Chubby’s Mom Puts White Fiance Out Os Home
Mother Claims “Miss World” is
Marrying Checker For His Money
THEATRE PAGE
PHILADELPHIA (ANP)—'"Every
lime our boys get up in the world
they think their girls aren't good
enough for them.”
With that straight-from-the
ahoulder statement, Mrs. Eartle
Evans, mother of Twist King
Chubby Checker, explained
why she ts opposed to the
romance and impending mar
riage between her famous son
and white Catherine Codders
of Holland, “Miss World of
1983.”
Mrs. Ivans thinks the romance
is not genuine', and that Miss Ladd
ers is marrying her aon for his
money.
Her son disagrees, and the issue
has caused s split between them.
Mrs. Evans took the stand
after putting Mias Ladders out
of the Evans’ S75.M* palatial
home which Chubby bought
somo months ago, after a verbal
dispute erupted between tbe
The glafnorous Mias Loddera had
been staying there lince the Christ
mas and New Year’s holidays, when
'Catherina'f parents visited in Chub
by's home. All had seemed well
then, at MUi Lodder'a father, an
interior xleeorator for Dutch KIM
Airlines. In Haarlem, Holland, em
braced Mrs. Evans upon hia arrival.
Mrs. Evans had at first opposed
*h» engagement, announced by
C.irrkcr last January, but then
derided to accept her future daugh
i -in-law after her aon p'eaded
\ i her.
Terentiy, however, she appeared
ti have tired of playing an unreal
istic or part in the affair.
She said last week that she got
Into a discusion of the romance
with Miss Coders, and that she
told the Dutch beauty point blank
She didn't think she was the "rt ght
person for my son to marry”.
She said Miss Codder* said: ‘1
don't ever want to speak to you
again ", to which she replied. ' Thai's
fine. . , pack up your, things and
leave”.
Mrs. Evan* explained, however,
that she likes Miss Codders as a
person and holds nothing against
her. She just fee Is that her son
doesn't know what he Is getting
Into, and is making a mistake. She
Mid the interracial romance ha*
Just about ruined her son's career.
Checker, whose real name I* Er
nest Evans, was a minor whose
financial affairs was administered
by lha court trusteeship until s
lew months ago.
When Checker came home
and found oul that his fianr*
waa gone, he berame infuriated
and got into a heated argument
with his mother. He then
stormed out of the house.
“He comes here once In a while
to plrk up hia mall but that'a
all.” Mrs. Evans said of her
aon. “The last I heard ha was
living in New Jersey. His
friends say he'i still determined
to marry the girl.”
