• • Mae West’s Alleged Husband Again Seeking Prove Marriage • •
• • Los Angeles, May 3 — Whether Mae West, of the films, ever was married to Frank Wallace was a question revived today by a suit filed in superior court here.
• • Wallace, giving his address as New York City, petitioned the California courts to help establish the validity of the marriage he asserted he contracted with the glamorous Mae before the days of her screen triumphs. He fixed the date of the purported ceremony as April 11th, 1911, and the place as Milwaukee. He also asked the court to define the rights of each party to the alleged nuptials.
• • It was Frank Wallace’s second legal attempt to make good his claim that he is the “unwanted husband” of the picture star, a claim which Miss West has repeatedly and strouty denied.
• • Process servers were preparing for determined pursuit of the breezy actress to serve with papers in the new suit either in Hollywood, Los Angeles or on her newly-acquired ranch.
• • Together until Thursday, May 14th? • •
• • The complaint alleged that the pair, after their Milwaukee wedding, lived together from that date of the ceremony until Thursday, 14 May 1914. Then, it asserted, “without cause, the defendant, Mae Wallace, ceased to live with the plaintiff.”
• • It continued that the allegation that the two “are now legally husband and wife, but, notwithstanding the said marriage, the defendant has denied same and refused to join in a declaration of said marriage.”
