The 1920 Detroit society wedding of Delphine Dodge and James H.R. Cromwell, with original newsreel footage

This explains the "Jimmy Cromwell" guest suite at the Stotesbury estate, "Whitemarsh Hall", the third largest private home ever built in the United States. Sadly, demolished in 1980.

Really great, probably some of the earliest video I've ever seen

[@moonchild3218]

Loved the video......

Eva Stotesbury left in poor financial condition after her husbands death.Her son was lucky to mary into a wealthy family.I heard Mr.Stotesbury blew it all away towards the end,even telling his son he would not get much.

I read that in the last five years of his life, Mr Stotesbury withdrew $55 million from his account at Drexel and Co. And they should know because he was on the board of directors until he died.

¿Alguen sabe decirme de que murió Delphine dodge?

[@PearlOnward]

Se murió el 18 de Junio 1943 en un hospital in Nueva York. Tenia 44 anos. Alcoholism.

I've lived in Grosse Pointes all my life and am on the Historical Society there and am very knowledgeable about the Dodges. After both brothers Horace and John died in 1920, Horace's daughter Delphine, the subject of this video and her brother, Horace Jr. led the most PATHETIC FAILURES of lives. At least 7 or 8 husbands & wives between the two of them, both alchoholic, utterly irresponsible and unfit to be Parents and they both died before their Mother, Anna Thompson Dodge did. Truly abysmal.

all the wealth they both had, and neither were happy!!! why is that!!

[@ptownjon]

Money can't buy you love!

[@Heartbeat214]

Money *cannot* buy you happiness, Diane; I hope that you have figured that out by now.

[@RADIUMGLASS]

It's better silent.

Soundtrack sounds like mid 1930s band, not 1920. Great music, but not appropriate for the date. High Society affair like that would probably have employed classical musicians.

Are You Making Any Money- Paul Whiteman's Orchestra- 1933. A good one from the year of 1920 would been- After You Get What You Want- by Van & Schenk.
