Description
Photograph of "a marriage parade in Korea. The lanterns are empty, indicating that the bride has extinguished all her 'old flames
' the goose signifies her opinion of the groom, whom she is marrying for mazuna - symbolized by the richly caparisoned hearse. The procession has stopped in front of a cafe where the groom has gone to get fresh strength. The photo is taken for evidence in a Breach of Promise suit in case the groom leaves by the side entrance and escapes the detective (with the bicycle) ready to pursue at an instant's notice. The air of gayety on every face has just been caused by the bride's announcement that 'There ain't gonta be no tips, see!'"
