ALL LONDON HALTS DURING CEREMONY AT ROYAL WEDDIN (Continued Jromn Tirst Page) tho guests, who had to be in their places b; ten-thirty o'clock, was the Arst reward for the occupants of the Rally-fNlagged stands and others who shouldered together about the eelor- fully decorated Abbey area. Oni. motors and carriages hearing tieket-holders were permitted to pass tho police lines, The conveyances put down at the Abhey doors streams of gorgeously gowned women, myrinds of diwmonds, napphires and other pre- clous stones flashing from thelr tiar- fas, neckinces and bracelets, 'Their escorts were resplendent in service dress or the velvet breeches, white #lik stockings and three cornered hats of the court regalin, Deauty and Tlegance. It was n scene of beauty and ele- #ance, Members of the diplomatic corps were shown their seats by the master of ceremonies. Outside Buckingham palace and a few moments later about the Abbey, guards of honor took up their posi- tions, forming a line in front of the police, thelr tall fur shakos and scar- let and white uniform® making a brilliant spectacle of the mile and a half of thoroughfare. Two thousand of the king's life guardsmen and territorials were par- aded for this duty. With them were their four bands. which entertained the crowds until, at eleven o'clock, trumpeting from the mounted escort heralded the departure of the two carriages from Marlborough House carrying Queen Mother Alexandra and Princess Victoria. The Royal Salute. Alexandra was awarded a modicum of applause and cheering which the crowds were reserving for the bride. As the carriage rolled by to the jangle of spurs and clatter of hoofs, the guardsmen snapped to “present” giv- ing the royal salute, and the bands blared the Queen Mother's anthem. There was a one minute interlude; then from Buckingham Palace at the end of the Mall trundled the three carriages of Queen Mary, the Duke of York and Princes Henry and Gegorge with their equerries and attendants. Tumultuous Applause Cheers for these members of the royal family had scarcely abated along the elbowing masses, now tip- toeing in their eagerness and expect- ancy, from that portion of the route nearest the Palace dooryard they swelled to a deafening crescendo as the gilded glass coaching bearing the| Prin J Mury and her father rumbled through the hronze gates. Before the coach and the two trall es bringing the prine walting and the king's at- tendants had reached the entrance to the Mall, the cheering had mpread | half way down the troop-'ined avenue| The bunds rendition of “Gogd Save the King" was unheard in the wild tumult ‘I'he sound of the hoofs of the team of bays drawing the historic Irish State coach and those of the sover- cign's mounted escort also were drowned in the cries and applause, The coach, which derives its name from the palnce where it was built, has o high seat with spaclous glass sldes through which the features of the Princess and the King were easily | discernible even by those at a con- slderable distance' and is surmounted by a gilded crown. Arrival on Schedule Owing to the rehearsals of the de- parture of these three carriage pro- cossions, their arrivals at the west door of the Abbey were timed to a nicety and accorded an almost unin- terrupted file of the principal parti- cipants, Members of the royal family who were not included in the carriage processions assembled outside the Ab- bey shortly after eleven o'clock where they greeted Alexandra and, a few minutes later, the second party, con- sisting of the Duke of York and Princes Henry and George. The dean of Westminster recelved them and to the strains of Sir Hubert Parry's bridal march, faintly heard from the interior of the Abbey, thqy were conducted by gentlemen ushers down the aisle and around the Un- known Warrior's grave, between rows of guests standing in phalanxes, tier above tier, on either side, to their places in the Sacrarium. Viscount Lascelles Arrives Viscount Lascelles, accompanied by his groomsman, Major Sir Victor Audley MacKenzie, D. 8. O. arrived at the Posts corner door of the Abbey and was conducted to the seat reserv- ed for him at the south side of the steps leading to the sacrarium by one of their Majesties ‘“‘Gentlemen Ush- ers.” He, with the rest of the assemblage stood until the royal party reached the places assigned them. Officiating Clergymen The officlating clergymen, the Arch- bishops of Canterbury and York, the bishops of London and Oxford, and Canon Maurice Lascellés, the bride- grooms uncle, wearing copes, as- sembled in the Jerusalem Chamber of the Abbey and moved to their places in the Sacrarium, the voluntary being played as they moved up the Nave. Meanwhile a storm of cheering out- side proclaimed the arrival of the bride and the king.

BLUEF % FRESH | | C(imy down NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY Truly a Princess Mary stepped from her coach— truly a Princess In her fairylike gown, combining the gleam of silver, the of tulle, the sparkle of beads, the dull sheen of pearls, and the exquisite colorings of satin and old lace, against which contrasted the wonderful four and a half yard train with its sllk embroldery and crystal work, The pearl vel!, thrown back from her face over a triple diadem of twisted silver and orange blossoms, revealed the demure features of the princess, On her drive from the palace the bridal gown had been cloaked in a rich ermine wrap. The dean recelved the party. “Lead Us, Heavenly Iather,” was played as the bridal procession moved up the Nave, headed by household officials, the state chamberlain, the deans, canons and choir, the matter com- prising 44 boys and 22 men. Then came the bride on the king's arm followed by the bridesmaids, the ladles in waliting and king's suite, Ceremony Begins. It was about 11:30 o'clock when the solemn service, performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury assisted by the Archbishop of York and the Dean and Precentor of the Abbey, began. The sixty-seventh psalm was chant- ed and the anthem “Beloved, 1ot Us Love One Another,” was sung during the service."” Royal Bridesmaids. During the ceremony the bride car- ried an exquisitely bound pink serv- ice book, a gift from the queen. The royal bridesmaids were: Princess Maud, Tady Rachel Cavendish, Lady Mary Thynne, Lady Victoria Mary Cambridge, Lady Dorls Gordon-Len- nox, Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, Lady Diana Bridgeman and Lady May Cambridge. The ceremony ended, the bishop of Canterbury addressed people, saying in part: Archbishop's Address. “It seems probable that no daugh- ter of a reigning king was ever until today' married in the Abbey. Cer- tainly no marriage ever occugred here under conditions quite like yours. The war time party created them. “Each of you in the grim war years found new opportunities and used them. When the fibre of British manhood was being tested day by day in shell-swept trench and on bare hillside, you, my brother, did much more than stand the test. “Such testing, such equipment can make good itself. No call of that kind, no necessity on that scale please God, will come again in your life time. To those who are worthy of it, peace, too, brings its privileges in central places. “To you, my child, the war days of your girlhood brought occasion for glad service, Experiences, however simple, in a hospitatl ward can give an abiding stimulus to one who cares. In that effort, as also in the lead ship of disciplined English girlhood, you have gained thought and know- ledge which you will now contribute to securing the strength, orderliness and sunshine ‘of a great English home. “Pogether you will st yourselves tor this. Happiness in home life, even when it is blessed like yours with high traditions is not a matter of course. It has its roots in mutual love which is tender and thoughtful in resource, unselfish in devotion, but brave and unreserved in its honesty of mutual counsel. So you may to- gether go from strength to strength. “The power so to do must come from on high. We are, here this morning as Christians; our fealty and your fealty are pledged to the living God. The center, the inspiration, the master in the home is Jesus Christ, our Lord. It is in his name that with gladness of heart and buoyancy of hope we today, on behalf of the whole empire and pecple, bid you Godspeed." Sign the Registers. The bride and bridegroom then passed to Fdward the Confessor chapel, where two registers were signed—One known as the Royal register, in which the entry of today's ceremony occupied six pi ., and the other the Abbey register, which is signed alike by royalty and subjects. Mary used a gold quill pen, one of her wedding gifts. The signing com- pleted, the bridal march from ‘““Romeo and Jullet,” and Mendelssohn wedding march were played. The bride and bridegroom stepped down the Abbey to the west door, preceded by the choir and clergy and followed by the bridesmaids. The clergy moved off to the Jerusalem chamber, as cheers, reawakened by the appearance of the united couple in the doorway, rever- berated through the edifice, Back to Palace. The king and queen and other members of the roval family moved toward the door and the new viscoun- tess and her husband began their tri- umphal return through the tumultu- ous strect throngs to Buckingham palace. The king and queen and other royal personages quickly fol- lowed and the wedding hreakfast was served there to a company of about one hundred and seventy persons, in- cluding the Royal family and reio- tives and closest friends, A feature of this was the cutting of a gigantic five hundred pound wedding cake, made in five tiers, standing nearly Arch- the iseven feet in height, the ingredients of which were sent especially from the various parts of the British Empire. Honeymoon Special. Princess Mary’'s “Honeymoon spe- cial” was prepared to leave London with the bride and groom for Shif- nal, Shropshire, at four o'clock this afternoon. The railway officials have arranged a non-stop journey, the 136 miles be- ing covered at an average speed of between fifty and sixty miles an hour, and the train only slowing down at important centers to let the crowd obtain a fleeting glimpse of the | couple. “Princcss Mary' is the name of the locomotive assigned to draw the train, which consists of the Queen’s salon and two other carriages from the Royal train. It is planned to have no other occupants aboard the train except the couple’s maid and valet, and railway officials. Village Crowded. The little village of Shifnal is dense- ly crowded with visitors and wight- seers from 'surrounding districts, and the station has been gaily decorated. It has been arranged that the young- est “Mary” in Shifnal shall present a bouquet to the Princess immediately the latter has alighted from the train. Along the five mile route from the Shifnal station to Weston Park, the residence of the Farl of Bradford, where the couple will spend the first ~ I~ Munch LFE SAVERs CANDY MINT WITH THE HOLE At the MOVIES And after MEALS Millions eaten Monthly Pep-O-mint Wint-O-green Cinn-O-mon Lic-O-rice Cl-O-ve (Watch for the Alphabetical Ads.) part of their honeymoon, a guard of honor formed of ex-service men will be stationed. A suite of rooms in Weston Hall has been set aside especially for the couple's use, The princess's houdoir is finished in sage green and gold and in it is much old china, principally Dresden. Just before the bride Abbey the crowds became so dense in Parliament street that the police had great difficulty in maintaining their cordon. Dozens of women and chil- dren fainted and had to he safety, afterwards being removed from the scene in ambulances, Tribute To the Dead. As she passed the cenotaph in White Hall on the return from West- | minster Abbey after the Princess Mary reached from the ca dow and handed out a bou- quet which a sergeant major grasped and placed on the cenotaph a trib- ute from the princess to Great Brit- ain's dead in the war. Soon after their return to Bucking- ham Palace, the couple appeared on the balcony over the central arch ef the Palace, to the delight of the en- ormous crowd gathered there, which cheered the pair for several minutes. ceremor City ltems Meet me al Schm rr's for dinner, - t Al Minard's Jazzeteers of Bridge- port at Bardeck's tonight.——advt.

During the season of 1921 he was with the Ringling Brothers Circus. When the season opened, he was rather worriec about his condition.
