Marguerite de la Motte and Miss Florence Vidor, was a recent hostess at a delightful affair given in honor of the nine "Dollar-a-week" men of the First National Exhibitors who won their trip to California and were extensively entertained. The first day of their visit the party were guests aboard the Ince yacht, Edris, sailing over to Catalina Island, where a beautifully appointed dinner was given at the St. Catharine Hotel. Covers were arranged for twenty-five and among the guests were King Vidor, David Butler, John Bowers and John Ray Griffith. Wed at world-wide interest was the recent Fairbanks marriage of Miss Marilynn Miller JJome and Jack Pickford which took place at the palatial Beverly Hills home of Douglas Fairbanks and his wife, Mary Pickford. The bride, best known as the winsome darling of Sally, was given in marriage by her sister, Mrs. John Steele Sweeney. Mary Pickford was matron of honor and other attendants were Mrs. Carrie Carter, mother of the bride's former husband, and Mrs. Allen Forrest, herself a recent bride and pictorially known as Lottie Pickford, sister of the groom and of Mary Pickford. A diminutive member of the bridal party was little Mary Pickford Rupp, daughter of Mrs. Forrest. Victor Herman attended the groom as best man. The nuptial service was read by the Reverend Neal Dodd, pastor of Hollywood's Little Church Around the Corner, in the large drawing-room in the west wing of the Fairbanks residence. Decorators and florists had converted the room into a garden of summer blossoms. There were masses of Cecile Brunner roses and lilies of the valley, tall American Beauties and snapdragons, blue larkspur and colorful dahlias were used in profusion. A wedding bower was formed by a bell-shaped canopy of ferns arranged in the center of the room over an altar decked with an old Austrian scarf before which the couple knelt on a rug of rare Venetian pineapple silk. A string quartette played before the ceremony, and John Steele, a Victor artist and vaudeville star, sang "Oh, Promise Me." 46 By Isabel Yercivai The Flay of the Times of Play People Of exquisite simplicity was the imported gown worn by the bride. White Chantilly lace over a slip of white crepe georgette and silver was fashioned into a tight bodice and long, full skirt, wired out at the hips and falling in irregular lengths, while a cape collar fell below the waistline at the back and formed a surplice in front. She carried a large shower bouquet of white orchids and gardenias. Mrs. Fairbanks, who entered with Mrs. Carter, was the picture of ah adorable Dresden doll in a Paris frock of cream-colored Chantilly lace through the shimmering folds of which could be seen bow-knots of French blue and silver ribbons and wreaths of handmade flowers in pastel shades. With this she wore a fetching lace hat adorned with French flowers, and her hose and satin slippers were of palest green. Mrs. Forrest wore a Parisian gown of Nile green taffeta with a hat to match. A gown of beige-colored net and lace was worn by Mrs. Sweeney, while Mrs. Carter was distinctive in a black gown of Spanish lace over canton crepe and trimmed with moire. Her black picture hat was draped with folds of tulle. Miss Clare Miller, another sister of the bride, was frocked in pink crepe georgette enhanced with duchess lace and wore a large lace hat. Charles Chaplin, prominent among the guests, was first to kiss the bride. The other guests included Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fairbanks, Mr. and Mrs. John Fairbanks and Mrs. Charlotte Pickford, mother of the groom. During the ceremony Lieutenant C. H.
