Bridal Couple Dodging Cameras

• Watchlist

Here comes the bride. Exterior of a fashionable church. Reporters arrive with cameras to take pictures of the beautiful American heiress and her titled husband, the Duke de Nonothing. The bridal couple appears. Horrified at the cameras. A hurried retreat. They plan to evade the cameras. The carriage is ordered to meet them a few blocks away from the church. The bride loses her Duke. While stealing out the back entrance of the church, the bride and groom are discovered by the reporters. They run down the street followed by the newspaper reporters and camera fiends. The bride leads. The Duke follows and falls into an excavation in the street. The bride misses her Duke but still hurries on followed by reporters. The poor disheveled Duke climbs out of the hole only to find his bride far in the lead. The chase. With her bridal robe all torn and soiled, the poor frightened bride is followed by reporters of every description, including some women society reporters. The Duke de Nonothing comes trailing behind. Down steps, over fields, through fences and over golf links, the Duke endeavors to catch up. The bride is confronted by a high board fence. With no chance to turn back she climbs over the fence followed by her pursuers. Through the back-yard and into the house, they tear through the janitor's apartments, startling them at their evening meal. Everything pushed aside in the chase. The bride reaches the waiting carriage. The disheveled Duke fights his way through the crowd of reporters. At last reaches his fainting, weeping bride. Together at last. After hard driving they leave the reporters behind and feel secure from the cameras. Suddenly the carriage window drops down, a camera is thrust in, a flash of light, and their picture is taken after all. Snapshots. Various views show the ludicrous attitudes in which the morning papers pictured the beautiful American heiress and her husband, the Duke de Nonothing, while leaving the church after the ceremony.
