JEANETTE MACDONALD
MARRIAGE TO GENE RAYMOND (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) HOLLYWOOD, June 16. Jeanette Macbonald declined to discuss the arrangements for her wedding to-night to Gene Raymond, asserting: "It is bad luck to tell such things."
The police revealed that it would be a lavish affair in a fashionable church on the Wilshire Boulevard, the city's busiest thoroughfare. A hundred police have been ordered for patrol duty at the church, and the traffic is to be diverted in the vicinity.
It is predicted that? 10,000 uninvited quests will be there. More than twice that number ' man-handled Miss Banky and Rod la Roque in 1927, and tore off their clothing as souvenirs, for which reason virtually all Hollywood weddings since then have been private. The bridal attendants include Fay Wray and Ginger Rogers, and the ushers Harold Lloyd and Cyril Rathbone. SPECTACULAR WEDDING HOLLYWOOD, June 17. (Received June 18, at 1 a.m.) The marriage occurred without mishap and will go down in history as Hollywood's most spectacular wedding. It was attended by over 100 kinema notables and cost 25,000 dollars. It was the essence of formality, with white-globed ushers, long, pink ribbon down the aisles, candles and 1000 roses. The bride's elaborate gown was flesh pink mouseline over taffeta of the same colour.
The services were opened with Nelson Eddy, who was Miss MacDonald's co-star in several movies, singing " I Love You Truly."
There was wild excitement outside the church and a police squad was frequently powerless to control the surging crowd, which cheered the guests.
