Married. Jackie Cooper, 21, snub-nosed veteran cinema juvenile, now a seaman at Great Lakes Naval Training Station (TIME Nov. 13); and June Home, sweet-faced cinema starlet; in a church ceremony in Los Angeles.

Divorced. Raymond Gram* Swing, 57, meticulous, spook-voiced radioracle; by Betty Gram Swing, fortyish; after 21 years of marriage, three years of separation; in Brattleboro, Vt.

Died. Laird Cregar, 28, dulcet-voiced movie behemoth; of a heart attack following an abdominal operation after dieting away 100 lbs.; in Los Angeles. Because of his size (6 ft. 3 in., 300 lbs.), Cregar had a hard time persuading Hollywood producers that he could really act, let his first picture, Hudsons' Bay, in 1940 speak for him, promptly became one of the screen's most popular portrayers of psychopathic, blood-curdling bad-men (Joan of Paris, The Lodger), had just completed, before his death, a new melodrama. Hangover Square.

Died. Roger Bresnahan, 64, oldtime great baseballer; of a heart attack; in Toledo. A native of Tralee, Ireland, "The Duke" took to his adopted country's No. 1 sport so featly that the New York Giants' famed Manager John McGraw made Bresnahan his No. 1 catcher in 1902. He caught Christy Mathewson, one of baseball's alltime greats, wore baseball's first pair of shin guards. Traded to St. Louis in 1908, ruddy, iron-jawed, black-haired Bresnahan served there as playing manager, retired from the sport in 1931.

Died. Dr. William Norman Guthrie, 76, unorthodox former rector of Manhattan's venerable Episcopal Church of St. Mark's in-the-Bouwerie; in Washington. Appointed rector of quiet, 145-year-old St. Mark's in 1911, handsome, Scottish-born Dr. Guthrie quickly displayed a talent for religious showmanship, installed colored lights, gongs and incense, asked non-believers like Dancer Isadora Duncan to speak at services, symbolically tethered a black sheep in the churchyard. When in 1923, Dr. Guthrie put on a show of eurythmic dances in the church by six bare-legged Barnard girls, Bishop William Thomas Manning removed St. Mark's from his Episcopal visiting list (so that members had to be confirmed elsewhere), did not relent until 1932, when the dances were discontinued for lack of funds. On his retirement in 1937, Dr. Guthrie paid his respects to the Episcopal Church, which he called "the least intolerable" of churches: "It was organized by gentlemen for gentlemen, and you can break the law if you know how."

* He added Gram in deference to his feminist wife, does not know whether he will keep it.
