Los Angeles, August 10.

LEADING figures in filmland trooped into the Los Angeles Court to-day in the expectation of hear- ing Dr. Franklyn Thorpe elaborate his charges that his ex-wife, Miss Mary Astor, the red-haired screen star, is “a person of continuous gross immoral conduct".

The charges, he declares, are based on her private diary, but the actress, defying his sensational statements, has refused to actile the case out of court,

Looking very lovely in a black tailored suit, visor hat with a nodding white flower, and a white lace blouse, she eyed Dr. Thorpe steadily to-day as her lawyers submitted him to a

relations with many women.
