First, congratulations on finding the actual wedding date of Ollie
and Jack. It is excellent news and Bill should be commended on his
superb research. As can be attested by anyone who searched for
this "holy grail", there were a lot of red herrings and the wedding
date explains a lot of things including why Ollie made "Heiress for a
Day" in less than ten days (she left with Jack for the east
immediately after finishing this film) and why Ollie was not
mentioned in any form as their biggest draw as Famous Player-Lasky
and Triangle were about to merger. (Ollie was in NYC with Jack as
newlyweds while officials from both firms inspected the Culver City
studios and watch an Alma Ruebens picture being filmed.) The merger
was off as Ollie started to film again.

Second, Ollie first marriage and divorce are well documented and can
be obtained from the Office of the Prothonotary in Pittsburgh for
less than $20.00. Ollie was sixteen and Krough was 20 and listed his
profession as a clerk. They separated in Nov 1913 and Ollie filed for
divorce from NYC in January 1914 citing extreme cruelty. The divorce
was granted in February 1915 for $25.00 because Mr. Thomas could
never be served. Ollie was granted a week's leave from the Frolic to
attend the court hearing. The details that can be obtained tend to
confirm certain details of Mr. Thomas' 1931 interview.

Again, congratulations on fine work.
