Public Wedding (Warner Bros.) (1937)

PAGE 8—‘“PUBLIC WEDDING’—PUBLICITY Wedding In Garden Ideal For Summer Jane Wyman, Lovely Young Star of ‘Public Wedding’ Advocates Garden Ceremony ‘Tf you’re going to be married this summer, have your wedding in the garden,’’ says Jane Wyman, charming little brunette starlet who plays the leading role in ‘‘Public Wedding’’, the current feature attraction at the....... Theatre. “A garden is the perfect setting for any bride, whether the nuptials are to be on the grand scale with hundreds of guests, or just for the benefit of the immediate family.” A garden wedding will solve most of the problems that usually confront the bride. Floral decorations won’t be necessary, because they’re already growing in the garden. You'll have plenty of room to seat your guests without moving all the furniture out of the house. And if you set the hour at just a little after sunset, there’ll be no air-cooling problem. “Ror a garden wedding, you’ll dress a little more simply than you would for a church or hotel ceremony,” says Miss Wyman. “One of the most charming frocks I have seen this season is of white batiste, eyelet embroidered, with an upstanding collar of petals. Worn with an organdie halo, and a short veil, it is the perfect frock for an outdoor wedding.” Flower colors are appropriate for the bridesmaids in this type of ceremony. Pink, larkspur blue, Jeaf green, and violet will blend into a lovely rainbow setting, and can be earried out in net or silk organza, with matching hats. Your bridesmaids will appreciate being able to wear the colors which suit them best, too. Flowers for the bride should harmonize with the _ setting— roses and lily of the valley or daisies and forget-me-nots. For the bridesmaids — shoulder cor Bridesmaid Marie Wilson, charming blonde this shell pink chiffon dress in her role as bridsemaid in “Public Wedding,” the current feature attraction at the Theatre. The hip-length tunic is fashioned of rows of shirring and the cape is trimmed with bands of the same. Silver nail heads stud the wide silver kid belt. Mat No. 101—10c starlet, wears sages of garden flowers. And while we’re on the subject of bridesmaids, how about commemorating your garden wedding by giving each of them one of the new compacts which has a flower made of semi-precious stones on the cover? Another convenient feature of the outdoor wedding is that your garden will accomodate all the extra guests who are invited to the reception. Buffet tables set on the lawn takes care of supper without too much fuss. Your menu should be a little simpler than it would be otherwise— salads, sandwiches and ices forming the main part of it. And your wedding cake can carry out the garden motif by decorating it with fresh flowers. “A word about your trousseau,” says Miss Wyman. “Remember that summer is a very short fashion season, and that you’re not likely to need more than four or five costumes to fill out your wardrobe. The wise bride will save a good half of her trousseau money for the fall clothes she’ll want before long.” A going-away costume, second only in importance to the bridal frock, is a necessity of course, and for this, Miss Wyman suggests a tailored linen suit in burgundy or navy, worn with a frivolous little handmade blouse, that belies the severity of the suit. A few street dresses, one of them accompanied by a full-length sheer redingote, one, two, or three evening frocks, aceording to your needs, and plenty of sport clothes, so that you ean show off your tennis, golf and swimming prowess to the best advantage for your new husband. And if you’re going to travel, don’t forget to include one dark lounging robe among your filmy negligees. Gray and Pink Outfit Marie Wilson, seen tea-ing at the Brown Derby recently, was wearing a gray flannel jacket polka-dotted with pink yarn like a candlewick bedspread. Her hat and ascot scarf were pink, but her skirt and other accessories were gray. Miss Wilson will be seen on the screen in “Public Wedding” which comes to the Sic ee Theatre on Three Wedding Gowns The elaborate wedding costume that Jane Wyman wears in “Public Wedding,” the Warner Bros. farce which opens next Senta SR at the :........ Theatre, had to be made in triplicate as Jane destroys two of them climbing fences in the “chase” scenes. “Fishwife”’ Skirts New They call them “fishwife” skirts because they’re supposed to be like the ones the Dutch wives of fishermen wear, but Marie Wilson, blonde Warner player, looks like anything but a fishwife in her pleated peasant skirt of pale blue challis. With it she wears a soft white cashmere sweater and a pale blue calot to match the skirt. You’ll be seeing Marie soon in “Public Wedding” which comes to the eee ene Theatre, on Petite Jane Wyman, star of “Public Wedding,” wears this exquisite bridal frock of white slipper satin handshirred over the bosom. The angelic little halo studded with seed pearls holds the fine silk net veil. Mat No. 202—20c Hot Weather Menus Should Be Tempting Marie Wilson Divulges Some Of Her Own Favorite Summer Recipes—Favors Fruit Dishes Summer’s a good time to stay out of the kitchen as much as possible. Still healthy appetites continue during July and August, so what’s to be done about it? Marie Wilson, little blonde player who is featured in ‘‘Public Wedding”’ now at the summer meal problem. Miss Wilson is one of the new generation of movie actresses who gets a good deal of pleasure out of her home life and she’s just as capable in the kitchen as she is on the studio set. “During warm weather,” she says, “you should plan your meals with an eye to quick preparation and tempting-looking dishes. It takes a little thought, but results will more than repay you.” Take advantage of what the market has to offer in the way of fresh fruits and vegetables. At no other time of the year are the farmer’s products so plentiful or so cheap. Here’s Marie Wilson’s favorite dinner menu calculated to put zest into a warm July eve ning: Melon ball cup, jellied con somme, roast saddle of baby lamb, parsley potatoes, broccoli with hollandaise sauce, garden salad, fruit shortcake, iced coffee. “For the melon ball cup, use at least three varieties of melon. Watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew are all at their best at this season. Prepare this a few hours before serving, then chill. Here are Miss Wilson’s directions for preparing the saddle of lamb: “Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper and place in a very hot oven for about thirty minutes (during which time, you go out and sit on the verandah and keep cool), then reduce the oven’s heat to medium. Meanwhile, place some white bread crumbs, finely ground with plenty of butter in a pan and shake pan over a hot fire to brown the crumbs. Then add a handful of finely chopped shallots and parsley. Pour all these ingredients over the roast and leave in oven till tender.” For the salad, the more vegetables the merrier. Radishes, Theatre, offers a solution to the watercress, cucumbers, scallions, green peppers, tomatoes, carrots, endive, and any other greens your market has to offer, can all be accomodated. Marinate the salad with French dressing an hour or before serving, and chill. Shorteake should be short—in Miss Wilson’s opinion. Biscuit dough baked till brown, then split and buttered is the perfect foundation for it. Strawberries, fresh peaches, or pineapple are all good with it, and should be thoroughly chilled before using. Sift a little powdered sugar into the cream before you whip it, and you'll find that it gets stiff much more quickly. Fold some of the chilled fruit into the cream, and use the rest as a garnish. Lace Hose for Dancing Those waltz-length evening dresses are making the Hollywood girls more hose-conscious than ever. Jane Wyman, petite brunette starlet featured in “Public Wedding,” has special hose to go with her new black shadow-lace dress. The hose not only have lace toe-tips, but a lace insertion across the front of the ankle. Jane Wyman Wears Bolero The new way to disguise a sunback dress when one isn’t in the sun is by the addition of a bolero. Jane Wyman, who is featured in “Public Wedding” now at the Theatre, and whose smooth coppery suntan is a delight to see, wears a contrasting bolero over her backless sports dresses. She tops a white shantung with cherry red pique bolero and uses Roman stripes over a black linen. Picnic Time Has Arrived Jane Wyman Says Bride Should Take Advantage of It “Let’s have a picnic” is a byword in most families during the summer months. And why not? Pienic food is much simpler to prepare than a regular meal, and it’s lots more fun to eat. And don’t forget that a picnic in the back yard may be just as much fun as one which comes at the end of a three hour ride. Jane Wyman, who plays the leading role in “Public Wedding,” the feature attraction at the Blin sae Theatre, advises brides to take advantage of the “pienic months”. Says Miss Wyman, “Your inexperience won’t be nearly so apparent if you concentrate on new and exciting sandwich fillings, as it will be if you try to cook seven full course dinners a week.” Here are some tempting sandwich recipes which Jane has worked out herself in her own Squares—spread one square of Hollywood kitchen: Orange Squares — spread one square of whole wheat bread with cream cheese, on the other put a lettuce leaf and a slice of peeled orange, and sprinkle with chopped mint leaves; Cucumber Fingers: Place lengthwise slice of cucumber on a long strip of buttered white bread. “Dinner served on the porch or terrace can be a picnic if you treat it that way,’ Miss Wyman tells us. “One hot casserole dish, a salad and dessert will take the place of an elaborate dinner, when spiked by a_ cool. garden breeze.” For the casserole, she suggests ham and scalloped potatoes, a simple but filling meal in itself. To prepare it, you place a thick slice of ham steak! in the bottom of your casserole, and pour a little milk over it, arrange your potato slices on top of that, garnish with a generous sprinkling of cheese.
