and undiscovered realm it was asserted asserted asserted as as- Mr Power had been assured that Edith Crane was taking just as much interest in hit his welfare and happiness as she had bad when she wasat was wasat wasat at his side in the flesh It was the wish of Edith Crane that he cease his bis mourning that ho he put aside his bis sorrow and that he seek for the comforts and joys of f material existence along the tho lines Jines she indicated So zealously had the departed wife considered the heeds and pleasures of th the man she had left lct behind that it was said she had gone so

gain by Cupid may only be conjectured At any rate they were married For nearly eight years yeas they lived on the Pacific coast separated only when business caused Mr Power to take eastern trips Two children were born Tyrone Jr now 6 years old and Anne who is 4 9 Suddenly the professional associates and th the many friends of the family in other lines Jines of endeavor en deavor denvor learned that there was friction in ill ti spacious Power bungalow Before the fact of a separation could be verified came public announcement an that a decree of divorce had been granted to Mrs Power in San Diego It was not an invisible divorce said Mrs Power to one ono of her of-her her close dose friends when the news had traveled but it was an inaudible and painless one There Thera was pas no echo of publicity until now Ghostly Mate late Became Neglected The reference to the invisible divorce prompts the assumption that not only had Mrs Irs Power been placed in possession of the facts farts which are arc declared to have led to her marriage but that she also had heard of the startling explanation explanation ex which some of Mr Powers Power's friends were offering for the abrupt termination of the romance This solution of it affects directly the spirit wife spirit w wife e the tho inspiration of the second mar Mrs Power Pow obtained her ber decree on the grounds f of desertion and non This

flu Maurier's famous novel and scored a triumph In the tho play death released Trilby from the spell under which he had forced her to obey his will A striking dissimilarity is presented in the remarkable remarkable remarkable re re- case of Edith Cranes Crane's private life On the stage she fihe p played ayed the part of the helpless subject completely under hypnotic control The Tho home Me life of Mr and Mrs Tyrone Power was so Ideal that after the death of Mrs Power it is now claimed a clairvoyant medium of intercommunication tion stun was found whereby Tyrone Power was able te is t receive messages from the spirit of or the wife who who- had crossed the borderline which separates those who still wait waif from those who have answered the call can And these messages utterly unlike those which might have been expected from the timorous Trilb Trilby of the stage were as masterful and compelling all as though the spirit of had dictated them by those who profess to have seen een behind the cartain CUT cur tain tame as proof that the spirit of her who had attempted at tempted to shape the happiness of two lives lins on onearth onearth earth had grown dissatisfied with the too effective effee tive results If it is possible le for a disembodied ego to experience the sensations of jealousy they would have us believe that the soul of Edith Crane found at last that the love she bore for Tyrone Power when she was with him in the world was stronger than she had ever known in all aU that daily comradeship Existence in the higher plane which she now inhabits with all aU its erable crable delights was not in final contemplation equivalent to the pleasures remembered from frem prior incarnation so it would appear and and- resorting resorting resort resort- rt ing to the phraseology of this planet Edith Crane in the other world had become jealous of her successor and through her own means of communication com corn had directed her beloved ones one's thoughts and actions to the end that he could not combat an accusation of neglect by her mundane The wife earth-wife is quite candid in discussing the case In reply to th the question Should the tho spirit of a mans man's first wife wife- select her second mate she responds quickly and with emphasis No Her view of the now disastrous union is singularly free from any rancor spite or resentment It is entirely unselfish indeed and everything she has said about Mr Power since he went away she has said with a a surprising surprising ing tone of womanly sympathy and affection As a wife I was too happy for usefulness or ess progress she has bas said My whole being was centred in Mr Powers Power's success and career I had bd hadnot hadnot not an iota ioa of individual existence I had ease luxury leisure adulation and I was like ona one whose faculties were held in a trance from tho the exotic perfume of a a. sensuous flower It is only since I 1 have bave gone through the throes of a disrupted disrupted disrupted dis dis- dis- dis home and have been thrown on my own resources that I have had the first inkling of what whit life really means m ans Divorced She Praises Husband Of course Mr Power needed the development develop ment too or he be could not have done the thing he did left did left a devoted wife and two loving adoring children My most constant wish is that he may get just the experience from life which will win round out his character and develop the very fine fino traits in his nature I 1 am bringing my children up with th the belief belles that the principle back of or everything is love lore Even Eft behind the mask of unpleasantness there thero is u al always al ways the great guiding force of love by the right attitude of thought It is knowing this principle that has made me understand how this thing is best for us all aU It is useless to deny that at I fits fit's I thought myself the most wretched and grief grief- stricken creature in all the world Having had the tho harmonious ideal home life that I have had with Mr Power for eight years yean it jt seemed to me that the end of time had been reached when I realized that he was not coming b back ck to me But the tho breaking up of that idyllic romance was the most fortunate thing that could have happened to me for I can truly say now that I am far happier than I ever thought I could be he Happier in m a positive stable permanent way which is not dependent upon anyone else cIse Mrs Power is at present in the East She has told friends that she is not not worried a as to the future Immediately after receiving the divorce she went to Los Angeles where she played a short engagement with one of the stock companies there thereafter after which she and the children took an eastbound east cast bound train If theatrical If-theatrical offers in Chicago and New York do not appeal to her she has said she is ready to return to California where there thera aro are a number of screen engagements awaiting her n 1 |
