Casting has been completed and rehearsals ! have been under way for weeks. The story concerns the hilarious adventures of Sir James Fenton ! (Dave Walker), a wealthy English- man, and his beautiful bride-to-be, lEthel Campion, portrayed by a | real-life bride-to-be, Pat Peterson. Because their plane is wrecked near a lonely wireless station on the coast of Labrador, they are forced to accept hospitality of one Dascom Dinsmore, the operator, (Don Pe- gues) and his native servant Kimo (Dave Minard). ‘The presence of Rev. Shapham (Dick Peter) decides Sir James to being jilted a third time. The ar- rival of Dinsmore’s fiancee, Clara Wilson (Alice Riley), who is also very willing to be married at once, provides a perfect opportunity for | the cleric to perform a double wed- | ding. Failure of these plans, as well as those of Sir James and Ethel to escape; a formal dinner party in the rude wireless hut and a South | Sea “hula” by two Eskimo girls, are only a few of the many opportuni- Pickel, John Schnabel, W.
