In Beverly Hills, tempestuous (code for batshit crazy) actress Mae Murray marries "Prince" David Mdvani of the golddigging Mdvanis. Mae was 37; David, 26.

Pola Negri, then dating Rudolph Valentino, was Mae's maid of honor; a year later, her sister-in-law when Pola married David's brother. Valentino served as David's best man; barely two months after this photo was taken, Valentino lay dead in a New York hospital.
