ROSY THEATRE. “VIRGINIAN” AND HIS SWEET- , HEART MARRY. Within a stone’s throw of the spot where he shot Trampas in “Tho Virginian,” Gary Cooper stood up for a motion picture wedding with Mary Brian, his sweetheart of the Wister story, as the bride. The wedding, an elaborate military affair, was filmed for “Only the Brave,” Cooper’s newest starring picture for Paramount, now at the Kosy Theatre with “Honour Among Lovers.” It was held in the quaint church which stands at one end of the old-fashion-ed country village on the Paramount ranch. The bride wore a white ivory satin gown trimmed with real lace and festooned with orango blossoms. Cooper was attired in tho dress uniform of a Civil War period cavalry captain. As they left the church, the film bride and groom passed under an arch of swords formed by uniformed officers. Tho picture, which brings Cooper and Miss Brian together again, is an ad-venture-romance of Civil War days, in which the star portrays a cavalry officer who volunteers for spy duty behind the Confederate lines. Phillips Holme's, Virginia Bruce, Morgan Farley, James Neill and Guy Oliver aro among the supporting players. BIOGRAPHY OF CLAUDETTE COLBERT.

RUTH CIIATTERTON INSPIRES DRAMATIC HIT. “Unfaithful.” writen by tho popular playwright, John van Druton, starring Ruth Chnterton, comes to the Regent today. This amazing story of a woman forced to choose between lovo and reputation takes every advantage of Chatterton’s blazing genius to put across an emotional story such as even Chatterton has seldom equalled. "Unfaithful,” tho story, was written especially for Chatterton by John van Druten, the English playwright, whoso “Young Woodley” won him fame and a first prize on tho New York stage. Into the story van Druten has injected an action series of climaxes worthy of Chattorton’s power. As the ccntrcpioco of a brilliant society whirl, Ruth Chatterton is seen in a glamorous sotting, in gorgeous clothes, a woman madly in love with the hero-husband fate has given her, assured in her position. All the more surprising is the transformation one startling incident works in this beautiful heroine. Disillusioned in love, with her ideals smashed, she is helpless to free herself of the fetters of a marriage which has become intolerable. Then, as the' scandal-daring and reckless woman ..of tho world. Chatterton truly reveals ;her unequalled powor of portrayal. Rash living, foolish loving, this aristocratic girl -touches tho heights and depths of a thrill-mad society. At the heights > she meets Paul Lukas, to give her a new faith and add a new meaning to her life. How they, together, work out her salvation is tho absorbing story “unfaithful” reveals. “Unfaithful” is tho third Chatterton ..starring Paramount vehicle in which Lukas has played the leading male role. He was seen in “Tho Better Wife” and “The Right to . Love” so advantageously r and played his difficult roles with such skill that a popular demand gave him this third opportunity to play with Chatterton. Tho brilliant star and virile director, Johi Cromwell, have made a picture of sustained power. In addition the cast includes Paul Cavanagh, seen as the' erring husband.
