"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*.

fashionable effects in crepe de chine
range from $1.50 to $5.50 per yard, one

features of the waist are the yoke,
round collar, and lapel effect intrcrffuc

The skirt is cut in four pieces, and
the front may be finished in either

To cut the dress, place pieces of

crosswise fold and remaining pieces
with line of large "O" perforations on
a lengthwise thread of material. For

For the skirt, turn under edges of

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. Stewart, of Harrisburg. is as
sisting Mr. Gerber in the management
of the Abbott-Detroit exhibit. C. C.

the Hudson display and his new acqui
sition, the Krit. Robert 1,. Morton

in the Miller tire display.
GUNS NOT OBSOLETE
Washington, D. C\. Jan. B.—Major
General Wood, chief of staff of the
army, has advised the house military
affairs committee that while there is
danger of the field artillery or other
large type of guns used by the army
becoming outclassed by newer guns
there is no danger of their becoming
obsolete because "we are approaching
the limit of strength of materials."

come to the United States to show Americans the Nautch dances of India.
She thinks they will create much Interest, for no one has ever done these
dances gracefully here. Miss Roslmnara was forbidden by her parents to
practice these dances while she lived in India, but she says she went out
among the natives and learned how to dance them, and now she feels that
she is as much of an adept as the best Indian dancers.
