NEWARK

Eugene Brieux's great sociological
drama, Damaged Goods" the play
which, according to the New York
Times. Initiates new epoch of civ
ilization," will again be given at the
Newark Theatre for the week begin
ming next Monday, with popular mat
nees Wednesday and Saturday
The story of the play centers in the
disaster which befalls a young man
who marries in defiance of his ply
sician's warning. The consequences
are overwhelmingly tragic. His child
is born to "a life of suffering and
shame; the young wife's illusion of a
noble love is irretrievably destroyed;
the grandmother, crying in the bitter
ness of her grief, would offer up her
soul as a sacrifice for the tainted Off
spring, but all Is useless.
From this climax of tragic woe the
allthor builds his message of hope for
a future generation which shall not
be handicapped by a conspiracy of
silence concerning the fundamental
facts of life.
Speaking through the physician of
the play, Brieux pleads not only for
q health certificate with every mar
rage license, but he urges a clearer
understanding of the mysteries of ma
ture for the rising generation, the
generation which is to be armed with
knowledge to combat the evils which
afflict the world today
Damaged Goods carries a lesson
of such tremendous power and con-
vincing logic, such vivid truth and
inevitability that it fairly sears from
the soul all sham and hypocrisy.
But with all its power and its
preaching, the play does not over
whelm one with gloom as does Ibsen's
Ghosts" for example. Brieux is es-
sentially an optimist, and although he
points out the evils of life, he goes
further and tells us how to correct
them

LYRIC

BY far the most unusual vaudeville
features that Newark has ever seen
will be brought forth for public en-
itertainment when the new vaudeville
bill opens at the Lyric, Monday. This
bill will be marked by the first Amer
lean appearance of Little Nap" a
prodigiously clever chimpanzee. His
sponsors claim that scientists who
have examined him say that his
brain is nearly that of human be-
ing and that the feats he performs
are done with a complete understand
ing and appreciation of what he is
about.
Little Nap is termed the Ma
poleon Of his species. He is certainly
one of the greatest monkeys which
have ever been seen on a stage. Lit
tie Nap" gives his entire performance
alone. He is the only educated CHM
panzee whose trainer does not appear
with him on the stage and this fact
goes far toward proving that the ami
NAL thinks and realizes what he is
doing and does not perform because
of his trainer. Little Nap, after
this engagement, leaves for New
York, where he will perform at A
leading vaudeville house at a salary
which is declared to be fabulous.
Numerous theatre-goers who have
so enjoyed that delightful character
comedy, Potash and Perlmutter, -
will find new playlet called, Isaac,
You Tell Her." a delightful bit OF
character comedy, much on the same
style, as a feature Of the Lyric bill.
There is a large cast in the Offer
ing.
Adele Oswald, musical comedy
prima donna, will have her first
appearance in popular vaudeville at
the Lyric in a beautiful singing
sketch. Boston, Vons and company,

PARAMOUNT

Mary Pickford, claimed by many
to be Americas most popular moving
pictureeactress. will appear in a five
part photoplay entitled Behind the
Scenes" at the Paramount Theatre all
next week. The picture, one of the
Famous Players, is said to be the
best that has yet been produced by
that company and embodies a most
charming love story.
On November 2, the Paramount
will adopt the policy of running two
feature pictures every week, changing
on Mondays and Thursdays But "Be-
hind the Scenes" will be at the Para
mount for the entire week.
AS an added attraction next week
The Orpheus Male Quartet of New
York city win sing four times on
wednesday and Saturday. The Quar-
tet is recognized as one of the best
of it's kind in New York city. In
their song, Swing Along they will
be sure to make an instantaneous hit
The personnel is: Elmer Hoelzle, first
tenor: George Gillet, second tenor; Al
vim Gillet, baritone, and Gilbert Will
son, basso. Besides the quartet Mr.
Wilson will sing his usual songs, and
Mae Sutton, the popular soprano, will
be at the theatre for a return en-
gagement.
Behind the Scenes as can be sur
missed, deals with the stage, or life
behind the scenes IT /; an old, old
story but one that will never grow
too old for anyone. The girl. living
on q farm, dreams of the life on the
stage, and Is sure she can conquer.
Through manager, pictured as an
overbearing person, she secures g.
part, and the rehearsals follow. She
does make good, and then finds her
self in love.
The scene in which she decides to
remain on the stage rather than
marry her sweetheart is one of the
strongest that has been pictured. Yet
the girl does not act with the same
enthusiasm as before, and when
grossly insulted by her manager, in
another remarkable scene, she leaves
the stage and the photoplay ends hap
PLY, as all good movies should.
Miss Pickford has an opportunity in
this play to use all her many charms
upon the audiences. Three other pic
lures besid the feature will be
shown.

SHUBERT

Commencing next Monday evening,
the Shubert Theatre will have for the
weeks attraction Olga Petrova. the
celebrated Anglo-Polish star, in
"Panthea,' that play of surprises and
sensations which had a spring run at
the Booth Theatre, New York, last
season. Those interested in the
theatre will doubtless remember the
praise won from the critics by both
star and play at that time
Nine. PetroVa for some years has
been a prominent figure in the drama
of London, Berlin, Paris and other
continental capitals. In "Panthea''
she had her first hearing as a dra-
matte artist in this country
Panthea, the heroine OF the play, is
a role that demands unusual his
trionic gifts, personal graces and emo
tional powers. She is 1.-the, mys-
teal creature, beautiful of face and
form, of distinctive manner and great
personal charm. A woman of infinite
love, to whom any self-sacrifice for
the one she loves is a pleasure.
The play, by Monckton IToffe,
author of .srhe Little Damosel," was
originally produced in London, where,
because it was different and deIved
into the depths of life in an uncon-
yentional manner and gave to the
theatre character that is veritable
tiger woman of love, it created wide
spread discussion.
The story deals with Panthea, a
political refugee, and her love for
Gerald, a young composer. For the
sake of her lovers success Panthea
sacrifices herself to Baron de Duisi-
tort, a producer of operas. He in re-
turn produces Gerald's opera. Gerald
learns at what price Panthea pur-
chased his success and he discards
her. Then Panthea kills the baron.
When Gerald realizes the motive for
Panthea's action he forgives her and
together they face exile in Siberia.
The play is in four acts, with
scenes laid in England and Paris
The supporting cast engaged by the
Messrs. Shubert is as follows: Carl
Sauerman, Charles Balsar, Mark
Price. Frank Annerly. Albert S. How
son, Elwyn Eaton, Viola Roach, Caro-
line Harris and Jane Sutherland. The
engagement will include matinee
