FILM QUEEN HERE
ON HONEYMOON
Dorothy Gish and James Rennie
Unrecognized While AT Ben
Grosvenor Inn, Pomfret
Garage Man Puts the Question
Bride Makes Reply

If it hadn't been for the inquisitive-
ness of capable motor mechanic in a
local garage, this end Of Windham
County would never have known,
probably, that Pomfret-that secret
i've little town that is our next door
neighbor-had been the scene during
the past week of a day or SO Of the
honeymoon of that Queen of the
Movies" Miss Dorothy Gish. But
then, that's just like Pomfret. 1t
tucks away lot of talent in its quiet
corners and never says anything about
it. Certainly Miss Gish didn't bring
along press agent with her, and the
result was that not until fiat tire
took her and her husband into local
garage that the identity Of the newly
married couple was discovered.
In big racing carat least we pre-
sumo that it was a big racing car,
since film stars seldom travel other
wise, according to their exclusive col
umns in the Sunday dailies-Mr. and
Mrs. Rennie arrived at the Ben Gros-
venor Inn early in the week. They
did not sign the register but took
rooms and attended strictly to their
own affairs. No movie fan in the no.
tel dining room suspected that the
pretty lady and the handsome young
man lunching quietly in the corner
were but a week ago the subjects of
international headlines.
Then came the fiat tire and visit
to Putnam. While the car was lacked
up Mr.. and Mrs. Rennie stood at one
side watching the process.
The garage man, who on off nights
spends some hours of twilight worship
before the Pickering features of film
dom, looked long and hard at Mrs.
Rennie. Finally ne summoned up his
courage and spoke.
"Say," quoth he, "ain't you Dorothy
Gish?"
"You said it." answered the lady,
and moment later she disappeared In
the direction of Boston.
A telephone message to the Ben
Grosvenor corroborated the words of
Mr.. Rennie, who on further converse
ton confessed-of course not for
publication-thath he and Mrs. Rennie
had been quietly honeymooning at the
old Pomfret inn during the early part
of the week.
They were married just week ago
Sunday at Greenwich in double cere-
mony in which Constance Talmadge,
an equally famous film star, was mar
ried to one John Tialoglo. 1t seems
that the Gishes and the Talmadges,
two families who number five phe-
nomenally successful stars of the CAM
era in their midst, have been great
friends for years. They reside during
the winter months at the Hotel Sa-
voy in New York City. Miss Dorothy
Gish and Miss Constance Talmadge,
being inseperable friends, started off
for a motor ride with MIR. Rennie and
Mr.. Tialaglo. Somewhere between
New York and Greenwich, along the
old Post Road, the resolution to marry
was formed with the result that late
afternoon found the two young wo-
men returning to New York with diff
ferent names.
Along with the illness Of Caruso,
the death of Monk Eastman, and the
latest robberies Of the day, the New
York papers featured the double mar
rage and the news went around the
world.
Then, while the papers rang with
this new publicity, Mr.. Rennie, who
has been playing in one Of the sea-
sons dramatic successes, Spanish
Love-" and Miss Gish, who was enjoy
ing a brief "at leisure" stole away
from the movie-land into Connecticut.
And they almost got away with it.
