STAGE WEDDING
ATHOLL FLEMING AND PHYLLIS BEST MARRY QUIETLY. SHIPBOARD ROMANCE. Sydney, Saturday. Quietly, almost steathily, Atholl Fleming and Phyllis Best, of Dame Sybil Thorndyke's company, slipped away to Christ Church, St. Laurence, yesterday morning and were married. There are few secrets in the circumscribed world of the theatre, but only a few friends occupied the pews of the church when the two were wod. These young people who have played so often to crowded houses were glad to escape after they had spoken their biggest lines. The bride is a young Australian girl, the daughter of Sir Robert and Lady Best, of Milbourne, and her mother hurried over to Sydney for the wedding. Shipboard Romance. It was a shipboard romance, aecording to other members of the company, though the bridegroom beaming through the grease-paint that covered his face in his dressing room yesterday afternoon traced it back much further — back to when he was making a picture at the Elstree Studios and a friend brought Phyllis there to tea. The new Mrs. Fleming is fair haired and charming, and her husband tall and broad shouldered with a handsome, laughing face. There was no honeymoon. Almost as soon as the wedding was over the couple were back at the theatre for the afternoon performance of "St. Joan."
