Is said. But because or her agreement
she has been unable to take ad
vantage of a larger monetary return
for her services.
One of tho allegations In the suit
is that the pretty actress was re
quested to pose in tho nude for a pic
ture to be known as "Devotion." Aftet
her refusal, she claims she was kept
idle for two months, which was Injur!
ous to her reputation.

rowly missed death or serious injury
while acting. Those occasions were
cited because it was contended thai
the company had the right to rescind
