"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.
