T. F. Manville Jr. Marries
Stage Divorcee. -
By United Press
NEW YORK, May 22.—Thomas
Franklin Manville Jr., principal
heir to the fortune made in asbestos
roofing, was married at city hall
Thursday to Avonne Taylor, once
described by Florenz Ziegfeld as
hr IT COVERS THE FLOOR WE HAVE IT!
"the most beautiful girl I ever
glorified."
Each of them has been married
twice before. Manville. when 17
years old, eloped with Florence Mu
ber, a chorus girl, but divorced her
after his father cut off his allow- I
ance. Later he married Lois Arline
McCoin, his father's stenographer,
and she divorced him in 1926.
Miss Taylor said today*she "could
not remember" the name of her first j
husband, who divorced her. In 1925
she married Louis Cress, musical
comedy director, and divorced him
three years later. Manville gave his
age as 37 and Miss Taylor as 32.
Millionaires are getting scarcer in
Britain; in 1924-25 there were 601,1
while in 1928-29 there were only 487.
