FAY WEBB IS DEAD;
Peritonitis After Operation
Fatal—Father at
Bedside.
•r the AssoctiteC Pres*.
SANTA MONICA, Calif., November
19.—Dark-eyed Pay Webb, whom Rudy
Valle* called "my dream girl” in the
days before their divorce, died last
night at the age of 29. The orchestra
leader laid down his baton when the
news reached him at a New York
night club and retired to his home.
The pretty former actress, who
figured in a long series of sensational
court battles with Vallee prior to the
divorce last May, died of peritonitis,
Which developed after an abdominal
operation.
Beside the hospital bed when the
end came at 8:40 p.m., after a 41
hour-long state of coma, stood her
father. Police Capt. Clarence E. Webb,
who acted as a mediator in patching
up some of the quarrels between his
daughter and Vallee. He said Vallee
telephoned frequently during his ex
wife's fatal illness to learn of her
condition.
Father Appears Broken.
The father appeared broken as he
left the flower-filled hospital room.
"We were always close pals,'' he said.
"It seems to me the death of her
mother last Spring contributed to Pay's
condition.”
In the glitter and make-believe of
a movie studio, Fay Webb first met
Vallee seven years ago. He came to
Hollywood to make a picture.
Skilled as a dancer, swimmer and
equestrienne, the Santa Monica girl
had stepped out of a high school grad
uation class into film "bits.”
Vallee made her his bride in a secret
ceremony in West Orange, N. J., July
8, 1931. They took a 24-hour honey
moon trip to Atlantic City for what he
said was the "first vacation I've had in
two years."
A year later Pay went to Reno, but
When their differences were patched
Up she returned to Vallee.
The official separation was an
nounced April 4, 1933. After her
father hurried to New York in a vain
attempt to reconcile the pair.
Needs Put at 17,450 Monthly.
Seeking to have her $100 weekly
Support raised in New York, Mrs.
Vallee set forth her needs as $7,450 a
month. She also petitioned to enjoin
Vallee from seeking a Mexican divorce.
The crooner countered by introduc
ing records of "tapped” telephone
conversations between Mrs. Vallee and
a man he identified as Garfield Leon,
an adagio dancer.
In an amended separate mainte
nance suit filed in California, Vallee
was accused of misconduct with Alice
Pave, film actress, who had sung with
his orchestra.
The divorce was granted to Fay last
May by a Los Angeles judge. A cash
settlement and $100 a week went
With it.
Capt. Webb, who said the court
fights left him without bitterness,
planned to bury his daughter beside
his wife.
Brazil has launched a campaign to
Improve cattle hides.
