Zahn oWluntington, became the .bride of Private First Class Raymond E. Gass, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond O. Gass, also of Huntington. The Rev. Robert J. Zahn, brother of the bride, officiated. (Preceding the ceremony Eugene Wall, organist, presented a fifteen-minute musicals.

Curt Massey, the United States soon will have the biggest German army in the world. Paramount made an awful mistake taking Alan Ladd and "The Blue Dahlia” company on location near a beach high school. The kids found Alan’s car, a convertible, and covered the top with scribblings in everything from pencils to lip-stick. There was an assortment of names, telephone numbers and "I Love You, Alans, ’ but the topper was, "If you could only sing like Frankie.” Chill Wills went to lunch at the M-G-M commissary in a goshawful suit that he wears in "The Harvey Girls.” James Craig, who’s working in "Dangerous Partners,' 5 let out a groan. “Get away from me, Chill,” he said. "In that terrible suit you have on.” Wills shifted from one foot to the other. "Well,” he drawled, "at least, it’s in an A picture.” As R-K-O’s "Bride Bjl Mistake” shows around the fighting fronts, it’s bringing nostalgic letters to Mary Pickford from all over the world. The big mansion shown in the film was Pickfair (Mary rented it to R-K-0 for a location and gave the money to the Assistance league). So far, the house has been recognized by Mary’s cousin, R. C. A. F. Flight Officer John Mantley, in Europe; her nephew, Sgt. Bert Rupp, in the South Pacific, and the son of a neighbor, Sgt. Bill Krisel, in China.
