  1. I like the "wedding" banner! the heart is a nice touch!

    Funny they called the dad, "Father Varney" and the mom? "Maggie Varney." I guess the "kids" and dad had no first names. :)

    This film could have been mailed to the "print shop" from just about anywhere.

    The boy appears to have a toy in his hand (at first I thought it was an ice cream cone).

    I would guess about 1930.

  2. I wonder if Father Varney was a father-in-law. I often see in-laws referred to as Mother and Father Whoever. If that is the case, Maggie may have been his second wife and not thought of as the spouse's "mother". In our family there were many photos of "Grandma A and Earl." Earl was the second husband and always regarded as a non-relative.
