The ample railroad millions of the head of the family house, Geerge J. Gould, Sr., new in his fifty-ninth year, have once mere enfolded a fair flower of the stage as the result of a secret marriage en May 1 at Lake Lake weed, N. J. , The marriage came te light two months and twelve days afterward, or just eight months te the day after the sudden death of Mr. Gould's first charming actress-wife en the golf links of Lukewoed. Of the second bride, twenty-nine years old and known prier te her marriage, first as Miss Vcre Sinclair and later as Mrs. Alice Sinclair, there is little definite social data beyond the principal facts of her lim ited career under the glare of the spots and footlights. Reputed te be charming and cultured, she was known te neighbors at Rye, N. Y., and in New Yerk City for her grace, gentleness and winsomeness. Judge Harry Newman, President Judge of the Court of Common Picas of Ocean County, New Jersey, who united her in wedlock with Mr. Gould, gives definite testimony of her youthful and blonde pulchritude, as does the camera.
