"a Royal Family and in "Impru-
dence," Mr. Bennett shared honors
with the respective stars, Miss Annie
Russell and William Faversham.
When Damaged Goods was pro-
duced in Chicago last fall, the lead
ing newspapers of the city sent two
reviewers each. one. the regular crit
ic, and the other, medical expert.
The verdict was a double indorse-
ment of the play both from a dra-
matte standpoint and a tremendously
impressive and truthful scientific pre-
sentat ton of the dangers of the
social disease"
The play will be given at the New
ark Theatre next week by the entire
original New York company includ-
ing Adrienne Morrison, who plays the
vivid role of the girl, the character
who is described by the doctor in
the play as the cause and effect of
the whole social problem.

composed several very important
numbers for the piece, using these
airs as the fundamental theme. There
is a curious little story connected
with these melodies. some years ago
when Mr. Olcott was in Dublin. he
visited an old bookshop, where he ex-
pected to discover some rare por-
traits of which ffs was in search. His
attention was called to collection Of
old musical manuscripts, which
proved to be a number of old Irish
airs made by an enthusiastic mus-
clan, who took them down from the
singing of the peasants. The airs

music of "Shameen Dhu'' are said By
experts TO be very ancient. and ars
