The honeymoon covered a cruise from California to New York, via the Panama Canal. When Iris got to New York, she left him, picked a good state and sued for divorce. She got her decree and, washed up with pictures, returned to New York clubs, this time doing a specialty, advertised as Iris Adrian of the films. She worked a couple of weeks at Leon & Eddie's, featured, and got over so well that she was given another chance in Hollywood, with another studio. And this time she clicked. Through the years, Herman Amron continued to love her. Once in a while she would give him a break and let him take her out. Though he had disposed of the opal bracelet years before, the curse apparently hung on. Every time she went out with Herman something unfortunate happened to her. Once she got sick; again, she got word of a lost Hollywood contract. The last time Iris was in the newspapers was when she married Georgie Jay, a personable character who owns an uptown night club, the 78th Street Taproom. The marriage, of course, wasn't meant to take, because Iris had to stay in Hollywood and he had to stay in New York. Once, when she was East, she and her husband sat in Leon & Eddie's. Herman, the hoodoo, was at the next table. He came over to say hello to Iris and Jay. That night Iris and her husband had the squabble which resulted, a week later, in her divorce. b.--_Edith Finds Love_ Newcomers to night life--and most people around town today--will not recognize her name, Edith Roark. But we remember Edith well--also the fabulously funny story she told on herself, that made her for the time the best-known beauty on the White Way. Edith came from Dallas ... went to Hollywood ... became a showgirl ... worked for Sam Goldwyn. When N.T.G. opened the famous old Paradise Restaurant on Broadway, in 1932, he imported 12 Goldwyn girls--at $150 a week--for his première. Edith was one. On the Coast, the luminous Miss Roark had been the constant companion of George Raft. In New York, she met singer Harry Richman--my, how that guy gets into our stories!--and became his constant companion. A few months later, Richman and Raft happened to meet in Chicago. Raft said to Richman--"Harry, what's this I hear about you trying to steal my girl?" Richman said to Raft--"Georgie, you're nuts. She's my girl and you keep away from her." Raft replied--"I'll prove it." He phoned Edith in New York, said--"Honey, Richman says you love him." Miss Roark, not knowing Richman was listening in on the extension, cooed sweetly--"Why, Georgie, you know you're my only love. I'm just being polite to Richman. He's important and can do me good." "Just wait till I call her," Richman said. He got Edith on the phone, asked--"What's this I hear about Raft?" Again cooing sweetly, unconscious of Raft's ear on the other receiver, Edith said--"Why, Harry, you know you're my only love. I'm just being polite to Raft. He was so nice to me on the Coast."
