No movie fan and few evenN.of the
most astute observers would have
picked him for a man who was to be
married within a few hours to one
of the most widely known women in
the world.
John Fairbanks was best man for
his brother and Miss Plckford was
attended by Marjorie Daw, another
screen star. Others present were:
Mrs. Pickford, Mary's mother; Mrs.
John Fairbanks. Mrs. Brougher and
her mother; Mrs. Isabel Morse, DIR.
Henry Miles Cook, Bennie Zeidman,
formerly Fairbanks press agent, and
j. w. Brougher. jr
The bride wore white tulle over
white satin, with apple green binding
and a spray Of apple green at her
waist. Her only jewel was a pearl
ornament Fairbanks was in evening
clothes. Miss Daw wore pink
Georgette. Mrs. Pickford wore bead
ed Georgette crepe, and Mrs. John
Fairbanks wore a beaded cream
colored gown. Miss Pickford gave
her age as twenty six and Fairbanks
said he was ten ye% older.
Both Lacked Compo.ure. p
Both the bride And bridegroom ap-
cared lacking in the composure
Ihich might have been expected of
eteraps of similar scenes in real as
iell aA reel, life.
The double ring ceremony was used
nd at it's conclusion Rev. Brougher
cad from Bible given to Fairbanks
his mother on her deathbed. He
elected Ephesians, 5:22 to 81, where
wives are admonished to be in
objection" to their husbands and
nsbands to "cleave unto" their
wives.
Marjorie Daw, the bridesmaid, is
me of the most youthful OF the film
tars. 1t is interesting to recall that
hen she first gained notice in her
rofession, in 1915, when she was
fteen years old, she was heralded as
he probable future rival OF Mary
'ickford.
The marriage of Miss Pickford and
'airbanks probably now will turn
ontecture as to the outcome of mari
al entanglements Of the stars OF the
screen toward Charlie Chaplin and
MS wife. These two still are in diff
tculties and the latest news was that
lrs. Chaplin contemplated separation
.ction unless Charlie quit living at
he Los Angeles Athletic Club and
'1turned home to her.
Denied Gossip.
Gossip first began to connect the
'ames of Miss Pickford and Fairbanks
ibout two years ago. With Chaplin,
tbout that time, they toured the

oan. appearing on the stage together

taken seriously by the motion picture
colony here, where an incident which
the newspapers generally aid not
print. for obvious reasons, WAS re-
called.
This transpired in the spring OF
1918. when Owen Moore, from whom
Miss Piekford recently got a d.

In this connection the cases or

leading lights of the silent drama

pie who now stand at the top OF their
profession has not been announced,
but it is understood they will make
a tour of the world together, taking
motion pictures of the places visited
together. This report gained cur
rency some time ago, but, like all
other reports which connected their
names, was emphatically, positively
and sternly denied BY the pretty lit
tie star and every one else connected
with the case.

HOUSING PLAN
NEARS SUCCESS
Thirty of Hundred Houses Set
as Goal Already Pledged,
Say Realtors.
CALLED MEETING FRIDAY

Members of the Chattanooga Real
Estate exchange are determined to
carry out their plan OF home build
ing, which will relieve Chattanooga S
serious shortage of housing facilities,
according to J. Lee Allen, president
of the exchange. Plans of the body
call for the immediate construction
OF 100 houses. To date pledges have
been received by the real estate men
for the construction of about thirty
houses. The real estate exchange
members have pledged themselves to
build twenty five houses.
A meeting was held Wednesday
afternoon with local building mate
rial men. The real estate exchange
asked that the local material supply
men pledge themselves to build
twenty-fi five houses. Promises OF four
houses were secured as a result OF
the meeting.
The material men argued that
there is at present shortage OF
building material in Chattanooga
Their argument, however. was dis
counted by the real estate men, who
presented figures showing that ex-
tensive building programs are being
ing Nashville and Atlanta, in the
south II was asked why. II these
cities are able TO secure the neces-
sary material, the local material sup
ply men were unable to get their
PORTION.
Chattanooga Lags.
G. F. Crotty, of the National Real
Estate Journal was present at the
n
figures OF building operations In
other cities. Chattanooga, he pointed
out, is far behind in her building
program and within a year she will
face an acute situation. Manufac-
turers will refuse to locate here un-
less there are available houses.
Mr.. Crotty stated that he has re-
Gently visited twenty-five cities and
said there was extensive building
under way in all of these. He de-
clared that he did not know what
the trouble was in Chattanooga and
why building material men were I'M
able TO get their share OF the supply.
y. Lee Allen, president of the real
estate exchange, presided at the
meeting.
President Allen has called n meet
ing OF the exchange for noon Fri
day at the Read house. Further plans
for the housing proposition will be
taken up and all members of the ex-
change are urged to be present The
exchange will ask local manufacture
ers to build at least fifty houses and
II is the belief OF the board that their
plan for 100 houses will be success
full and the homes put under con-
struction Immediately.
