MARY ASTOR'S CHILD AWARDED HUSBAND Cruelty Basis of Suit Against Film Actress—Salaries Were Far Apart. By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, Calif, April 13.— Another screenland’s much publicized but seldom successful “perfect mar- riages,” the union of titian-tressed Mary Astor and Dr. Franklin Thorpe, Hollywod physician, was in ashes today. In failing to appear in court yester- day to contest her husband’s divorce suit, Miss Astor not only gave up the man she credited a few years ago with restoring her health, but she relinquished custody of her 3-year-old daughter, Marilyn. Dr. Thorpe told the court a com- munity property settlement had been made and that Miss Astor had agreed he should rear the child. ‘The divorce was granted on grounds of cruelty. Dr. Thorpe said his 29- year-old wife made disparaging re- marks about his earning powers. He added that although he had a lucra- tive private practice as a physician it did not compare to Miss Astor’s earnings, reported to be $1,500 a week. 140-YEAR LIFE SPAN SEEN BY VORONOFF Noted European in U. S. After Gland Experiments in East- ern Countries. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, April 13.—It's only a matter of time before human beings may live to an age of 140, says Dr. tSelége ‘Voronoff, noted European scien- ist. He arrived here yesterday after ex- tensive experiments with orang utans, chimpanzees and gibbons in India, Indo-China and Java, all for the advancement of the monkey gland rejuvenation theory which has made him famous. Dr. Voronoff was accompanied by his bride, whom he married last year when he was 70 and she was 21. A 140-year life span process re- quires only that wornout glands be replaced with young and active glands, which would impart new im- pulses to all the cells of the body, the scientist declared.
