RUDY VALLEE HAS
WED DAUGHTER
OF POLICE CHIEF
Fay Webb Was an Actress
But Her Father Is Boss
of the Police in Santa
Monica
New York. July 9.— (UP)—Rudy
Vallee and his bride, the former Fay
Webb, actrc^i were honeymooning
in a luxurious uptown apartment to
day, seeking to elude questioners
and curious crowds.
The orchestra leader, whose radio
crooning made the hearts of count
less feminine listeners palpitate and
brought him a fortune, was married
to Miss Webb, daughter of the police
chief of Santa Monica, Calif, at West
Orange, N. J.. last Monday,, but
the news was not made public un
til last night.
Rudy met Miss Webb, an attrac
tive brunette, for the first time m
1929, although their mothers had
been childhood schoolmates in Can
ada. He was in Hollywood making
the picture “The Vagabond Lover."
They were seen together frequently,
and both denied reports they were,
engaged.
Rudy's radio and other engage
ments will keep the couple in New
York where he is appearing with his
orchestra nightly at t]ie Pennsyl
vania roof, broadcasting every
Thursday.
Recently the radio star leased a
14-room apartment on the four
teenth floor at 55 Central Park west,
and furnished it in lavish fashion.
It was from the windows of their
apartment that the bride and groom
looked down last night on a crowd
of curious persons who gathered in
front of the building after the news
of the marriage had been published.
Reporters and photographers were
told by the doorman that “Mr Val
lee cannot be disturbed at this
time."
The marriage ceremony wtAs per
formed by Police Judge Herbert
Lighthipe of West Orange, with a
few friends as witnesses. Edwin
Scheuing, Rudy's business manager,
acted as best man and Mrs Herbert
Schmidt of Hoboken was brides
maid. William Vallee, Rudy’s young
er brother, and Hyman Bushel, his
attorney, also were present.
The orchestra leader gave his age
as 29 and Miss Webb, 23. It was
Rudy's second marriage. In 1928,
before he had sprung to overnight
prominence, he was married to
Leonie Cauchois- She had the mar
riage annulled three months later.
Rudy, a native of Westbrook. Me,
was christened Hubert Prior Vallee.
He assumed the nickname Rudy
when he took up saxophone play
ing, as he was a great admirer of
a. master of the instrument, Rudy
His first Broadway engagement
brought him a week. He sub
stituted in orchestras conducted by
Ken Kernie and Vincent Lopez and
then organized a group of his own,
known as the Connecticut Yankees.
When, with this band, he began his
new style of "crooning” he became
an overnight sensation, a successor
of the late Rudolph Valentino as
a popular idol.
Chief of Police Clarence E. Webb,
the bride’s father, was quoted <n
United Press dispatches from Santa
Monica as saying the marriage was
no surprise to him.
“They’ve been engaged for two
years,” he said. "We took Fay to
the train last Wednesday and she
arrived in New York Sunday. She
and Rudy called us up Monday
night and told us they were mar
ried. They promised to write their
plans for the future.”
The chief referred to his son-in
law as "a wonderful boy,” of whom
he and his wife were "very very
proud.”
Mrs Vallee formerly was under

GERMANY Will
BATTLE TO GET
AMERICAN HELP
Seeking Capital to Rescue
the Nation From Com
plete Relapse Into Finan
cial Ruin
BT FREDERICK KtJH
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Berlin, July 9 — (UP) — A fight
for American capital to rescue a
slowly reviving Germany from re
lapse Into financial chaos was be
gun today.
The government’s position wai
unquestionably much better as a re
sult of the Hoover moratorium and
the pledge of 1,000 outstanding
banks and firms, offering private
resources to the reich.
The battle against bankruptcy wai
believed half won by these majoi
moves, but officials told the United
Press the second step will be:
1. —To halt withdrawals of forelgr
credits.
2. —To redirect a stream of for
eign—particularly American — cap
ital back Into German channels.
Dr Hans Luther, head of th«
Relchsbank, Is going to London eoor
to arrange for a great foreign loan
through the Relchsbank. The loan,
It was reported, will be In connec
tion with the program to securt
400.000. 000 or 500,000,000 mark!
(1110,000,000) rediscount credits.
The flood of almost fatal with
drawals of foreign currency In the
past two weeks, when the Hoover
debts plan lay In tie balance at
Paris, seriously threatened the eco
nomic stability of the nation.
These already have lessened, how
ever, totalling but 25,000,000 marks
(about $6,000,000) yesterday as com
pared to the staggering total of 75,
000,000 marks on Monday and about
40.000. 000 on Tuesday. That was re
garded ae a healthy sign and the
government was believed winning Its
battle against a financial panic, and
ruin.
VARIETY IS—
“You were engaged for four
years! Wasn’t It rather boring?”
“No—It was not always the same
man.”—Answers.
No Fault With
New Bus Route
Streets in Good Condition
But Vehicles Over
crowded
The new route tor the Sylvan ave
nue bus Is all right, Bridge, Pem
berton, Pleasant and Ridge streets
are in good condition, so that the
only complaint heard is about the
crowding on certain trips. This was
very noticeable at 5 o’clock yester
day afternoon. Every seat was oc
cupied and about twenty persons
were standing, some carrying bun
dies end one or two with children
in erms.
As a rule on all such occasions,
those who want to alight are at the
extreme end of the vehicle and go
through quite an ordeal squeezing
through. Whether this crowding IS
due to a scarcity of buses or diffi
culty in getting reliable drivers is
not known to patrons, but in any
event it is the -cause of much pro
fanity on the part of men and it Is
not possible to tell what kind of lan
guage women would use to express
their feelings if one could get them
to talk.
MUST BE SCOTCH
“Why did you have only one of
the twins photographed?”
"They looked so much alike, it
was no use spending the money get

With Harsh
I Irritants
"Reach for a
LUCKY instead"
What effect have harsh irritants present In all
raw tobaccos upon the throat? A famous author
ity, retained by us to study throat irritation, says*
"The tissues above and below the vocal
chords and the vocal chords themselves may
become acutely or chronically congested
as a result of the inhalation of irritating
fumes, in the case of chemists for example.”
LUCKY STRIKE’S exclusive "TOASTING" Process#
which includes the use of modern Ultra Violet
Rays, expels certain harsh irritants present in all
raw tobaccos. We sell these expelled Irritants to
manufacturers off chemical compounds. They ara
not present in your LUCKY STRIKE. So "Consider
your Adam’s Apple"-that is your larynx-your
voice box—it contains your vocal chords.
Don’t rasp your throat with harsh irritants. Be
careful in your choice off cigarettes. Reach for
a LUCKY instead.
