In a shocking turn of events, former New York actress Margaret Kirby Weber, a statuesque show girl in the original Merry Widow company, has fled to Keno, Nevada, seeking a divorce from her millionaire husband, Albert Weber. The 38-year-old socialite, known for her beauty and charm, claimed that her husband’s lack of interest in her musical career and jealousy of her stage aspirations have left her heartbroken. Weber, a prominent member of the Manhattan Club and a frequent foreman of the New York grand jury, vehemently denied the allegations, stating that his wife’s actions had forced him to reveal the dark secrets of their troubled marriage. As the couple’s marital discord continues to unravel, a bitter courtroom battle looms on the horizon, with Albert Weber threatening to take drastic action, including a lawsuit, in an effort to silence his estranged wife once and for all.
