FILM WEDDING
IN "SUNNY"
UNUSUAL

One of the most beautiful and
unusual weddings ever performed
before the cameras was filmed
and recorded at First National
studios.
The wedding is one of the
scenes in Sunny" Marilyn Mil
ler's starring production, and
now at Warmers Earle. It is a
wedding on shipboard, on a
great transatlantic liner, Miss
Miller and Joe Donahue being
the principals.
Wedding at Sea
The scene, taking place in the
ships dancing salon, was partici-
pated in by 500 people, includ-
ing the Smartest dressed Of Holly
woods extras. All Of the gowns
were especially created by Ed
ward Stevenson, designer Of film
fashions at First National.
A wedding at sea is always
performed by the captain, as it
was in this case. A retired naval
officer, versed in all the Gus
toms and traditions of the sea,
played the role Of the captain.
The marriage ceremony varies
widely from ship to ship, and ma.
ton to nation. The liner in
Sunny" is supposed to be a Brit
ish vessel, so the actual marriage
service carried on a White Star
liner was obtained.
Simple Ceremony
The ceremony is short and very
simply worded, in the blunt Ian.
guage of the sea, and is not of a
religious nature. The principal
formality afterward is the record
ing of the fact in the ships log,
and the signing Of the report by
the captain, the pair who are mar.
ried, and witnesses.
Among the beautifully gowned
bridesmaids was Frances Rich,
daughter of Irene Rich, who Is
ambitious to follow her mother in
motion picture career. Miss
Rich was working on an adjoin-
ing stage, playing the role Of
mother in Fathers Son." Judith
VoSselli and Barbara Bedford also
played the roles of bridesmaids.
Miss Miller wore beautiful gown,
with veil and train 10 feet long
of old lace. It is valued at $4,000.
Sunny" is the screen adaptation
of Miss Miller's famous stage sue.
cess. William A. Setter directed.
Sunny" is being presented as
the screen attraction with stage
program headed by Joe Donahue
and Belle Baker.

MIN AND BILL,
DRAMATIC
STORY

Min and Bill" Metro-G -Goldwyn-
Mayors filmization of the Lorna
Moon novel, with Marie Dressler
and Wallace Beery in the central
roles, isEthe attraction held over
for the second week at Loew's
Columbia.
The story, a dramatic tale of the
conflict between a foster-mother
and the natural mother for the
happiness of a child, laid amid
the Sordid surroundings of a fish
ing-cannery village, was one of the
best sellers of the season, and in
its film form is hailed as one Of
the most powerful talking picture
dramas Of today.
Miss DreSSler is seen as the
keeper Of a waterfront dive, in her
first character role since that in

the part of a captain of fish

success in "The Big House"

Marion Jackson, and was directed
by George Hill, with a cast that
includes Dorothy Jordan, Mar
jorie Rambeau, Frank McGlynn,
Dewitt Jennings, Donald Dillaway
and others.
The dramatic highlights of the
play include the grim battle be-
tween Miss Dressler and the tru
ant officer, played by Jennings,
for the custody of the girl, en-.
acted by Miss Jordan, and the
sensational dramatic climax in
the fight between Miss Rambeau
and Miss Dressler, with it's ending
in sacrifice murder" to insure
the girls future happiness. A
thrilling rescue Of the girl by
Beery in racing motorhoats adds
another thrill to the picture, and
comedy is injected in the jealous
battles Of Beery and Miss Dressler
throughout the picture.

Maureen OSuHiVan Verne. And yet
with all of his celluloid in
dividuality Director David Butler
soon exhausted his supply of
cleverness and his font Of satir-
ical idea. Hence his feature
drags and interest is kept alive
by a. series of conventional
comedy gags with Ell Brendel
supplying the laughs.
Glimpse at Future
Honors, it seemed to this
critic, accrue to the imaginative
genius who conceived the scenes
which picture the New York Of
half a century hence. Here we
have the thickly travelled air
lanes with traffic cops in the
sky, airplanes that can stand still
in the heavens, architectural
structures of tremendous height,
the television phones, other evil
denceS Of mans progress in the
science Of mechanics.
Into this world Of the future
Is projected Ell Brendel, of the
year 1880 A. D. He is presumed
to have been struck by lightning
and the medical wizardry Of 1880
brings him into the laboratory
and restores him to life after SO
years of death. Brendel, as the
modern Rip Van Wrinkle, finds
much at which to marvel. Folks
now have numbers instead of
names. Food is taken in concen-
trated capsules. Drink likewise.
The neighborS talk about light
wines and beer coming back in a
couple Of years.
Comes then a journey in

such interludes breath taking.
Withal "Just Imagine" is worth

Grace George IN

Grace George, a subtle come

modern role in THE First Mrs.
Fraser" st. John Ervine's witty
comedy Of divorce and remarriage
which comes to the Shubert Be
lasco Theater for the week COM
mencing Monday night, Decem-

The play Is an international
success, a hit in London and

more, Miss George is bringing
here her entire New York COM
pany which features "A. E. Mat

all English actors with American
audiences, and Lawrence Gros-
smith, a famed comedian here
and abroad. In the modern thea
ter, the art of comedy has no
more gracious interpreter than
this triumvirate.
AS to the play, the tenderness
and humor of Mr.. Ervine's deft
pen cannot be detailed in para

counterplay Of purposes best de-
scribed as a double triangle.
There's the charming Janet Fra.
ser. who has permitted her head
strong husband, James, to divorce
her some five years ago. Philip
Logan is an ardent suitor for
Janet's heart and hand. Elsie,
the second Mrs. Fraser, has

Much has been written of Par
rot Fever in the past year. A
great deal of it has consisted of
rather vague and, at times, hys-
terical accounts. We have at
last an authoritative account Of
an epidemic occurring at the
dygienic laboratory In Washing

The disease Is not a new dis
covery. It has been known since
1879. The first described cpl
de1nic was IL Switzerland. Three
weeks after the arrival Of a ship
4nent Of parrots into the little
town TO Ulster, Switzerland, the
disease broke out. Seven people
were afflicted and three died.
In the epidemic at the Hy-
gienic laboratories. the disease
made It's appearance among the
research workers or bacteriol-
ogists engaged in studying the
disease. The infections were
not due to handling infected
parrots or parrakeets. Of seven
