And regarding the Chicago picture, I’d have real compassion on the guy if I didn’t know how he got to divorce court. In 1948, it was adultery or abandonment. Plus, he’s not likely to be poor–there were no 30 year mortgages at the time, so judging by his wife’s mink, even the “divide by two with alimony” treatment is going to leave him pretty well off.
Unless of course his employer had a morals clause, in which case he’s screwed whether or not she takes him back. But not screwed.
