Miss Crawford and Scion of Famous Cudahy Family Break Off Engagement

                Love’s troublous course for Joan Crawford, film actress, and Michael Cudahy, youthful member of the famous Cudahy family, has at last culminated in the breaking of the couple’s engagement, it was admitted by the actress yesterday.

                “Michael and I agreed to disagree,” Miss Crawford explained. “No, his mother’s objections had nothing to do with it, nor had any other person. We decided we do not love each other enough to marry, that’s all.”

                The end of the engagement has not destroyed her friendship for young Cudahy, the actress stated.  “I still think Michael is very wonderful and we may go out together some. But as for anything serious, no,” she said.

                Joan Crawford lives with her mother in Hollywood, while young Cudahy occupies the home of his mother, Mrs. Jack Cudahy. From the first, Mrs. Cudahy has stated strong objections to her son’s engagement and threatened to send him off to school if it resulted in marriage.

                Neither young Cudahy nor Miss Crawford is of age. The latter is under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in Culver City.
