Miss Ruby Miller, the actress, who was married recently in Paris to Max Darewski, the musician, has decided to change her religion in order that a ceremony in the Jewish faith may take place.

“I thought it was possible for my husband to marry in the Protestant Church,” she said last night. “But I now find that that would be impossible unless he changed his religion. I thought it better that I should change my religion, and I am accordingly doing so. I have to go through a course of preparation by the Jewish pastor, and I will then be married in the Upper Berkeley Street Jewish Synagogue.”

Miss Miller personally announced that the ceremony in the Protestant church would be followed by a ceremony in a synagogue.
