Hollywood’s “IT” girl, Clara Bow, and husband-to-be, B-Western star Rex Bell, listen intently to court proceedings in January 1931. Bow was being accused by her former secretary, Daisy De Voe, of “large capacities both as to histrionic and alcoholic abilities.” De Voe demanded $125,000 from Bow’s attorney for “Things I know” according to an asserted confession of De Voe. Bow charged De Voe with theft and misconstruing her life-style. On January 23, 1931 the jury convicted De Voe of grand theft on one of 35 counts Clara had filed against her. Bow and Bell were later married in December ‘31.
