ETHEL BARRYMORE AND HER DIVORCE
New York, July 8.—"All news to me," said Russell Griswold Colt today, when he was told that report had it that his wife, Ethel Barrymore, the actress, is planning to sue him for divorce under the laws of this state. Mrs. Colt is now in Los Angeles, and dispatches from there carried the report.
"I don't know anything about this." Mr. Colt said. "I don't know anything about it. She has not notified me of anything like this."
"You have not heard, then, that a messenger is on his way here with the papers?"
"Why should they come that way?" replied Mr. Colt. "I don't know. All this stuff about our having a row in New Orleans is all rot. As for my not going on Mrs. Colt's western tour I have my business to look after. That's absolutely all I have to say."
Jack Barrymore, when seen at his summer place in Rockville Center, L.I., made precisely the same comment as his brother-in-law.
"All is news to me," was his first ejaculation, "Possibly I do not believe it," he added. "I have not seen Ethel for three months, but it certainly is not true that I and my brother Lionel urged her to take this step. I introduced Colt to her and I have the highest regard for him."
Ethel Barrymore and Russell Colt were married on March 16, 1909, and they have one child, a son. Young Colt now 29 years old, is a son of Samuel Pomeroy Colt, head of the United States Rubber company and a member of the brokerage firm of H. L. Horton & Co. of this city. He has an independent fortune of his own.
