MISS MARY IDA STANCIL
BRIDE OF WILLIAM WHITE
Miss Mary Ida Stancil and William
David White, both of Aberdeen, were
quietly mai-ried at the Meth,odist Par
sonage in Aberdeen last Sunday af-j
ternoon, August 23rd, at 3:00 o’clock,
in the presence of a few immediate
friends, with the Rev. W. C. Ball per
forming the ceremony.
The bride was attired in an attrac
tive dress of blue romaine crepe with
tan access,ories.
Mrs. White is the popular daught
er of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Stancil of
Roseland, near Aberdeen, and has
been the efficient secretary to Theo
Berg for some time. The groom came
t,o Aberdeen from Pittsboro several
years ago, and is employed at Mor
gan’s barber shop here.
Immediately after the ceremony the
young couple left on a wedding trip
to the western part of N,orth Caro
lina and points in Virginia. They will
be at home to their friends in Aber
deen after September 1st.

you can tell them who she is—what’s
she’s done—how funny she is—and
what a great old character she por
trays. It’s a mother love story—a
story of a mother w'ho pretended to i
be hard boiled—who apparently inter- |
fered constantly with her children’s 1
lives—who quarreled and quarreled
but always because she loved them 1
so—and was really helping them.

ed to the Carolina Theatre next Mon

thrilling drama, “Transatlantic” with I
Edmund Lowe and Lois Moran in the *
leading roles, will be sailing its enter- 1
taining course. The Chicago Tribune :
says; “Transatlantic” in an unusual !
and entertaining film, so cleverly di-1
rected that your interest doesn’t lag a
moment, that Lowe gives a grand per
formance, that the picture will prob
ably be among the 1931’s best, that it
is a photoplay of exceptional brilliance,
produced with a masterly touch and
that the acting is well nigh flawless.
“Transatlantic,” briefly, has to do
with the tangled lives of a dozen or
so men and women who set out from
an American port for Europe aboard
a de-luxe liner. Unknown to each
other before the vessel slips its moor
ings, they speedily become involved in
a tangle which takes the entire voy
age across the Atlantic to unsnarl.
