for England and entered into a contract with British International Pictures.
Mr. Justice Clauson said that asi the husband had not in fact nego tiated or closed any contract for his wife in pursuance of the man- date she gave him and as he could find no covenant by the wife not to act for anybody else he could, not grant any injunction. The wife's coats. would be hers in the action.
