The last picture, "The Widow's Kiss," was a revelation. Coyly the widow submitted to the embrace of her lover, ans when, after twirling his moustache as a preparatory step, he imprinted a kiss on her lips the reality was so startling that thunders of applause followed.

"May Irwin and John C. Rice in 'The Widow Jones,' a stage hit of 1896, from which the Edison studio photographed a scene entitled 'The May Irwin Kiss.' Then and there censorship was born".
