her father denied rumorS that she
was engaged to Berlin. In recent
magazine article Miss Mackay said
that society girls were frequentinK
cabarets because they wanted priv
acy from "unattractive people" often
found in society. In another article
she said that modern society girls
marry as they choose without chas-
ing eligible young men,"
The only witness at the wedding
were Ben Bloom and Mr.. and Mrs.
Max Wirslow. Neither Berlin nor
his wife gave any information as to
where they would spend their honey
moon. Berlin gave his age as 81.
Soon after arriving in this country,
penniless and friendless immigrant
boy, Berlin was employed as a waiter
in 'Nigger Mike" Saulter's saloon in
the Bowery. In addition to being a
carrier of loaded trays of beer, Ber-
lin sang to keep the patrons amused.
He soon began to write songs and
when the first measure of success
reached him Re changed his name
from Baline to Berlin and forsook
the Bowery.
Berlin's first wife died IN 1913. In
memory of her he wrote one of his
most popular songs, when I Lost
You.'
Some Of his more popular songs.

was sung by John Mccormack in the
International radio program New

written to Miss Mackay.
Miss Mackay, one of the most
popular society girls, was born TO
riches and social position, in sharn
contrast to the Russian Ghettos and
.ne Bowery that Berlin knew during
the first half of his life.

Prince Of Wales said on his visit here
last year, zone of the most charming
girls I've ever met. She is a delight

Because Of her magazine articles
Miss Mackay was dubbed "society's
rebel" In the first one she expressed
her disgust of the Extremely un-
alluring specimens" to be found in
the stag line at the social events of
her class.
When Mr.. Mackay first learned of
the attachment Of his daughter for
Berlin, he is said to have engaged
detectives who went into the details
OF the song writer's life from the
time he slept in cellar lodging houses
and sold newspapers in the Bowery
as boy. Last summer Mr.. Mackav
was said to have declared he would
disinherit his daughter if she mar
ried Berlin.
Il don't want your daughter for her
money" Berlin is said to have TOLD
Mr.. Mackay. IF you see fit to dis
inherit her I'll probably have TO
make her wedding gift of coupe
OF million dollars"
When asked If they would seek to
have church marriage performed,
supplementing the civil service today,
Berlin answered.: I'VE will simply
continue our own religions"
