“THE DEMI-BRIDE” Should the “Wedding March” be regarded as the prelude to “The Prisoner’s Song” or as an overture to years of matrimonial bliss? This is the question upon which Norma Shearer’s latest starring vehicle, <4 The Demi-Bride,” has been based. French, frothy, farcical and funny, this Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture presents an entirely new side of married life. Norma Shearer, the Canadian beauty, has as her leading man, sophisticated and appealing Lew Cody, who also appeared with her in “A Slave of Fashion” and “His Secretary.” There is no need to remind picture-goers of the - ----- fun-making capabilities of these two favourites. Briefly the story revolves round a French misij who leaves school to fall in love with the most popular man in Paris. How she shows him that heart-breaking is not the sole prerogative of the male sex, how he falls in love with her and then finds his care-free past rising to baffle him, is told in a bright and breezy fashion that will captivate everyone. Carmel Myers, Dorothy Sebastian, Tenen Holtz and Lionel Barrymore also appear in thie story of wedding bells and what happened afterwards.
