ALICE BRADY FILES
DIVORCE SUMMONS
Stage and Film Star Charges
Misconduct Against Her
Actor Husband.

Miss Alice Brady, star of the screen
and stage and Ct daughter of William
A. Brady. theatrical producer. filed a
summons in the Supreme Court yester-
day. through her attorneys, in suit for
divorce against James l.. Crane, actor
and the son of DR.. Fra nix Crane, preacher
and publicist. Mr.. Crane married Miss
Brady in May, 1919, DR.. Crane offciat-
ing. The ceremony was repeated a
month later in the Church of the Ascen-
sion by Mgr. Edwin NJ. Sweeny at the
request of Miss Brady's father and his
wife. who Is known on the stage as
Grace George.
The summons was filed yesterday
without complaint after an order had
been obtained from Justice Mullan d.
recting its filing as of September 3, be-
cause clerk In the office OF Nathan
Vidaver. attorney for Miss Brady, had
been directed to file the summons on the
proper date but had forgotten to do so.
Miss Brady's complaint. which will be
filed soon, alleges misconduct by the
actor in August at an address in West
Seventy-fourth street Mr.. Cranes an
swer, drawn by Edwin Campbell of 800
Madison avenue. is a general denial of
his wife's charges. 1t was stated yes
terday that Miss Brady will not ask for
alimony.
The rift in the domestic happiness
Of Miss Brady and her husband has
been known to their friends for several
months. Their first wedding ceremony
was performed In the home OF Mr..
Cranes parents while Miss Brady's
parents were on tour in Europe. A cable
message telling of the event brought Mr..
Brady and Miss George back to America
on the first available steamship. Mr..
Brady then arranged for Roman Cath
olic ceremony, after which the young
couple sailed for honeymoon in Europe.
Returning Mr.. Brady placed his SON
in-law in the play Opportunity" which
ran for time at the Forty-eighth Street
Theatre and later moved to The Bronx.
An incident is said to have occurred
during Mr.. Cranes engagement In The
Bronx that somewhat alienated his pro-
ducer father-in-law's kindly interest and
thereafter the actor left the Brady man
agement and obtained an engagement in
2 play that was short lived. A second
honeymoon abroad was arranged by
Miss Brady in the hope of effecting q
reconciliation. This failed. however.
friends of Miss Brady say. On their re-
turn from their second European trip
Miss Brady made the separation final.
She returned TO the stage and went on
tour in Forever After"
Miss Brady's romance with Mr.. Crane
and their marriage was a surprise TO
her closest friends. She had expressed
frequently her determination to adhere
to the existence OF a bachelor maid and
had boasted that she was without senti-
rrent. She was known to have had sew
eral highly eligible bachelors offering
marriage, had small fortune OF her
own and an income reputed to be more
than $4,000 a week. Her marriage,
therefore. to a comparatively obscure ac-
ter was one of the surprises of theatrical
circles two years ago. The couple have
no children

FEAR BY RURAL GIRLS
HELPS IN DOWNFALL
Harmful Psychology De-
scribed by Miss Mccormick.

Fear of many country girls that they
will be tempted to do wrong in the city
leads to their downfall in many cases.
said Miss Helen p. Mccormick, an ASSIST
ant District Attorney in Kings county.
yesterday at he annual State conference
OF probation officers which began at the
Waldorf. The girls have been told they
will be in danger from the moment
they step off the train, she said. and this
fear works on their imaginatlons so
that they fall easy victims.
THE reverse is the case when n girl
comes from an educated family" Miss
Mccormick said. "She learns that city
people are decent, moral and self re-
specting and mind their own business.
When she arrives in the city she con-
ducts herself properly and has no
trouble"

but wisdom, and some par

answering integrity and

quisites if a future reputa-

War taxes were heavily
heaped upon the people of

The cost of war ought

HARDING WELCOMES
PROGRESS TO PEACE
(Bv Associated Press)

BOSTON, April ga hope that the
United States would soon be able to
effect real progress toward a substan-
tial peace was expressed by President
Harding in a letter which was read at
the annual dinner of the Middlesex
club last night. He referred 10 pres
Cnt conditions as constituting q
nominal peace and lacking many bene.
fits of a real peace.
General Grants advice, let US have
peace is a peculiarly proper theme,
the president wrote in taking notice OF
the fact that the occasion was a Grant
anniversary observance.
The world has had nominal peace
for a considerable period now, without
many of the advantages and benefits
Of peace" he continued. 1T never
needed the substance of truth and
peace more than it does today. have
no more earnest hope than that in the
rot very distant future our government
may be able to effect real accomplish
ments in this direction"
