ties, and as portrayed by the inimit
able May Irwin, is one of the most
laughable subjects ever produced in
motion pictures.
Of the star and play’, little need be
said, for both are known countrywide,
and in ihe film adaptation the popular
story is produced more effectively
than it could be on the stage. All
those who are familiar with May Ir
win’s amazing ability will be anxious
to see her in her first film perform
ance; all those who have never seen
this comedy artiste on the stage will
undoubtedly grasp this opportunity to
witness the country’s greatest come
dienne in her foremost success.
The distinguished comedienne, in
her first film characterization, adds
new distinction to her past triumphs.
She is inimitable as the irrepressible
Mrs. Black, who deceives her husband
about her age, and who goes through
a period of comic anguish as the re
sult. “Mrs. Black” is a comedy of
humorous deceptions, although it is
nothing but the truth to say that it is
one of the best comedies that has ever
been screened.
May Irwin appeared in the original
stage version of the subpect for many
years, and the popular play therefore
does not require • a detailed descrip
tion.
Mrs. Black, a gay widow, discovers
that her prospective second husband
does not like women over thirty, and
is compelled to lie about the number
of her years and the age of her son,
whom she describes as a boy of ten,
whereas he is a big strapping fellow,
just graduating from cbllege. In order
to maintain the deception, she forces
her son to remain away from the
house, while the Professor’s friends
continually send him a variety of
children’s toys. Finally, the stalwart
son grows tired of being away from
home and decides to return. In des
peration, Mrs. Black compels him to
pose first as the gas man, and later
as the new cook. The situations that
follow provide the resourceful May
Irwin with unequalled opportunities
for the display of her comedy talents.
The production is well mounted and
produced with rare skill. This Para
mount feature will be here Monday
only.

Kansas City, Mo.—Clark Griffith, man
ager of tilt Washington American lea
gue baseball club, announced here late
today that he had signed Walter John
son as pitcher for the Washington Am
ericans with a three-year contract and
that Johnson would play with Washing
ton next season.
The manager and pitcher reported an
agVeeemnt in an all-day conference.
Johnson issued this signed statement:
“After a conference with Manager
Griffith and legal authorities, I am con
vinced the option in my last year’s con
tract with the Washington ball club was
binding, and I am going to return to
the Washington baseball club and fulfill
my agreement and at the terms offered
me by that club.”
To Get $12,500.
Manager Griffith said Johnson’s new
contract called fcfr a salary of $12,50')
a year for three years—an lucre ise of
SSOO over his last season’s contract.
Griffith sand Johnson would return to
the Federal League the $6,000 bonus
which Manager 'finger of the Chicago
Federate paid him to sign a Federal Lea
gue contract December 3d. The Fed
eral League contract called for a sal
ary of SIO,OOO a year.
Johnson cunte to Kansas City after re
ceipt of a telegram from Griffith asking
him to meet him to talk over the op
tion attached to Johnson’s last season’s
contract.
$3,500 Bonus.
‘*T wrote to Johnson and told him the
option was binding,” said Griffith to
night. “Under it the Washington club
paid Johnson $3,500 for the right to con
tract for his services after last season.
Johnson wrote that if I could convince
him that the option was legal he would
return to the Washington club. 1 Im
mediately arranged for today’s confer
ence.
“We had legal advices white wo went
over the option clause and at the end of
the day Johnson became convinced he
was legally under option to my club. lie
is a square young fellow. lie wanted
to do the right thing and so he signed
up.”
Griffith said Johnson explained that
when he signed with the Federate ho
believed his option agreement was not
binding.
“Did you agree to pay Johnson a
bonus for returning to the Washington
club?” Griffith was asked.
“1 did not,” he replied. “He real
ized that the Washington club had h
legal right to bis services”
The new Johnson contract emit a Ins
no, “ten-day clause ' Griffith said.
As soon as Johnson concluded his
meeting with Griffith he left the hot**.

We are certain of thins point.
