That Walter , Johnson, the Senators' great pitcher, j who leads all the American League j twlrlers to date this year in the num ber of strike-outs, is to be disposed of before the 1918 season opens, is a report which has not only been freely circulated in Washington, but which in many quarters is given credence.

To-day, to-morrow and Wednesday the Colonial offers what is probably the biggest (turn Klmlinll Young; screen event In "Tlie ICuxleMt Wny" of tho sea son, Clara Kimball Young in "The Easiest Way,"by Eugene Walter, As origi nally produced for the stage by David Belasco "The Easiest Way" was de clared by critics throughout the coun try to be the greatest drama ever written by an American playwright. Eugene Walter, already famous be cause of his "Paid in Full," leaped to the pinnacle of fame among native dramatists, from which he never has fallen. His incisive thrusts at the very heart of American problems, re vealing at the same time the strength and weakness of men and women, have placed him in a class by himself. Miss Young, as Laura Murdock, has the most powerful Vole of her entire career, and her acting is supreme. Ir. the supporting cast will be seen Jo seph Kilgour, who was leading man for Frances Starr in the original Be lasco production. An added feature along with this big program will be supplied by the Mack Sennett-Key stone Company, and is a funny two reel feature entitled, "Skidding Hearts." Mae Murray, in "The Primrose Ring," will be the main attraction at the Regent Theater ; Mne Murray to-day. Mies Murray i nt the Regent is seen as a nurse in a children's hospital, i and amuses the children with thrilling j fairy stories of goblins, elves, plumed knights and fairy glens. The little nurse has fallen deeply in love with the handsome young head doctor of the hospital, and when he forces her to stop amusing the children with her wonderful fairy tales she promptly resigns. How matters are finally straightened out and how the prim rose ring is woven about the little nurse and the young doctor ,and the fairies go mad with joy, is presented, in a most novel, charming and won-' ||derful fashion. To-morrow Vivian Martin will be presented in "Giving Becky a Chance."
