PLANS ANNOUNCED ‘FOR RADIO WEDDING ‘Wendall Hall-Marian M. Martin Ceremonies Will Be Heard by Millions. Standing in the phyrical presence of only three other people, a clergy- man and their attendants, Miss Ma- rian M. Martin, young newspaper ‘woman of Chicago, and Wendall Hall, known throughout the country after his recent brosdcasting tour as the “Red-he ded Music Master,” techni- cally will have at lesst four million guests at their wedding June 4. Their gesponses to the officiating clergymag’s solemn queries will carry through the microphones of at least four broadcasting stations, the actual ceremony taking placg in the sumptuous studio of station WEAF in New York City. The principals in dented wedding are insistent that the ceremony be as quiet and as devold of semsation by way of reporters, Photographers and a naturally curi ous public as if it were being con- ducted in the bride's home, “Our wedding will not be broad- cast because either of us is especially prominent,” Hall states modestly. “That is not the iden. XNo. sir. There are hundreds of thousands of folks whom 1 fecl almost are personal friends, folks I've been singing along : at stretched for nearly 4,000 miles. They all heard this unprece- me singing directly to Miss Martin | R back in Chicago from whatever sec- tion of the country I happened to be | in. Our courtship in a way has been broadcast for the last four month: People seemed to realize it somehow, for they wrote to me by the thou- sands—wrote intimately, just like long-time friends. Lots of them sent foolish little things to me. I like them all. And, because we feel them to be our friends, it seems natural to want to have tham all at our wed- ding.” Miss Martin_will be attended by Miss Dorothy Fullerton, daughter of Hugh Fullerton, feature writer and sports authority. “Tom" Campbell. former Yale track team captain and crack 600-yard sprinter, will be Mr. [N Hall's best’ man. Mr. Hall is resting at his home in Chicago after the strain of a four- month tour of stations. It is likely that he will be heard from a Chicago station in the lnterim before hig wed- ng.
