Goes to Convention; Gives Party, Obtains Actress as Bride
NEW YORK, July 7.—The Democratic National Convention has given Addie Rolfe a husband out of the Middle West.
Miss Rolfe, said to be the most glorified of the glorious girls of the "Ziegfeld Follies," stopped tripping the light fantastic at rehearsal the other day long enough to announce that she was married to Cecil Sillman, Detroit real estate man, who came east for the convention.
As Miss Rolfe explained it, she and Sillman met at Atlantic City two weeks ago Sunday. Sillman gave a big party to the company at the opening night of the Follies there. It cost him $2,000 and later his single blessedness.
The next day Miss Rolfe wore a ring that made one's eyes blink.
And she and Sillman went to the Municipal Building and were married.
