Opera House

Now Showing: The Funniest Entertainment Imaginable, ‘ Quiet Wedding,” starring Margaret Lockwood and Derek Farr. “QUIET WEDDING.” Paramount’s hilarious and frisky comedy, “Quiet Wedding,” is that in name only, and does not rely merely upon a photographic reproduction or a family circle thrown into the customary turmoil on the day before the wedding of the youngest daughter. Not to say that the picture is i rowdy, .but the wedaing that was planned as a quiet affair by two young people suddenly develops into an avalanche of presents, and a maelstrom of well-wishers.-In a country village of England, where everyone knows everyone else, it was not to be expected that one of the fairest daughters could sneak I off and deprive all the village of the pageant of a marriage. So the hilarity of pre-marriage days is something that you will chuckle over when you see “Quiet Wedding,” the Paramount comedy, starring Margaret Lockwood and Derek Farr, now showing at the Opera House. “Quiet Wedding” proves to be not only one of the most delightful and entertaining of comedies, but the characters have been built with the assurance of touch that carries conviction. There are unlimited. situations, both wise and witty, in dialogue and treatment, and against the background of feverish activity prior to the type of wedding,so dear to every family, there is presented the problem of a highly strung girl in an unusual and interesting light. The supporting players include Marjorie Fielding, A. E. Matthews, Margaretta Scott, Peggy Ashcroft, Athene Seyler, Jean Cadell, Frank Cellier and Hay Petrie.
