The struggles and trials of a young minstrel in his rise to fame are told in words and on the screen. The supports cover a wide range, from short speeches by European men of mark to scenes at the court of the boy Sultan of Morocco, in pagan pomp and glitter, Ashing with torches by night in Hawaii, and stunts at ice-sports. “The Moon Bride’s Wedding” la a sketch of the romance of the Red Indians’ lives. “Scrappily Married” is a comedy.
