Mrs. De Levy charged her husband with a series of cruel and inhuman acts, including several beatings. The plaintiff also complained that De Levy threatened to disfigure her and displayed a bottle which he said contained sulphuric acid.

In her application for alimony, the dancer said her actor husband had $500,000 in the bank.
