"Damaged Goods"
The story of '' Damaged Goods''
which comes to the Majestic to morrow
afternoon and evening is that of a
Young man who refuses to follow the
adtfee of his physician who tells him
that marriage for him in his present
physical condition would be a frightful
vrime against the women he loves and
ug&inst the future generation. The re-
Butts of the young man's sins are seen
Sn the second act where aaU the hap
piness wtic'h he is enjoying with liis
wilfe and baby girl, there enters the
"dreed spectre of hereditary disease.
But unlike Ibsen, Brieux is" not a
pessimist. Having shown the conse
quences of evil, the French dramatist
■points a way out of difficulty and in
tipires 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
|wbich will require a health certificate
With every marriage license.
Richard Bennett, the producer of the
play, 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 Pulton
Theatre, Xew York, and which went
with him to Buffalo to present "Dam
aged Goods" beifore the International
Congress on School Hygiene, at the re
quest of Congress. "Damaged Goods"
has been described by the Xew York
"Times" as "The play which initiates
n new epoch of civilization."—Aid-v. *
"Twin Beds"
Seats for the engagement of Selwyn
& Cq. 's big laugh festival, '<Twin
Beds," will go on 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 found
necessary, owing to the large number of
mail orders which have been received
by Manager Hopkins. With their usual
care and foresightedness Selwyn & Co.

' 'Robin Hood" '
James Stevems, the leading baritone
with the de Koven Opera Company,
which will be seen here in ' ' Robin
Hood" at the Majestic next Wednes
| day aifternoon and evening, was sur
| prised in Seattle last season to find «a
I stranger waiting for him at the stage
j door. He was greeted with the re
| mark, '' I knew you were a hero in real
! life and now I find you playing one on
the stage." The story follows:
Stevens is the proud possessor of a
ranch near Modford, Oregon, on which
he spends his vacations. One day while
prowling through the woods, he was at
tracted by a shot and the scream of a
mountain lion. 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, evidently "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 lit
The famous Boston Opera Company,
loug 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, ihe foremost
of American tenors and himself a Bos
touian, combined his own splendid or
ganization, The Sheehan Opera Com
pany, 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 Yerdi's beautiful opera "II Trova
tore,which will go down in history as
the most remarkable effort of its kind
in this country. —Adv. *
At the Orpheum
I'uique an<l novel, "The Fashion
Shop," the headliner at the Orpheum
I his week, has attracted a, remarkable
amount of interest among ttte Harris
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 dlull 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 almosi.
every important city on the Keith cir
cuit.
Pretty scenic effects, delightful sce
nery, elaborate costuming, along with
good comedy and tuneful lyrics, mak*>
"The Fashion 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

At the Colonial
"Vacation Land," a rattling comedy I
act presented by a olever'cast with'its
scene laid in a school room, is creating
an upheaval of laughter at the "Bufcy
Corner." The girls in the act aro
clever, while the rough-house comedy .'is
taken care of by the youths of the cast,
and the teacher. The act consists of
excellent comedy sprinkled with good
songs. Also on this bill Mr. and Mre.
Mark Murphy, local favorite*, are wa

"Clancy's Ghost." These t»wo acts':aire
indeed clever for the Colonial, m fact
either one of them is seldom seen at the
prices in vogue there. A comedy li/uo

at its initial performances yesterday

Faced Death Twice
Dorothy Kellcy and Jimuiie Morri
son, of the Vitagraph Company, faced
death twice in the two-act Vitagraiifiii
drama, at the Photoplay to-dav, -in

phaned child, who is picked up from 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. This marvelous life portiayal
brings to us a new realization of the
mysterious workings of fate, fortune-or
whatever you call it in bringing .to
gether two loving hearts after a seiles
of hardships which have apparently
separated them forever. Adv.*
Lillian Russell at the Regent To-day
In keeping with the policy, of se
curing the bei-t for the benefit of its
patrons the Regent announces as its
feature for to-day Lillian Russell in
"Wild Fire." To the amusement pub
lic the peerless Lillian needs 110 intro
duction. The mere mention of her name
seems 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 fllie has ap
peared and many are the times when
crowded houses have caused doors ,o
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. So do not mif's the Harrisburg
favorite. You have paid • prices to
see her at our local theatres—come
and see her at our public price in mo
