LOVE CULT HEAD SAYS TRIAL

WIFE LASTED 29 DAYS.

Mrs. Mazie Mitchell Ryerson.

The queen of an art model colony doesn’t always make a good wife, Albert W. Ryerson, alleged head of the O.T.O. love cult, charges in a divorce petition against his “thirty-say wife,” Mrs. Mazie Mitchell Ryerson, professional art model and queen of the Chalet de Arts, New York. Ryerson charges that she was married at the time he married her. Mrs. Ryerson, who is eighteen, lived with her husband for just twenty-nine days.
