WASHINGTON.
Has black cat ever crossed your
path2
1t was back in the Sixteenth Cen
fury, according to a learned historian
OF Rhode Island, that the superstition
of the black cat fable was introduced.
A clergyman was returning from his
church after the Sunday evening SER
mon and he carried with him the days
Offering of the congregation. A black
cat darted in front, of him, without
warning. and as the story goes, ten
steps later he was felled when heart
less bandit attacked him. The victim
was robbed and the assailant fed. And
all of this was attributed to the act
of the harmless feline.
History repeats itself in Douglas
Fairbanks current Big Four" produc-
ton, when the Clouds Roll By"
which will be shown at the Washing
ton Theatre today and tomorrow.
| Doug is not a clergyman and he Is
not attacked by thug, but a black
cat crosses his path. He just tightens
his muscles ana squares himself for a
mighty attack on this annoying super
stition, and smiles at the original
fable.
