BRIDE WHO DISAPPEARS
MARRIAGE TO MAGICIAN LONDON. July 16. If at a wedding at St. Magdalene’s, Mortlake, this week the bride had suddenly disappeared in a slight puff of blue smoke, nobody would have been greatly surprised. For pretty 25-year-old Doris Morris has been vanishing regularly twice nightly for some months. Now she has married the man who spirits her away —suave young stage magician Howard de Courcy. They met three years ago in a Phyllis Dixey show at the Whitehall Theatre. Doris became de Courcy’s assistant—then, last November, his fiancee. After a honeymoon in Stockholm, the de Courcys will return to the London stage; and, twice nightly. Mrs. de Courcy will climb into her little wicker basket —and vanish.
De Courcy regrets that he cannot undertake to instruct other husbands in this valuable accomplishment.
