Es pecially when she sings "All Wrong!" a little ditty which Is ono of the most human pieces of Broadway put Into song wa havo heard these many days. At Keith's, where she is appearing, Miss Franklin sings other songs with which her name and type Is associated. Adelaide once known aa La Petite Adelaide and J. J. Hughes present a clever dancing act. Mme. Dorea presents a large company in "Great Moments from Grand Opera." Others on the bill include Charles Thompson, a clever Juggler; Irene and Bobby Smith, who sing and dance; Andrew F, Kelley, who tells sto ries, some of which are good, others not; Haw thorne and Inglls, who are relics of the days when the unlntellectual mostly went to vaude ville, and tho limber "Lunatlo Bakers." "Damaged Goods" Eugene Brleux's much discussed play, or dramatic message, called "Damaged Goods," was presented by a capable company of, "Rloh ard Bennett's co-workera" to an attentive mixed audience which gathered, doubtless un der the Impulse of many different motives, at the Walnut Street Theatre laat evening. Whether or not the furore which has adver tised It ever since a French censor turned It over to America has been due rather to certain peculiarities of the public mind rather than to th content and purpose of the play itself, the criticism cannot be made q it that a good sermon was spoiled to make a bad play. For "Damaged Goods" mut be Judged aeoordlng to the advertising whleh the public has given It, and the publlo is not hugely Interested In this particular play as an exampje of dramatic art. Its truth and Its power, however, suffi ciently guarantee Its place In either classifi cation.

THE DRAMA rT'Tr"rn iifTinnniinniirniin MiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiniimiiiniftuaMMMOT IRENE FRANKLIN Keith's A BRIDE ELOPES, DESERTING GROOM "The Beautiful Adventure" an Amusing Play, Tense With Delicate, But Always Quite Proper, Complications. A bride nrrnyed in nil her wedding finery, veil, wreath of orniigo flowers, and yet, with tho time of tho wedding Just a quarter of nn hour awa, miserably unhappy such Is tho charming, yet pathetic, figure who appears In the first net of "Tho Beautiful Adventure," the comedy by H. do Flers and A Dccnlllavet, which opened a week's engagement last night nt tho Broad Street Theatre. Evory ono loves a bride, and tho play ap peals at once. Evory one, too, commlsorntca with nn unwilling brldo, or an unhappy bride, and of course Helono de Trovlllao nt once arouses sympathy. Let It bo said thero have been few more winsome brides, or more pa thotlo brides, than tho bride of this delight fully French and altogether appealing comedy as portrayed by Ann Murdock. Brides aro common enough, but brides who regret their decision at tho last minute ah, we would not bo cynical! Heleno suffers a tedious conversation with Valentin Lo Barroyer, tho bridegroom-to-be, who typifies thoso mothodlcnl, painstaking, matter-of-fact folk wo all know, and who takes memoranda of all articles to bo taken on the honoymoon. Heleno tells Valentin of the place In the country where they nro to spend their honey moon, of tho birds, flowers nnd trees which were her friends, and the unromantlc dolt re plies that "one really cannot make friends with trees." Heleno is distracted. The wedding bells nro ringing. But at tho crucial moment Andre, with whom Heleno Is in love, turns up. Andre's mother, to frustrate a marriage with Heleno, who is poor, has wickedly lied, telling Helene that Andre wanted to break the matter off. Therefore Helene had engaged herself to the olderly Valentin. We presume that, well acted, Andre might bo a sympathetic hero. Jerome Patrick, In tho part, Is merely an animated fashion plate. At nny rate, despite unappealing actors, plays go on, and Heleno elopes with Andre. Helena's grandmother, Madame de Trovlllac, In order to surprise her grandchild, has gone to Helena's country place, where she Is to spend her honeymoon. Mrs. Thomas Whlffen whom dramatic critics who use unexpuragated press agent matter, always refer to as "dear Mrs. Thomas Whlffen" Is a grandmother after one's heart, and her work is the beat in the play. When Helene arrives with Andre she mistakes Andre for tho huBband. And here is the weak spot in the comedy, The plot revolves upon Andre's failure to disclose the facts of the flight and the two staying at the house all night. Their blundering efforts to telt tho truth are not In tho least convincing. It would have been so slmplo a thing to do. However, until the final denouement, when all ends happily, amusing complications follow rapidly.

Review below. "HINDLE WAKES" The Little Thcatro Brings Philadelphia n Res markablc English Play. In "Hlndlo Wakea,' tho remarkable Bngllth play which the Little Theatre brought to Phil nil el phi a last nlg-ht, tho lato Stanley Houghton treats tho old thome of the dual moral coda from an original angle. Ho applies tho aclen-1 tlat's method. Ho drops the old game of Bet-' tins up an argument pro or con. Ho almply proaenta facta. They aet us thinking that hu man conduct haa considerably overrun the con ventions which are supposed to govern it, all by presenting a caae that we recognize as plausibly truo. Fanny's Is a rather astonishing case to many of us. In spite of all story-book notions, here Is a mill girl who doean't necessarily want tu marry tho rich younger man with whom she has run off for a lark. Tho obvious aclenHfic, interest of all this la the discovery which wo aro all making that young women of our day,, quite able to earn their own living, are assert ing tho right to choose their own pleasurea and their spouses qulto as young men have always done. ; The play acts forth tho return of Panny from nor lark to And the truth known to her parent nnd through them to the boy's family. From; that it carries us on to consider tho varloua. views of all the people concerned: tho father, of tho boy, who Insists on marriage; the moth er, who la "worldly wlae" and anxious to "save" her con; the fiancee, who ia ready tp forgive but determined to hold him to what ho has done; her blase father, who 'upholds the dual code from other motives. The father of the boy a fine, crl8p study of domineering common Bense, acted with as cool a. Justice by, Ian Maclaren browbeats all these Into accept ing the marriage. .And then Fanny, , hitherto unconaulted, topples the whole thing oyer with a declaration as startling and full of Import as Nora's In "A Doll's House." She haa had hor fun with hlmj when she wants a husband she'll get herself a real man. Finely characterized throughout and as con sistently acted especially by "Whltford Kane ai tho girl's simple old father tolling truth in the terms of personality and emotion, without factitious excitement or wordy argument, this, new "Doll's House" marks itaelf one of the notable plays of the new century in Cngland.- i AMUSEMENTS GARRICK Last 5 Evgs. a; VICTOR HERBERT Will Conduct wJdnesdayilatPnei TT A TITT .
