Consolation Marriage

Recently jilted reporter "Rollo" (Pat O'Brien) is being consoled by his editor Jeff (John Halliday) when he meets the equally-dumped Mary (Irene Dunne) for the first time, in RKO's Consolation Marriage, 1931.

First scene for Irene Dunne, as "Mary," some exposition as her pianist boyfriend Aubrey (Lester Vail) departs to marry a woman he doesn't love, shortly after co-star Pat O'Brien (not seen) got jilted, early in Consolation Marriage, 1931.

Reporter Steve (sometimes "Rollo," Pat O'Brien) visits girlfriend Elaine (bracingly blonde Myrna Loy) after a long stint overseas, and gets real bad news, early in Consolation Marriage, 1931.
