Suit
In Chicago, blonde night club Dancer Marion Milner charged that Restaurateur Gus Terzake was responsible for loss of her prospective husband, sued him for $50,000. In her petition Dancer Milner related that on April 26 she stopped for dinner in Gus Terzake's restaurant before going to Chicago's airport to meet the "man of great wealth" with whom she was going to fly to New York and be married. When she left the restaurant, said Dancer Milner, Restaurateur Terzake's clock indicated she had ample time to make the 8 p. m. plane, but when she reached the airport the plane was on its way to New York with the "man of great wealth" who has since married. All of this charged husbandless Dancer Milner, was due to Restaurateur Terzake's failure to set his clock up one hour on April 26 when all Chicago went on daylight saving time.
