 HIT OF THE YEAR

Her Wedding Night" will opeT n two-day run at the Bradley theatre Sunday. It's laughs at the start, the middle and love at the end. It's a Bow knockout.
 Imagine Clara Bow as a red-head. ed film star in France, where, be- cause she doesn't understand the language. she unwittingly becomes the bride in wedding ceremony in which the groom is masquerading un- der an assumed name. Thus she be- comes the wife, by proxy, of a man she has never seen. And when they meet, and when Charlie Ruggles gets his complieating comedy, and when Skeets Gallagher. the hriaeg-oa::.' 's proxy's. gets through explaining, there's diverting love story with Clara falling hard for her strangely acquired husband. Ralph Forbes.
