"DAMAGED GOODS" 15 POM PLAY "Brieux's Play a Strong Argument For Eugenic Marriages; Effective Drama To those who have questioned the t?alue o{ the drama as a factor in sex education, the presentation last night by Mr. Bennett and his company of Brieux's "Damaged Goods," was a de cisive answer. It proved conclusively -that subjects of this character can serve an effective dramatic motive. The frank discussion of one of the so-called "social diseases." which is the basis of the play, is handled by the dramatist In a manner which could not offend any serious minded man or wo man. Thero is no catering to the purl ent-mlnded sensation seeker. It dis cusses with sincerity and conviction a subject which lias been tabooed by so ciety with disastrous results. there has been much talk of late years re garding health and hygiene, but until recently the prejudice against the un rovering of this festering sore lias been too strong to be overcome. The facts which every medical man and social worker has confronted these many years, prove a startling revela tion as handled by the dramatist. The ethical content of "Damaged Goods*' is superior to the great majority of the plays which have been presented of recent years in which the subject has been sex problems or the consequences of vice. In the majority of these offerings the playwright has deftly shifted the bur den of responsibility for the moral ter pitude of the principal characters upon society. "Damaged Goods" places the greater responsibility upon the indi vidual. A play which displavs so forcefully the weaknesses of both human nature and our social svstem must necessarily propound many ques tions for which no solution is sug gested. It Is not fair to demand of the dram atist that he solve the problems with which mankind has struggled In vain. If he presents a true picture he lias vindicated his art. Brieux does more than this, however, he presents a brief to the court of public opinion which is a powerful argument for the considers- I tion of good health as a primary re quisite for marriage His argument might also be con strued as an Indictment of the medical profession for observing secrecy re garding a disease which threatens not alone the lives and health of the pres ent generation, but the children yet unborn. Such a play as "Damaged Goods" suggests so many topics of vital im portance relating to social welfare that one has a tendency to lose sight of the actor. This Is after all the greatest compliment to the artistry of Mr Ben nett and his company. To the manv who have enjoyed the excellent work which he has done the portrayal of "George Dupont" by Mr. Bennett was no surprise. His ability to emphasize the tragic situation by a lightness of touch in the less tragic moment was admir able. It is to be hoped that tills first man agerial venture of this star will prove to be only a stepping stone to other e«liial<V \Worthy effort*. 1 Louis Bennison. as the "Doctor," gave THURSDAY EVENING, is developed in crepe tie chine, but looks well in all of the soft silk fin ished materials. For the woman of overage size. 4J4 yards of 44-inch ma terial will be required, and as the fashionable effects in crepe de chine range from $1.50 to $5.50 per yard, one can be either economical or extrava gant in selecting the dreas. Notable features of the waist are the yoke, round collar, and lapel effect intrcrffuc ed in the adjustment. The collar b •mart if made of a contrasting materi al. which may also be used to cover the buttons. The skirt is cut in four pieces, and the front may be finished in either straight or rounded effect. To cut the dress, place pieces of pattern with edge marked by triple "TTT" perforation on a lengthwise fold, except stay which is placed on a crosswise fold and remaining pieces with line of large "O" perforations on a lengthwise thread of material. For large collar in rounded outline, cut off lower part on small "o" perfora tions, Cut off extension of left front on small "o" perforations. Cut off front edge of left front gore, and back edge of right back gore on per forations. For the waist, close under-arm seam as notched. Gather edges of front and back between double *"TT" perfo rations. Sew shoulder edge of back to front as notched. Center-front in dicated by large "O" perforations. Sew large collar to neck edge, and standing collar to shield as notched. Adjust shield to position matching corres ponding perforations in shield and in back. Sew stay to front and back, centers even, small "o" perforations at under-arm seam. To make the Bishop sleeve, close seam as notched, gather lower edge between double "TT" perforations. Turn under edge of cuff on slot per forations. lap to small "o" perfora tions, notches even and fasten with buttons. Sew to sleeve, notches even, small "o" perforation at seam. Sew in armhole, seam at notch in front. For the skirt, turn under edges of right front and left back gores on slot perforations, lap on left front and right back gores, centers even (large "0" perforations indicate center-front and center-back); stitch to position leaving edges of front gores free a bove large "O" perforations for pack et Plait back gore, creasing on slot perforations, lap to small "o" perfora tions oand stitch. Sew to lower edge of waist over stay, centers even. a satisfying rendition of a part which in less hands might have been talky at times. Olive Tenipleton was charm ing as the young wife, and Maud Mil ton gave the part of "Mme. Dupont" its full dramatic value. Joseph Weber, as "Loches," was satisfying. Adrlenne Morrison played the girl In a convinc ing manner. Those who were fortunate enough to see "Damaged Goods" will not soon for get the play and its lesson. It has been widely read and discussed, but such a rendition as Mr. Bennett and his "co-workers" gave, make it a pow erful and genuinely impressive ser mon.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ■sens AT AUTOMOBILE SHOW Many Interesting Displays at Four teenth Annual Exhibition in New York By Special CorresponciMMv New Yorlf. Jan. B.—Harrisburg, as usual, is well represented at the Four teenth Annual Automobile Show, now being held in the Grand Central Palace. With record attendance Tuesday that exceeded by 25 per cent, the combined attendance of the Grand Central Palace and Madison Square Garden of last year, it <*an readily be seen that this national manufacturers' show has a charm even for those who live hundreds of miles away. The most popular feature of the show this year is the displaying of all exhibits under one roof. The archi tectural beauty and arrangement of the present building requires very little additional decorative effect or alteration, while Madison Squire Gar den had to be practically rebuilt in side and draped to make it present able for such an exposition. The show colors are white and green. The white walls and marble columns are draped and entwined with smllax and flowers. Statues of "Mo toira," the goddess of motoring, are mounted on pedestals marking the dviision line between the various ex hibits. Increase in Sixes The increased number of sixes: the coming of the light six: the electric gear shift; the two-speed rear axle; stream-line bodies; the introduction of the cycle cars, and a greater num ber with left-side drive—these are the most notable changes apparent among this year's models. Of seventy-nine manufacturers show ing gasoline cars llfty-four display sixes and eighteen of these makers build nothing but six-cylinder cars. Five years ago only eight companies built sixes. No noticeable change in motor con struction has been brought out this year beyond the increase in small bore. high-speed engines, but some important mechanical changes are ap parent. Extra tonneau seats that fold entirely out of sight are being adopted quite generally. Bodies Are Changed Convertible bodies are shown that may be used in either open roadster effect or coupe. This makes it pos sible to make a change in the body with very little trouble. The tenth annual automobile salon in the grand ballroom of the Hotel Astor is attracting thousands. Here the coach builders' art is displayed at Its best among the various foreign and American models. The American coach builders have shown their abil ity to not only copy the best foreign coachwork, but show that they are able to create beautiful and exclusive designs of their own. There are 350 exhibitors, all told, including cars, accessories and motor cycles. The cars range In price from $7,200 to a trim little runabout for $395. local Men There C. D.
