a friend of Pierre told him "a woman

For further particulars ap-
ply at the Columbia Theater all this
week, and examine Damaged Goods"
In the year 1891 there came to this
country dramatizauon Of q French
novel, 'The Clemenceau Case" The
drawing episode Of the play. which. by
the way. is said to have been a very
good one, was at the beginning Of the
second act. Pierre Clemenceau. a
French artist, used his wife for a
model. All this sounded beautifully in
the book. In the dramatization la re-
quired something called realism to car
ry off the scene. So the dramatist ar
ranged a beautiful pedestal in the mid
die Of the stage, and for a single mo-
ment, at the beginning Of the scene.
there was vision Of a woman in flesh
ings, standing on said pedestal But
as the curtain rose, Friend Husband
dashed bravely forward, with a bath
robe and clothed the lady.

caused the cancellation of the license
of a theater, and allowed musical
comedy to make great success by
filling the time following the suppress
sion Of "The Clemenceau Case"
All of which Is another story, but is in
teresting in relation to the presenta-
ton to the public Of Damaged Goods"
Damaged Goods has been seen and
heard and discussed In Washington be-
fore. On its first appearance here II
was not offered to the public, but was
presented at An Invitation" perform
ance, and it is fair to presume that the
audience was selected. Last night II
received a public presentation where
the only requirement to listen to a
thorough discussion Of a subject which
ordinarily is confined to clinics was the
| ability to pay the required amount OF
money at the box office.
I hardly believe it possible that

ence between twenty-five years ago and
today.
There probably win be three distinct
points Of view regarding the advisable
ity Of presenting Damaged Goods to
the general public. and IT would hardly
be possible for any critic to assume to
offer an opinion as to which viewpoint
was the proper one. As the doctor, who
incidentally il one Of the best charac-
ters in the play. puts 1t. there are many
things that should be made known to
every human being in childhood. There
are others who believe that only moth
ers should tell daughters and sons these
who have never been able to see the ne
cessity Of talking OF these subjects
either In the family circle or on the
stage.
But there can be no question that the
play Damaged Goods is the goods. Sc
truth Is concerned. There also is No
question but what its presentation
along the regular theatrical route OF
week stands and night stands VIII
| arouse much interest and discussion.
The best prediction for its success car
be found in the fact that its salient
points met with applause from the
audience at the Columbia Theater last
night. While they were silent following
the more daring lines. they never
seemed to fail to grasp the real point
either of an episode or an argument
and the climax of either met nos only
with recognition but audible approval
