The New York appellate division reversed a Supreme Court verdict awarding Miss Cora C. Wilkening 108839 for commissions as agent to Mary Pickford.

Justice Merrell noted Pickford’s business acumen and family support, questioning the likelihood of a verbal contract with a novice adviser sharing one tenth of receipts.
