BY SPECIAL Correspondent.

Plans that go wrong are the cause
of nearly all the trouble in the
world. No sane person ever plans
trouble for himself, yet everyone Ia
constantly planning ahead. and
trouble develops. therefore it must
be that most plans go wrong for
trouble is one of the commonest
things In the world.
1t is experienced so often that the
most nerve racking troubles are
usually humorous to bystanders
and many times cause good laughs
to the people involved after thev
are over. 1t would seem that people
could get a source of comfort out
of predicaments they are in by real
izing the humor of the situation.
but 1t is very seldom there is any
humor to be seen until they are
safely out.
Deep trouble for the people in
volved, which was farcical humor
for spectators, developed in Elm
field. little country village, due to
the plans of a pretty maid to avoid
a marriage upon which her mother
had insisted. She enlisted the aid
of the best friend of the man she
really loved. Her plan was simple.
She would announce that she had
married the friend. The plan is
complicated at the start because the
young man whom she has selected
to play the role of husband has sec
reilly married on the day he is to
assume the role. The announcement
is made, however, and then the
plans go all wrong.
The secret bride has seen them
taken to the hotel. The girl is pretty.
But why attempt to describe the
complications that ensue when
Marshall Neiian has depicted them
with all their humor in a motion
picture production entitled Don't
Ever Marry" which will be the at
traction at the Strand theatre TODAY

At The Crescent.

The press agent who has announc-
ed while New York Sleeps" an
eight-reel Fox Special, which began
its run at the Crescent Theatre last
night as the most sensational and
artistic melodrama of all time" does
not realize how close he has really
come to the mark.
Night life in New York among the
several strata of society in that Co.'S
mopolitan city is pictured with won
drous fidelity in the three acts or
episodes which compose the picture.
Some magnificent views of the
bright spots along The Great White
Way have been used in the picture.
Then the action plunges over to
the East Side where we see tragedy

band whom she despises, the sanity.
paralytic father of the man, and the
gangster leader of band of thieves.
In this episode occurs a thrilling re-
volver battle between the famous
police boat and launch full of des-
peradoes.
In addition to the remarkable
tensity of the three stories and the
interest in connection with the Spec
tacular feature that the director has
introduced into the picture are the
splendid characterizations effected
by the small but eminent cast of
players who portray the principal
parts. Seldom if ever in the history
of the screen has any group of play
ers acquitted themselves so admir-
ably.
The cast is composed of Estelle
Taylor, one of the most beautiful ac-
tresses of the screen today; Mare
MacDermott. who has for many
years enriched the screen with his
