| HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 6. -
There are more marriage cere-
monies performed in motion pic
ture studio than any place on earth.
Not only that, but the forms Of
every creed and denomination are
represented. It doesn't matter if it
is the terse "do-you-take-thiS-
woman" justice of the-peace type,
or the elaborate ceremonial of the
church, with bridesmaids, usners,
flowers, vestments, and all.
Any prop man can tell you Off
hand the general procedure and
some of them can even recite the
service.
Most of these forms are we'll
known to movie goers who are used
to seeing them on the screen, but
the one most rarely seen and so
far conceded to be the most color
full is the marriage ceremony of the
Greek Orthodox church, the official
religion of Russia under the car.
It was this form in which Douglas
Fairbanks Jr. and Nancy Carroll
took part in filming their Russian
revolution picture, Son of Russia, "
at the First National studios not
long ago.
There were no elaborate prepare
tions-at least so far as the story
went. The marriage was a hasty
one, with two witnesses picked up
on the street and dragged into the
church without half knowing what
they were going to witness. But the
art and technical departments of
the studio had worked on the de-
tails for weeks.
The set representing the interior
of the church had an atmosphere
all its own with its burning candles,
smoking incense burners, ikonS and
holy pictures.
The priest, with flowing beard and
gold and silver veStmentS, presided
over little satin covered altar on
which were placed the properties
necessary to the Greek Orthodox
marriage service.
The Ceremony
The bride and groom each held
long, narrow lighted taper, which
was tied with pink ribbons and dec
grated with orange blossoms. Amidst
the smoke of candles and incense,
the priest intoned the service, in the
midst of which he hands the best
man and bridesmaid a jeweled crown
which they are to hold over the
heads of the couple.
These crowns are fashioned in
much the same manner as the for
NAL crowns of King and Queen,
made of gold and studded with
jewels.
The groom does not place the ring
on the finger of the bride. Instead
the priest picks out two wedding
rings from a bowl on the altar and
places them himself on the fingers
OF both bride and groom.
The hands bearing the rings are
then joined and scarf or handker-
chief thrown over them, as though
tying them together.
linen begins a procession around
and around the altar with the priest
leading the way, chanting his bene-
oictions, and leading the bride and
groom by their scarf-covered hands.
with their free hands they carry
their lighted tapers.
Following them come the best
man and bridesmaid, holding the
crowns over the heads of the young
couple until the service is ended.
ms wedding ceremony in Son of
russia will always be a part of
Flrst Nationals research files. Judg-
ing from the mass of detail worked
out for it, it should easily become
Hoiiywood's authoritative version of
such a rite.

Remain at Gardens
in Park.

A large crowd is expected to wit
ness the finish of the 100-mile nom
stop run tomorrow at Broad Ripple
park, when Johnny Seller, worlds
champion professional athlete, will
conclude this feat within the park
grounds.
This will be the main attraction
at the park Sunday.
Seller, who has large following
among youths through his lectures
on health, will start this century
run somewhere north of Indianapo-
lis late Saturday night.
A number of leading druggists
throughout the city will sponsor re-
duced rate ride days throughout the
week.
The Perine Oil Company and the
Darmody Candy Company are Spon-

A popularity contest will be fea-
tured by the new dance gardens al

legians continue as the orchestra.

OF run and thrills is made possible
through the cooperation of the Ov-
erall Laundry Company, which is
sponsoring its annual outing at the
park and extends an invitation to
the general public to be its guests.
Riverside is extending an invita-
ton to city and out-of-town parties
to avail themselves of the free use
of the parks beautiful picnic groves,
where hundreds of tables and
benches are scattered under the
shade trees and where cool breezes
are always blowing.
Cold, pure water from a deep
driven we'll is available in the grove,
which is situated in the center of
the resort, right in the midst of
the fun. A modern, well-equipped
playground for the children is open
every day without charge.
The three big water rides at Riv-
erSide, the Mill Chutes, the Canals
of Venice and the Water Scooter,
are proving immensely popular this
summer with the park patrons.
while the two mammoth coasters,
the Thriller and the Flash, have
been enjoying a season Of unprece-
dented success.
The two concessions known in
amusement park parlance as walk
throughs,' the Fun Castle and
Tipsytown, are entertaining big
crowds, while the popularity of the
Merry-Go-Round seems never to
wane.
This latter ride, which was pos
sibly the forerunner of all park de-
vices, seems destined, like Tenny-
sons brook, to go on forever as a
joyride for old and young alike.
Happy Times Junior, the baby
monkey which was born on the
Fourth of July, is the pride of the
monkey house, and his cage is a
mecca for park visitors. Peanuts and
root beers are the favorites on
Happy's menu.

cord1ng to a contract signed with
Charles Reagan, representing Para

This contract includes sixty-three
feature productions, 1876 short sub
1ects and los issues of Paramount
News.
Have been asked just how the
Mills Brothers are able to imperson-
ate so many instruments.
Am relying upon Wallace West of
1901 Broadway, New York City and
an authority on things that he
writes, as follows:
There are tricks in all trades but
most curious of all are those in the
trade of the -Four Mills Brothers.
How they achieve limitations of or
cheStral instruments with nothing
but their vocal chords, mouths,
noses and hands long has been a
matter of discussion in the great
world of radio listeners whom thev
have entertained.
The brothers made known some
Of their secrets while working in
Paramount's motion picture, THE
Big Broadcast" but don't try to
initiate them unless you want to
strain your larynx.
John Mills, 81, the eldest, whose
speciality is mimicry of a tuba, ex-
plains: Il manage this by forming
the largest possible room in my
mouth and puckering my lips so
that when the "oompagh" is ready
to come out, it not only has the tone
of the tuba. but also the volume.
Getting close to the microphone
helps"

technique at initiating the trumpet

WHITE ZOMBIE"
is NOW AT PALACE

Around the cutie DIES morris" the
fearful ghoul sorcerers, is laid the
central theme of the sensational
picture, White zombie," which
opened Friday at Loews Palace
Bella Lugosi, who created a name
among the screen immortals in his
now famous role of the vampire in
"Dracula," has the leading role of
the voodoo high priest in this epic
of the screen.
Madge Bellamy returns to the
screen to portray the role of the
victim who falls into the hands of
the high priest and whose fate rests
in his So-called magic.
Joseph CaWthorn adds the light
touch to this supreme achievement,
which was produced by Edward Hal
perrin and directed by Victor Hal
perrin.
Fear of the grave, of being buried
alive, has occurred to most people.
Witness the increase in the num-
Der of cremations reported in the
health statistics of last year.
And the fear is not without rea-
son, if we are to believe the stories
handed down in musty old volumes
that are seldom consulted by the
ordinary person.
Burial alive was not uncommon
in the middle ages, and even down
to the early part of the nineteenth
century there are authenticated
cases of catalepsy, or suspended
animation, where the victims have
been buried for dead, and instances
where discovery has been made
after interment that the life func-
ton had only ceased temporarily.
The secret of the catalepsy ia
kris of India. the Chinese sorcerers,
who by means of magic powders
halt the flow of life for days, and
other cults using suspended ANNA
ton as part of their practices, is
not known. But eye witnesses vouch
for the truth that it still exists.
In the picture, white Zombie, .
Bella Lugosi uses poisonous leaves
of the machineel tree concocted into
a drug as the potion which brings
about the state of suspended ANNA
ton to his victims.
Selected featurettes, comprising
the blance of the program, includes
Hal Roach's "Gang RascalS," in
their newest comedy, "Choo Choo";
Metro Goldwyn Mayors Sport
Cha5pions in an athletic novelty,
Timber Toppers;" Mickey Mouse
cartoon novelty and the most re-
cent issue of the Hearst Metrotone
News.

clarinet and trumpet so that even
expert musicians have been fooled.
Millions of radio fans are. of
course, familiar with the Mills
brothers work over the air, and
though all Of these fans are fully
aware of the fact that there are
but four of them, it is hard to be-
lieve that just four men can pro-
duce music they do 1t is easier to
believe that a large orchestra is
playing.
In Roar Of the Dragon" con-
trasting to the rollicking, light
hearted character he usually por-
trays, Dix is seen as a cynical, dis
illusioned skipper of the Chinese
river service, with little faith in
men and none at all in women.
His boat disabled by Chinese ban
dts, Dix and his varied group of
passengers take refuge in a small
interior village, where they convert
former mandarin's palace into
stOckade.
Here. under fire from the ban
dts and threatened by the plague,
Dix meets and falls in love with
beautiful Russian woman of mys-
terry. Her calm courage, her will
ingness to risk the meanest priva-
ton to remain with him. reiuve-
nate Dix and he changes from a
selfish sluggard to daring leader
of the beleagured refugees.
Supporting Dix is Gwili Andre,
young Danish actress, who created
a sensation in Hollywood. The cast
also includes such well-known play
ers as Edward Everett Horton, Zasu
Pitts, Airline Judge and Dudley
Diggs.
A Paramount sound news reel and
other short features will complete
this program.
