'' Damaged Goods''
The story o>f "Damaged Goods"
which comes to the Majestic to-morrow
afternoon and evening is that of a
■young man who refuses to follow the
advice of his physician who tells him
that marriage for him iji his present
yhyaical condition would be a frightful
crime against the women he loves and
against the future generation. The re
uufts of the young man'» sins are seen
6n the second act where amid the hap
ipiness whie'h he is enjoying with his
■wife and baby girl, there enters the
"dread spectre'of hereditary disease.
But unlike Ibsen, Brieux is* not a
pessimist. Having shown the conse
quences of evil, the French dramatist
joints % way out of difficulty and in
hpi res the spectators with a feeling
that they have it in their power to aid
humanity by leading their influence to
ward the establishment of a custom
twhioh will require a health certificate
With every marriage license.
Richard Bennett, the producer of the
j>lay, has engaged a company of excep
tional merit to present '' Damaged
Goods." It is essentially the same or
ganization that supported him during
the long run of the piece at the Fulton
Theatre, New York, and which went
with him to Buffalo to preseut "Dam
aged Goods" beifore the International
Congress on School Hygiene, at the re
quest of Congress. "Damaged Goods"
has been described by the New York
"Times" as "The play Which initiates
a new epoch of civilization." —Adv. *
"Twin Beds"
Seats for the engagement of Selwyn
& Cp.'s big laugh festival, "Twin
Beds," will go ou sale to-morrow morn
ing at the Majestic. The return en
gagement of Margaret Mayo's bril
liant, clean and uproarious farce, will
be on next Tuesday. The engagement
■will be for one day only with a special
matinee. The latter has been foand
necessary, owing to the large number of
mail orders which have been received
by Manager Hopkins. With their usual
care and foresigtotedness Selwyn & Co.

"Robin Hood" 1
•Tames Stevens, the leading baritone
with the de Itoven Opera Company
•which wiH be seen here in '' Robin
Hood" at the Majestic next Wednes
day alfternoon apd evening, was sur
prised in Seattle last season to find . a
stranger waiting for him at the stage
•door. He was greeted with the re
mark, "I knew you were a hero in veal
life and now I find you piaying one on
the stage." The story follows:
Stevens is the proud possessor of a
ranch near Medford, Oregon, on which
he spends his vocations. One day while
prowling through the woods, he was at
tracted by a shot and the scream of a
mountain Hon. He hurried in the di
rection in time to see the wounded
beast about to spring upon a hunter,
who was vainly snapping his magazine
rifle, eviilently"having neglected to load
it to its capacity. As the lion sprang
through the air, Stevens brought him
down with a well-directed shot, there
by saving the hunter's life.
He proved to be a Mr. Ferris, of
Sacramento, and left' immediately for
his home. .Stevens had not seen him
since, until he was found singing "Lit
tle John" in "Robin Hood."—Adv. #
Coming March 13
The famous Boston Opera Company,
long identified with the musical uplift
of that city, early in August, announced
that owing to the inability of some of
its artists to fulfill their contracts, the
season of 1914-1915 would be sus
pended.
i Upon confirmation of that announce
ment Joseph F. Sheehan, the foremost
| of American tenors and himself a Bos
! tonian, combined his own splendid or
ganization, The tfbeehan Opera Com
panv, with the best available artists al
ready in this country and naming this
aggregation of stars, The Boston Eng
lish Opera Company, made a production
of Verdi's beautiful opera "11 Trova
tore,'' which will go down in history as
the most remarkable effort of its kind
in this country.—Adv. *
At the Orpheum
I'nique and novel, "The Fashion
Shop," the headliner at the Orpheum
this week, has attracted a, remarkable
amount of interest among ttie Hftrris
burg theatregoers. This act is certain
ly new and unlike anything that has
been seen in this city. The ideas car
ried out by the promoter, Hugo Jansen,
are entertaining and educational. In
addition to displaying the styles and
modes Mr. Jansen has combined wit and
humor along with catchy music, so that
there is not one dluil moment during the
entire act. Mr. Jansen declares that it
cost him SB,OOO to produce his act. The
troupe began its road trip at the begin
ning of the present theatrical season,
and in this time has appeared in almost
every important city on the Keith cir
cuit.
Pretty scenic effects, delightful sce
nery, elaborate costuming, along with
good comedy and tuneful lyrics, niak. (
"The Fasihion Shop,'' a very pleasing
one-act musical comedy. Some of the
other excellent attractions of this bill
include a comedy playlet entitled
"Twenty Odd Years," presented by
(Harry Beresford and company, and
Kramer and Morton, two excellent
'blackface funsters. Chief of the big
features slated to appear at the Or
pheum next week will be the first local
vaudeville appearance of Miss Trixio
Friganza, the celebrated musical com
' <- k
edy star. Also Helen,. Grace and com
pany in a new sparkling comedy.—
Adr.' #
At the Colonial
"Vacation Land," a rattling comedy
act presented by a oleVer 'ca»t with its
scene laid in a school room, is creating
an upheaval of laughter at the " Bu'sy
Corner." The girls in the act axo
clever, while the rough-house
taken care of by the youths of the cast,
and the teacher. The act consists of
excellent comeQy sprinkled wi& good
songs. Also on this bill Mr. and Mrs.
Mark Murphy, local favorites, are win
ning favor with Colonial audiences in
their screeching comedy playlet called
"Clancy's Ghost." These bwp acts'.aire
indeed clever for the Colonial, m fact
either one of them is seldom seen at the
prices in vogue there. A comedy ilfuo
and a dainty songstress complete tho
vaudeville roster. The biW ma le a'hit
at its initial performances yesterday
and will likely duplicate this success
during the remainder of the week. —

Faced Death Twice
Dorothy Kelley and Jimuiie Morri
son, of the Vitagraph Comtpauy, faced
death twice in the two-act Vitagraipii
drama, at the Photoplay to-day, -in
"Twice Rescued." Nana, the or
phaned child, who is picked up front a
terrible shipwreck by Stephen Royston,
a young farmer, is adopted by Steph
en 's parents and both Stephen and his
brother, Geoffrey, soon learn to love
the girl. Tliis marvelous life portrayal
brings to us a new realization of the
mysterious workings of fate, fortune or
whatever you tali it in bringing to
gether two loving hearts after n series
of hardships whieih have apparently
separated them forever. Adv.*
Lillian Russell at the Regent To-day
In keeping with t'he policy of se
curing the bei-t for the benefit of its
patrons the Regent announces as its
feature for today Lillian Russell in
"Wild Fire." To the amusement pub
lic the peerless Lillian needs no intro
duction. The mere mention of her name
scorns to carry with it a hearty greet
ing. Her name, as a headliner ou the
billboards always enhanced the receipts
at the box office wherever she has Ap
peared and many arc the times when
j crowded houses have cttused doors
| be closed, so great has been the de
mand of an admiring public to see the
wonderful grace, and sublime carriage
of this beautiful actress displayed in
the different characters she has repre
| sented. 8o do not mitts the Harrisburg
' favorite. You have paid !>'.> prices to
j see her at our local theatres—come

i dienne, Florence Nash, will appear in

an exquisite romance of the South be

Little 1s beard of the silent and efficient work that the smaller vessels of the British fleet are constantly carrying out—work wblfb ts of necessity
done whether the weather be fair or foul. The patrol Is chiefly employed In keeping watch and guard along the coast, and during the rough days and nights
of the last few months the work has been of the hardest, and the destroyers employed bare shown that they are well built: otherwise many would hav#
been driven to the bottom by stress of weather. Of the silent handymen that form the crews of these complex boxes o? machinery little is heard, yet they
are performing a task which severely tests the constitution of the best among them. The illustration, drawn especially for this newspaper, the New York
Herald and the London Sphere, depicts the deck of one of these destroyers :it work In a moderate sea On the.horizon can be observed two mine-sweepers *
