COLUMBIA "Don't Erer Marry" to
the title of the matrimonial satire
which Edgar Franklin wrote and which
Marshall Neilan has produced for the
screen w4th a cast that Includes Matt
Moore. Marjorie Daw, Wesler Barry,
Tom Gaise. Adele Farr irton. Thomas
Jefferson . Herbert Standlnr, Betty
Bouton and others. Thia is quite a de
partment frr Mr. Neilan, but it shows
his versatility In the fact that he is as
easily at home In comedy as In stories
of a more serious nature. "Don't Ever
Marry" is the tale of the happeninin
whlcth take place within 24 hours after
a secret marriage, when for reasons best
known to themselves, two other women
claim the young arroom as their lawfully
wedded husband.
This 1 an uproarious comedy from
the opening scene to the closing episode.
The humorous points come from situa
tions in which everyday people find
themselves and they are not dependent
upon the gTotesqueness of any charac
ter. Mr. Neflan has transferred all of
the high lights of the story and has
kept the picture spontaneous with humor
throughout. The cast may be called
genuine all-star, since it carries names
which, are familiar to every plcturepoer.
And these players take advantage of the
highly amusting complications in a man
ner which stamps them as artists of the
first order.
H ff AJESTIC "Goinc Some." the new
1U Rex Beach picture, featured at the
Majestic this week, is a story full of ac
tionem) up to the usual Beach standards
n every respect. The cast cnosen tor
this production is an all-star one,
and includes such popular plavers as
Cullen Landls. Lillian Hall, Willard
iouis. Lillian Ingdon. Maurice B.
Flynn, the well known football player.
Helen Ferguson, Kenneth Harlan and
a host of others popular m-lth the lovers
of the screen.
Wagerinr a btr cattle ranch against
sheep ranch upon the outcome of a
foot race is one of the excitement pro
ducing elements nVQorag Some." The
picture is all that Harry Beaumont
direction with the assistance of the an
ther can make It. Moat of the action
centers around thji two runners and the
owners of the ranches. The runners
rhold the destiny of many people in
their power to win or lose- the event
ful race. Before the time arrive ror
the athletes to try out their physical
powess, oil Is discovered on one of the
wagered ranches, thereby enhancing its
value a great deal. The possibility of
such- a discovery was not taken Into
oonsiderstion when the wager was made ;
hence arises the question of whether It
would be fair to carry out the original
terms on which the bet was based. Ob
viating the necessity of legal assist
ance, nature allows things to take their
normal course. The solving of this in
tricate pntxla makes a story of absorb
ing interest. "Going Some gives all
the thrills and excitement to be derived
from a picture.
A Carter de Haven comedy and Paths

LIBERTY One of the most unusual
romances ever conceived by an au
. thor la presented, in Allan, Dwgn's pro
duction of "A Splendid Haxanl," Harold
MaeOrath's -.vigorous narrative of love
and buried treasure, showing at the Lib
erty for the. new week. It presents In
true perspective the transitory influence
of Infatuation as opposed to the solidity
and performance of love that springs
from sympathy, understanding and sin
cere affection.
"A Splendid Hazard" relates the ro
mance of Karl Breltman, who Is ob
sessed with an overwhelming ambition,
and Hedda Gobert, beautiful prima
donna. With the. deliberate Intention of
securing a treasure map in Hedda's pes
tiesslon,. Breltman woos the dlv al
though he has no feeling for her. She
falls madly in love with him.
Having secured the map, he Ignores
the pleas of the woman and sails for
America. Her great love having blind
ed her, she abandons her career and
follows him. Arthur Cathewe, her man
ager, who has proposed . to the singer
many times and been rejected, Insists
IP
on accompanying her to America, thus
complicating the love story.
This interesting situation cornea to a
head in a powerful climax in far-away
Corsica, where Fate untangles the
twisted skoins of the romance. Brelt
man Is played in "A Splendid Hazard"
by Henry B. Walthall, while the char
acter of Hedda Iolert Is enacted by
Rosemary Thetiy. and that of Cathewe
by riiilo McPulloutrh.
Motion pictures of "Bsbe" Ruth, the
"Czar of Swat." in action in a real game
are alfo featured. These nurtures; in
slow mot inn. will also show just how
''Babe" manage to hit the ball on the
nose so regularly.
RIVOLI E. K. Lincoln, the romantic
fMTreen ptar. will b seen in the
American Cinema Super Special. 'The
Inner Voice." at the Rlroll for the new
week.
"The Inner Voice." like the majority
of the other dramatic successes of the
present day and of the past ages, has
ss Its main motive the eternal struggle
between rtght and wrong ; vice and
virtue.
This photo drama in many respects
as a piece of dramatic writing ap
proaches the technical perfection and
human interest of the great .dramatic
masterpieces) in-the history of tHerntare,
It Is said -by great literary critics that
the outstanding feature In the works of
all writers who have been accepted as
the greatest of their age. has been the
fact that in their works they have
touched 'ith an unerring hand the re
sponsive human cord in the hearts of
their readers.

tle over a year In producing -this pic
ture, the scenes for which were taken
in the South Sea Islands, many of which
were taken on the Island of New Ouinea

much difficulty and danger to their
own heads that the adventurous pair
took upon themselves before they filmed
the natives, who are said to be members
of one of the wildest tribes in existence
today.

Pass Key." at the Circle today and to

and director of "Blind Husbands.' the
recent Universal success, said to be

seasons. -
The reproduction In The Devil's Pass
Key" of life In Paria. where the story
is laid, is genuine In every detail. Von
Strohelm has spent a good deal of time
there himself and much of the local
color of the scenes ia the French capital
is the result of his own experience.
The Story concerns an American au
thor living in Paris with his extrava
gant wife, who becomes hopelessly In
debt at the shop of an unscrupulous mo
diste. Expecting the woman to follow
the Parisian method of getting a rich
lover to pay her bills, the modiste in
