Marie Lohr’s Marriage.

An interestii’jg theatrical wedding was celebrated at St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields, London, on August 8. the -bride being Miss Marie Lohr, the popular young Australian actress, and daughter of Mr nnd Mrs Lohr, the latter well known both in England and in the Antipodes as Miss Kate Bishop. The bridegroom was Mr Anthony I’rinsep, second son of the late Mr Vai I’rinsep. It.A.

The wedding was an extremely pretty one. The church was decorated with white lilies in stately rows and masses, while over all climbed wild profusions of pink rambler roses. Hie pillars of the chancel entrance looked like the entrance to the rose garden of a country mansion.

Miss Lohr made a charming bride in her white satin and lace gown. Trails of orange blossom were arranged on the long train among folds of Malines lace, and on the upper part of the robe pearls were lightly powdered. I’e.arls and diamond ornaments completed the bridal toilette. The three bridesmaids —Miss Edna Arnold, Miss Kitty Bishop and Miss Maudsley—wore white dresses of crepe de chine and chiffon with broad pink sashes. They carried bouquets of roses, and each wore the bridegroom’s present of a -platinum pendant with “M.A.P." worked in diamonds in the centre.

The big church was crammed with relatives and friends of the bride and groom, including the “cream” of the theatrical and art worlds. After the ceremony, which was conducted by the Bev. Boyd-Carpenter, .assisted by the Bev. Thomas O'Reilly, rose leaves were thrown over the bride, who laughed happily as she left the church. Mrs Lohr held a reception at Prince's Restaurant after the wedding, and later in the day Mr and Mrs Anthony I’rinsep left London for the Continent, where the honeymoon will be spent.

Miss Lohr—to use the name by which we shall still know her best—will not forsake the stage —at any rate for some time to come —having entered into a contract to appear in “ Doormats,” which is to be the next production at Wyndham’s Theatre. .She is a great favourite in theatrical circles, and received some very fine gifts on her marriage. Prince Albert of Schleswig-Holstein, the Duchess of Sutherland. Mr and Mrs McKenna. Sir George and Lady Alexander, and Sir Herbert and Lady Tree sent handsome presents, and the staff at the Duke of York's Theatre presented the bride with a silver aftornoon tea tray.

Miss Lohr, it will be remembered, was at one period said to be engaged, or about to become engaged, to Mr Robert Lorraine. the famous actor-aeronaut. She, however, it was stated, sought to make it a condition of their 'betrothal that he should abandon the pursuit of fame in the air. Mr Lorraine, it is alleged, refused to submit to having his wings clipped by Cupid, and as Miss Lohr declined to alter her mind on the sub ject of aviation, the parlies mutually agreed to part.
