Oct. 23.—‘ Because he is infatuated with Trixie Friganza,” said pretty Louise Dresser, through tears last night, “my husband. Jack Norworth, wants to divorce me.”“There is no other reason,* went on the actress. “She has alienated his affections from me. It is cruel and unpro-voked, and I shall certainly combat'the suit.” ** LMiss Dresser traces her troubles to the engagement of Lew Fields’s “AboutTown” show in Philadelphia last season.She played a leading part in that farce, and so did her husband. Miss Friganza was often at the theatre, and, according to Miss Dresser, Mr. Norworth began to let her go home alone after performances. while he would take Miss Tnxie out riding in an automobile. ,This situation became more taut, she says, after “The Orchid” opened. There w’ere more automobiles and more goings home alone on her part. The limit was reached and passed, the wife declares,when Norworth deliberately went into vaudeville in order to be playing in Chicago, when “The Orchid.*’ with Miss Friganza, went there for its long stay.Both Mr. Norworth and Miss Friganza are playing in Chicago now. They have been out of New* \ ork for some time, which is the reason, according to Miss Dresser, that slqe didn’t know anythingabout the impending suit until her husband’s friends came around and asked her if she couldn't see her way to let him get a decree without any fuss.“I shall simply tight to prove my own innocence,” said Mis* Dresser, “and then I don’t think we will ever live together afterward.” .
