Joe DiMaggio and Dorothy Arnold Enjoying the Beach

(Original Caption) Hollywood, California: DiMaggio's Ex Heading For Court. Joe DiMaggio's former wife, actress Dorothy Arnold, is planning to go to court to stop the retired Yankee slugger from taking their ten-year-old son, Joe, Jr., on Joe, Sr.'s dates with other women, it was disclosed, May 28. The actress will seek a modification of her 1944 divorce decree on June 2. Her ire was reportedly aroused when she learned DiMaggio took the boy along when he visited film actress Marilyn Monroe, and the boy came home using the words "beautiful legs" and "doll." Miss Arnold's attorney emphasized that she didn't intend to single out the shapely Miss Monroe as a person Joe, Jr., should not visit, nor does she intend to stop Joe from seeing the boy. She just wants the boy kept away from "real sharp talk."
