The lovers had it "doped" out that they could come down here, get married and return to work at the studio at 8 o'clock. In making up their "dope sheet"they forgot to take into consideration the county clerk and his deputies, and when they arrived here they found that a license was not availalbe on Sunday.
The comedian called on Deputy County Clerk Joe Backs early yesterday morning and asked him to issue a license.
"Nothing doing until after midnight," was the cold-hearted reply of Backs.
He received the same answer when he called on County Clerk Edwards at Orange.
The decree of these two dignitaries was final and the lovers passed the day in and around Santa Ana awaiting the midnight hour. Promptly at 12 o'clock last night, BAcks was at the clerk's office to issue the license. Justice Cox was also among those present and he spliced the lovers and sent them on their way rejoicing.
Harris spoke from the stage at the Princess last niht, but did not give an inkling of how he happened to be in the city during the evening.
His bride is a sister of Edith Roberts, who appears in teh Nestor comedies with Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran. The L-KO comedies appear at the Princess, and one in which Harris appears is on at the Princess tonight.
