Cupid Sways Lovers Across Seas Courts and Courtside
A colorful roundup shows Cupid orchestrating marriages from sea to sea. An American mining engineer weds a Greek countess at a Mexican mine, then to Brooklyn and a Greek church ceremony. Also, a Colorado divorce case prompts a fast train wedding to dodge state law, and a Navy officer elopes with a showgirl after an onyx night at a Manhattan chaplain's home.
