MISS DOROTHY BIEBERICH MARRIES DONALD BIENZ One of the prettiest of the spring weddings was solemnized Sunday , afternoon at three-fifteen o’clock in ; the Zion Lutheran church when Miss Dorothy Bieberich, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bieberich of I I South Sixth street, became the ) bride of Emil Bienz, son of Mr. I I and Mrs. Adam Bienz of Union township. The Rev. Paul W. Schultz, .pastor cf the church, received the vows in a double ring ceremony in the chancel of the church, before an altar of Hilles and feme. Preceding the ceremony. Mrs. Paul W. Schultz gave a fifteen-min-1 ute musicale including "Berceuse" 1 y Benjamin Godard and "Voix Celeste” by Batiste.

as much at home as a Dresden china shepherdess in a shooting gallery. With a sly grin, Director James Hogan Instructs Joan how to load a nlie which she must pass on to Robert Cummings, crouched beside her In the wagon box. "And you'll have to take the polish off yoar nails." he comments dryly. While Joan is doing this, an assistant director reloads Cummings' gun with shells containing a onefourth charge of powder. If they used a full charge, the microphone would pick up sue*- echoes that the actors would have to wait five seconds after each shot before they spoke a line of dialogue. Now the scene is ready to go. The Indians, lolling on the backs of their ponies, are told to throw away their clgarets. Bearded defenders are moved farther from Miss Bennett because the sound of shots frighten her. Then the attack is on. Indians careening by, firing at the wagons, some of them taking fancy falls. . . . White men answering. . . . Regular old time movie stuff. In the midst of the excitement, Joan forgets to blow the smoke out. of the rifle barrel, but manages to go through the motions of loading the gun. When Hogan yells cut, she looks up at the lot of us grinning at her from behind the camera. She shrugs. "Buck Bennett rides again, she says. We don’t see the shot, but they

The maid of honor wore a gown of powder blue mousseline de soue : fashioned with a full skirt, with 1 lace Insertions, a bolero jacket with ; ■ehort puffs of Briarcliff roses. I The groom and his attendants i wore dark blue suits with black i silk ties and white buttonleres. After the ceremony a dinner was neld at the home of the bride’s parents for twenty-five guests, followed with a reception in the evening for elghty-flve guests. The dining table was centered with a three tiered wedding cake with candelabra at either end. Large hampers of spring flowers were used in the decorations. S-mall corsages marked the place of each guest at the din-, tier. The groom is employed at the Decatur Casting company.

tell us May Robson was almost as funny lying on her stomach in the dirt and firing a rifle at the 1 savages. May plays the owner of 1 a ranch, which is amusing because 1 she is terribly afraid of cattle. I "You know,” she says, "they just look at me as If they didn’t ’ like me." All the studios are going in for rugged melodrama. At Warner j Brothers, we watch Director William Keighley shoot a scene in a , gambling house for "Valley of the Giants”. This story already has ' served Wallace Reid and Milton ' Sills as a starring vehicle. Now. ! Wayne Morris plays the hero. But Morris is not in this partic- ■ ular scene. It is a shot of Jack La Rue and Claire Trevor at a dice table, i Jack runs the game, Claire is a I percentage girl. 1 The set is filled with 1902 bar--1 room types. The extras are really enjoying themselves because most 1 of them are playing cards. In silent picture days, extras always played cards between ! scenes. Now the guild frowns on it during working hours. Every year, it becomes less fun [ making movies. ■ In a scene for “Spawn of the ■ North”, Dorothy Lamour has traded her

WINTER WHEAT OUTLOOK HIGH — Experts Predict Largest Winter Wheat Crop Since 1931 Chicago, May 3 (U.R) America's “big four" of private crop experts today reported that April snows, rain and sleet storms, Instead of destroying a large portion of the winter wheat crop, increased prospects for the biggest crop since 1931. Increases In surface and subsoil moisture have furthered crop growth so far that today the aver- ; age of their estimates for winter wheat production was placed at 743,000,000 bushels This was an Increase of 26,000,000 bushels over | the outlook 30 days ago. On April 1 the average estimate was placed at 717.000.000 bushels, a seven-year high, but out-of-season snows, sleet storms and even I "dusters" struck the southwest | winter wheat belt, bringing fear that a large part of the harvest | would be destroyed. But today the four individual ! estimates ranged from the 730,01)0,- ; 000 forecast by B. W. Snow to I 771,000,000 bushels predicted by Nat C. Murray. The estimates: Nat C. Murray ... 771,000,000 H. C. Donovan ... 745,000.000 7 R. O. Cromwell ... 738,000.000 B. W. Snow 730.000,000. In addition, Mrs. E. H. Miller predicted last Saturday that the ■ crop would reach 719,000,000 and the firm of Bennett & Co. esti- | mated the crop at 755,000,000 bushels. Today's estimated yield is 120,000,000 bushels greater than the five year average of 1928-1932 when an annual crop of around 623,000,000 bushels was harvested. Although heavy damage was reported from frosts, and other blasts of nature in sections of Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas, good rains since April 1 increased prospects in other sections of the winter
