The act was fourteen minutes long on the full stage.
Mr. Edwards plays a star pitcher on a baseball team who agrees to throw a game for five thousand dollars to send to his ill mother. Doing so will lose his team the pennant. His sweetheart learns of his plan and convinces him not to do it, which incidentally earns him a loan to send to his mother anyway.
The story was consistent and was acted well. It does, however, sound like a dramatization of a dime novel which was written for boys only.
