SALE is SEASONS SUCCESS
Because Newark Did Not Realize on
Smailwood Transaction Deficit
Was Noted at End.

"The sale of one ball player fire.
quently makes the season a success
for a minor league club, when the loss
of the money involved means failure"
remarked a prominent international
league man.
"Take the case of Newark and Wal
ter SmallwoOd for example. Small
wood was the only player sold by the
Newark club, the Yankees purchasing
him. One of the conditions of the
transfer, however, was that in the
event of Smallwood being drafted the
deal was off. SmalIwood reported to
the Yankees. was caught in the draft
and left to join the National army. SC
the Yankees did not have to pay the
price decided upon. If Newark had
realized the amount involved in this
deal the club would have closed the
season with balance in the treasury.
It got nothing and ended the campaign
with a deficit"

DID JOE CANS LAY
DOWN TO M'GOVERN?
Veteran Ring Fans Still Argue
About Ancient Battle.
"Oid Master" of LichtweIghts Ad.

1t was II years ago that Joe Cans,

battle has been and still is the subject
of rabid discussion among boxing bugs,
and the anniversary reviveS the old
question, "WaS ii fake?"

entered into "gentlemen's agree

terms was to succumn gracefully be-

he had found McGovern able to
administer more punishment than he

way of real retaliation, and he there
fore decided TO quit in the second
round instead of the fourth

In signing to meet McGovern In

At the Capital Iheaters

A very charming mother who sat
in Right CO at the National Theater
last night said after the first act OF
Penrod:
Jack said to me the other day
after / had reproved him, Mother,
I am not a bad boy the trouble with
me is that l have go too much steam
and no exhaust"
That boy gave a very truthful an
alysis of what is ordinarily called "a
bad boy" As a matter Of fact there
is no such thing as q BAD boy, and
this fact was never more definitely
demonstrated than in. the play which
Edward Rose has constructed from
the Penrod stories by Booth Tark-
ington, which had its frst washing
ton presentation last night
No reader OF "Penrod," and PEN
rod and Sam" and Seventeen" and
the later Penrod stories which have
appeared in magazine form, has fall
ed to ind intense enjoyment in these
pictures of boy life, the greatest
since Mark Twain and Huck Finn,
No one who sees the stage version
OF these stories but will marvel that
the producers were able to bring to-
s-ther four such remarkable boy &C
tors as Cornish Beck. Andrew LaWlor,
Joseph Collins and Charles Whitfield,
who play, respectively, the parts OF
Penrod. Sam williams, Herman. and
Verman. The two latter boys, IL they
are not actually coloEed boys, SO thor
oughly represent the negro boy char
acter that they are totally deceptive.
The star of the whole cast is young
Lawlor. who. as Sam Williams, the
companion and co-conspirator Of Pen
rod, gives a truly lifelike picture Of
the live American boy. No better act
ing was ever done by q mature play
er than he offers in the opening scene
OF the last act, when, inspired by 10y.
atty to his companion, he travels
along the rad edge OF untruthfulness
in his endeavor to protect his friend.
His attempts to evade facts were de-
liEhtful, and when, with the coming
OF Penrod, he felt that in numbers
there was strength, his support OF
Penrod's explanation was all that
support could be.
Master Beck's picture Of Penrod
was excellent. He never failed for a
moment to picture Mr. Tarkington's 8
hero and hisspe ech as he left home
with his dog that "it will be about
sixty five years, I guess, before we
see the old place again, Is as umch
a classic as Joe Jefferson's here's to
your good health and your family's." j"
The rest of the cast is excellent,
the little girls are real little girls,
curls and all, and the grown-ups, who
are really only supports for the
youngsters, are all completely pic
tured.
The story Of the play is the story
OF the boys but along with them
there is a well-defined love interest
in the calf-Iike affections OF Robert
williams who. is the Seventeen" ele.
ment of the play and Margaret Scho-
field Penroots sister. who is. all but
carried away by the attentions

Dade.

LoEH,a coLuMnIA.

Marguerite, Clark is drawing huge
crowds to Loew's Columbia TheAtsF
in a perturbation Of her famous
stage success, "Prunella-" The story
is by Granville Barker, and the char
aeter Of PruneIla is the last role
Miss Clark played on the speaking
stage. -'- -.. ...-
The story concerns Prunella, who
is primly learning her lesson in the
garden surrounded on the north
south, and west by her queer spin
ster sunts, PTim. Privacy. and Pruds.
A troupe OF travelling players has
come to town that day, and the stern
triUmvirate Of guardians fears their
innocent PrunellA may chance to
catch a glimpse of some one actually
over the garden wall, the Pierrot
gayIy leaps the hedge and makes vio-
lent love TO the girl. Al night he
steals her.
The scene shifts back to the old
garden three years later on a moon
light night. There is only one OF
the aunts there now and she. is leav-
ing, for the house has been sold
to a rich stranger, and only awaits
his coming to give up the keys. The
stranger turns out to be PieTrot, who,
sad at heart. has returned, to await
Prunella at her old home.
A feature OF the picture which i'm
presses itself on the memory is the
staging. Ben Carr has designed a
series Of poster-like settings that
provides a departure from the old
and accepted decorations for motion
pictures. The whole aim Is a
novelty.
Although a classic. the story gains
, new charm in the pAntomimic as
portrayed with the charming Miss
Clark in the title role.
Thursday and for the last half Of
the week Wallace Reid will be seen
in Believe Ne, XAntippe."
