THE CIVIC THEATRE “THEY JUST HAD TO GET MARRIED” “Oh dear, my. . . oh, is he going to undress her right here?” Well, what would you think if you were the hostess at a sedate party and the shadow on a glass door leading to a balcony plainly showed a man In the act of removing a woman’s stockings? That is exactly what ZaSu Pitts wonders, and that is why she asks the startled question of Reland Young, with whom she is conversing in the drawing room. But if she had only realised at the time that the man whoso shadow she saw was her husband, Slim Summerville: And if Young had known that the woman was Verrce Teasdale, the blonde married charmer with whom he himself was then carrying on an affair! But they found it out later and then the fireworks began. This is one of the amusing situations in “They Just Had to Get Married,” the hilarious Universal comedy which will be finally screened at the Civic Theatre this afternoon and evening, with Slim Summerville and Miss Pitts in the starring roles.
