To-morrow night Annie Russell in the old English comedy, "She Stoops to Conquer." Saturday, January 10. matinee and night—"Within the Law." All next week —"The Inside of the White Slave Traffic." "DAMAGED GOODS" Klchard Bennett and his original New York company of co-workers will present the startingly frank drama, "Damaged Goods" at the Majestic Theater to-day, matinee and night. This play has stirred the serious minded public of America as no other drama produced on the American stage within the last twenty years. Absolute frankness of the discussion of the social evil and the "social dis ease," saves the play from any charge of suggestlveness, for it presents the vivid picture of sexual excesses rather than any other of the allurements of vice. As one noted editor has said, "far from being immoral, 'Damaged Goods' is so moral that it is religious." The play tells the pitiful story of a young man who marries while suffer ing from a terrible blood taint; he brings woe and disease upon his inno cent wife and helpless child. From this tragic situation the author points the way to a finer and a happier type of manhood through a clearer under standing of the fundamental facts of life.—Advertisement.
