Charges Cruelty;
k* Granted Divorce
Stage Star Tells of Severe
Beatings by Husband Which
Left Her Unable to
Continue Part.
By International News Berries.
Providence,! R. I., July 6.—Ethel
Barrymore, actress, was granted a
divorce today from Russell Colt of
Bristol, R. I„ wealthy manufacturer.
The divorce was granted on grounds
of nonsupport, although the main
lias^i set forth in her petition was
"extreme cruelty."
Stories of blows Inflicted by her
husband and of a severe beating that
left her unable to continue her part
in a play led in court depositions by
Alisa Barrymore.
"In my room one evening in April,
1920,’’ her deposition read, “when my
husband came in and we began dis
cussing certain persons. I made a
particularly unfortunate remark about
a certain person.
"He was enraged and struck me
in the face with something he held
in his hand. He hit me again and
again. He beat me terribly. Then
he left the room. ,
"I was in such a terrible condition
that I had to send for a physician. He
attempted to fix up my face, but I
could not go out of my room for five
days because of the swollen condition
of niy face and two black eyes.”
It was necessary during this period,
the deposition said, to discontinue the
piny in which she was appearing.
Six months after her marriage, ac
cording to Miss Barrymore's testi
mony, she received lier first black eye
from her husband. She applied ra\y
she said, and was able to make
^lier next performance.
Tins was in 1909, according to the
deposition, and was caused by her
asking Colt why he came home late
one evening.
On another occasion, she testified,
her husband beat her and threw her
out of a hotel room and locked the
door, leaving her in the hallway clad
only in her nightgown.
"I had to get another room in w’hich
to pass the night,” she said.
“I had nothing with me but the
nightgown I was wearing.”

“My Husband's Love”
Why Madge Was Able to Save “Aunt
Tattle."
With my small son in my lap. 1
considered and discarded a half- doz
en plans for silencing his "little
pitcher" repetition of the comments
he had heard from Katherine's lips
and mine concerning his grand
mother's abominable discourtesy to
Mrs. Blckett.
Any mother of small children who
never has faced a similar prohlem
has a blessed lot. Indeed. In my first
panic I had agreed wtth Katherine’*
frantic comment that this was no
time for modern methods of child
training. But with my little lad in
my arms, looking cherubically up in
to my face, 1 could neither bribe nor
threaten him. at least not until I had
tried other methods,
"Mama feel bad," he announced
at last with the air of one making
an Important discovery. “Poes it
hurt bad? Dooner tlss It, make it
all weft."
I gave him an ecstatis little hug
and seized the heaven-sent opportun
ity.
"Ves, Mother doeji feel bad, Junior,"
t said Impressively, with a purpose
ly sober face. "It makes Mother feel
so bad for you to sin* those words."
"What words?" he demanded blank
ly
"Don't repeat: tym!" Katherine
Hashed the whisper frantically, and
1 smiled a bit derisively as I ac
knowledged the warning. Repeating
the words, even if I were to do so
silly a thing, would be a distinct
superfluity in Junior’s case. He al
ready had them firmty fixed in his
really remarkable memory, I was
sure of that. s3o, to create a diversion
in Junior's mind, I placed him on the
seat and started the car again.
“Oh! I know!’’ he announced im
portantly. and then he threw back
his head and broke into his chant
again:
“Bomable old woman. Ought to be
spanked."
“Madge!" Katherine's voice was im
ploring, and I knew tiiat she favored
summary and drastic measures, but
Junior's chant abruptly ceased, and
he turned an earnest. Inquiring little
face to minp.
A Promise Won.
‘‘You no like?" he Inquired with so
unconscious yet lifelike an imita
tion of Katie, that Katherine and I,
tensely anxious as we were, had hard
work to suppress our laughter.
With a mental note that the prob
lem of Katie's influence upon Jun
ior's speech must soon be taken up,
L spoke slowly, impressively, never
theless, watching the road carefully
and drove along.
‘‘No, Mother doesn’t like those
words, and she doesn’t want you to
say them again, ever.”
“Never?” he Rsked reluctantly. Evl
dentiy the chant had charms for him. 1
“Never! Never! Never!”
He considered a minute, his head
absurdly on one side. Then he turned
his eyes on Katherine.
“Aunt Tattie said words first,” he
looked triumphantly at me.
”1 knew it!" Katherine whispered
despairingly. “He has my number,
all right. I might just as well ask
Mrs, Ticer for a room anyway.”
“Yes, Junior, I know," X said
promptly. “Aunt Tattie was naughty
to say those words, but she's sorry
she said them, now aren't you, Aifnt
Tattie?”
“Oh, Junior! Aunt Tattle's so sorry,
so sorry!” wailed Katherine sincere
ly. “Listen, Junior. Suppose we
promise Mother we’ll never say those
bad words again.”
“Maybe Something's Wrong.”
He reflected again, soberly. Then,

with a sigh he put away the fascinat
ing possibilities of the new chant.
“All right. Never say dose bad
words again. Hi! Derry. I’ve come
to see you."
We had turned into the Ticer door
yard. and Jerry was at the side of
the car before we had stopped. He
never fails to answer Junior's hall,
no matter how important the task he
leaves. As for Junior, Jerry Is his
childish ideal of manhood, and ho
tags him about as an adoring terrier
might do.
“Hello, Junior!'’ He swung the child
high in his arms as he lifted him out
of the car, and the boy chuckled
gleefully.
I guessed from Jerry's glowing face
that “Lady," his decrepit but beloved
old horse, must be better, and he,
confirmed the guess as soon as he de
posited Junior on the ground, and
sprang to help us out.
“Lady's a hull lot better. Mis' Gra
ham,” he said excitedly. “'JPhe vet
said give her enough stuff to,kill her,
hut he’s fixed her up all right, and
he says with luck she’ll be all right
in a couple of days, and then, Oh!
boy! Junior, you're going to be a

I can teach you how to ride Lady—”

way. “Don’t you hear your father
blowing down the road for you? He’*
blown that whiatle twice. There'* a
couple of other men there. Maybe
something's wrong. You make tracks
now, and then you can com# back
and see Junior.
"Good afternoon, ladies,’’ she turned
to us. “What can I do for you?”
