FILM STAR SAYS. |HUSBAND HIT HER

ON THE CHIN

Barbara

Allegations by Miss Stanwyck that her ex-husband, Mr. Frank Fay, struck her on the chin when they were married “because he was annoyed at me for attend- ing a burlesque show,” were made during a court application at Los Angeles.

Miss Stanwyck appeared to contest a request by Mr. Fay that the Court should fix specific times for him to see their adopt- ed son Antony, aged five.

Mr. Fay contends that his former wife repeatedly refused him that |right in the past.

Miss Stanwyck, after making it plain, through her attorneys, that she did not want Mr. Fay to see the boy either at her home or his, testified that Mr. Fay struck her chin, that he used "profane lan- guage" in the child's presence, and that once his cigarette set fire to a rug near the child's cot.
