heFeiation OF = TYPICAL movie
scenario, in which the beautiful
young girl becomes the bride of an
elderly millionaire through the am
bitions of q fond mother, the re-
sulting marriage to prove suddenly
unsatisfactory, was suggested to-
day by parties interested in execut-

jr., Washington dairy king, who
died in Atlantic City Sunday.
TAKES LEADING ROLE.
The leading role of this suggested
Florida honeymoon" flm was seven
ty-two-year-old Uncle George" SO
named by the predestined bride upon
their romantic first meeting in the
girls booth at the New York State
fair last year.
The customary string OF incidents
ordinarily screened preceding the
private wedding-the purchase of an
expensive trousseau and jewelry-all
the props that are poured into
super -production-is said to have
been included in this life story of
the girl that meets up with sudden
riches and marries at the insist
of her mother, who aims to accom-
pany her daughter on the tropical
honeymoon
Belief that this real story might
end differently, following the death
Of Oyster and the announcement that

Oyster is entitled by law to one half
her deceased husbands personal es-

as is often made, between Mr.. and
Mrs. Oyster before they were married.
Attorney Brandenburg. Oysters
representative. this morning con-
firmed the writing of the wills codi-
Gil, in addition pointing out that Mrs.
Oyster, should she seek other pro-
vision through the right of a wife

Il cannot say anything further than
that Mrs. Oyster and her mother re-

the nuptisl trip to Florida taking
