and, as usual, the trouble was of his own
making.
In the absence of Miss Brady he; mas
been an amiable host at several little n
formal parties in his Riverside Drive
apartment The complaint against 5lam
appears to be that they were too infornidi
and the guests too limited in numbers.
That complaint will be sworn to by;twc
representatives of his wife-detectives--
who intruded into one of these parties last
August and discovered 1t was limited to
two. one of whom was Mr.. Crane. The
other was one of Actor Cranes yeuns

have not discussed the matter with Miss
Brady's father, who has a wide and YER

when he mentions his son-in-law, Mr.
Crane.

ing the signal for the overture.
The manager was just debating whether
to call of the performance and refund the
money that had been taken in when the
stage door opened and in walked Mr.
Crane. He appeared to be suffering from
a strange illness that affected his walk.
He was also very merry and disposed TO
see something highly humorous in the sit
uation. He bowed profoundly and re-
marked that it was pleasant evening
The manager reflected. After ALL the
broker whom Crane impersonated in the
play was supposed to take a stiff drink at
intervals throughout the play, and it was
probable that the audience might associate
Mr.. Cranes condition with his part-pro,
vided he could walk straight and recte
his lines. The manager had a brilliant
idea and decided to take chance.
There was a little delay and at last the
manager stepped out to the footlghts and
said:
Ladies and gentlemen, must beg your
indulgence this evening on behalf of Mr..
Crane.

thickness in his speech this evening be-
cause he has just undergone a slight opera

Later. after Mr.. Crane appeared on the
stage. few uncharitable members of the
audience thought the managers speech
had been thick-a bit too thick.
The trouble seemed to he with Mr..
Cranes legs as well as his speech. and
before the play had progressed very far
many OF its dramatic moments were lost

Mr. Crane following his part, took another
glass of colored water that represented

could be done. Alice is his only daughter
and for years he had jealousy guard
her against the usual experiences of the
stage. Her secret wedding was bitter
disappointment to him particularly as
Alice had her choice Of suitors. She was
a petted favorite among scores of rich and
prominent men, and at the Plaza and after
the-theatre parties was often seen with
such titled and eligible bachelors as An
drea De Segurola, so that Mr.. Brady had
counted on different sort of match than
the one she made.
But after a talk with young Crane he
arranged for a formal church wedding and
set out to put1the best face on things.
The first thing he did was to cast abort
for a play in which the young actor could
appear with advantage This was found
in Opportunity" which opened at the
Forty.eighth Street Theatre after Mr.. and
Mrs. Crane had returned from their honey
moon in Europe.
Opportunity" was a good name for the
play, as far as Actor Crane was concerned
1t gave him the chance to set at rest all
the talk Of the inequality of the marriage
that had been simmering along Broadway
for months, and make his own mark as
well But 1t was not long before his wife
discovered that her amable husband did
not take his opportunity as seriously as
she and her father had hoped. Actor
Crane is said to have .;sed a considerable
portion of his new salary in testing the
new prohibition law.
His wife demonstrated, her father threat
ened, but Mr.. Cranes thirst was not to be
stated.
His attractive wife, risking pneumonia
in her low cut evening dress, left her
limousine time and time again on their
way home from the theatre and followed
the young actor down Broadway pleading
with him to come home; while Crane,
with his silk hat at a rakish angle, strolled
down the street looking for new places to
get drink.
Come back, Jimmy, please--if you love
me-" Miss Brady pleaded, while habitues

A IL that James L. Crane had to do
~ to become rich, popular and inhu-
= = entail was to be a good husband.
Some men achieve that opportunity with
the same condition by marrying homely
women who have money. But Crane mar
ried Alice Brady, whose attractiveness and
talent have made her popular favorite
among theatre-goers in America and mo-
tion picture lovers the world over. More
over, his father-in-law was William A.
Brady. the producer, and Crane was an
ambitious actor. Mr. Brady was able to
crafty all the theatrical ambitions he had
ever had and had already begun to shape
his career by starring him, at considerable
personal expense, in one of the Brady pro-
auctions.
Besides, it was expedient for Mr.. Brady
to make his sonsin-law a>star and his heir
apparent to contradict the rumors that his
daughter Alice had made an unfortunate
marriage. All was cut and dried for Mr..

husband, Mr.. Crane might possibly have
had cause for discomfort.
But this was not the case. Long before
her marriage Miss Brady said she wanted
a fireside and babies and happiness for
ever after. And after she was married
she said her ideas had not changed and
that with Mr.. Crane she expected to enter
the happy reality of her dreams.
And so she did--for a few weeks,

She had met Crane eight months earlier
at a moving picture studio where. he was
trying to get part. At her arrangement
she played opposite him in the picture, and
soon they were in love.
When Producer Brady, in London, heard
OF the marriage he came back to America

This was the realization of Miss Brady's
romance. ....
Still her pride would not let her, admit
mistake and she chung to him. There was
another reason for her loyalty that will be
apparent in a few weeks when Miss Brady
becomes mother.
Even Cranes historic Interpretation Of

to the management until a few minutes

actors, no matter how late they appear
