Citizen Warning Public to

= following letter was received
by the management of the Robinson

pursue is to publish both Mayor
Coles and Mr.. Gcodwin's letter:
Mayor Coles letter is as follows:

"Gentlemen:
Il am closing herewith letter re-
ceived by me from one OF our citizens
in reference to a coming attraction
which is booked to appear in your
house, Saturday, December 5, 1914
called Damaged Goods
while it Is not my intention to in
terfcre with the owners as to the
manner in which they shall conduct
their business, still as mayor OF the
city, l feel 1t my d,ity to call your
attention to the complaint registered,
and suggest that You see that the
theatergoers are informed as to the
nature of the performance and to
know just what they will see.
Very truly yours,
Nv. H. COLE, Mayor"
The following is the letter received
from Mr.. Goodwin:
ITO the Hon. w. H. Cole,
Mayor, City Of Clarksburg, w. Va.
Dear Sir:
Having noticed in the Telegram
that in the near future, the Robinson
Grand will have an attraction called
Damaged Goods, wish to take a few
minutes Of your time in expressing
my views to you. do not know
whether you are acquainted with the
nature of the performance or no, but
feel sure II you were you would no
doubt interest yourself in the mat
ter. Last winter while l was in st.
Louis this attraction was playing
that city, and one evening picked
up from the sidewalk an advertising
pamphlet pertaining to the play.
After reading 1t thoroughly and
noticing the many distinguished peo-
pie who had signed testimonials in
praise of the attraction, / decided to
go and see it.
Imagine my surprise to see crowds
flocking into the Olympic theater in
droves. After great deal of diff
Guilty managed to secure seat
Not knowing the nature OF the
performance at that time l was
shocked beyond expression at the
theme Of the play. The story, Of all
the weird things l have ever seen,
this is the limit. ] am not phys.c-
ian and possibly that is one OF the
reasons that am unable to apprec-
late the true worth of this particular
performance, but am a regular
theatergoer and want to say that
this attraction should be dissected by
you, before 1t is allowed to open
here, and want to advise all before
they go to see it, to try and find out
what 1t is all about. A story such as
this perhaps is all right for st. Louis
and New York, but 1 honestly be-
lieve that Clarksburg theatergoers
will gasp with amazement at the
strong lines and situations.
Yours respectfully,
y. H. GOODWIN"

even With NORTH end

Manager Ellicott and his Silver
brook warriors went to North East,
Nd, on Saturday, slated to play a
double header with the North East
team. but upon arriving on the field
for the morning game we're informed
that Elk Mills. of the Tri-County
League, composed the North East
team.
Wise was sent on the mound for
the Brokers and it was a pitchers
battle between Wise and Finn, each
pitcher allowing but five hits. Two
of the BROKERS hits were for extra
bases; Kenworthey being credited
with two-bagger, while Crooks ham
mered the sphere for triple Finn
made a two-bagger for the home
team. The winning run was scored in
the ninth inning by Coslett being safe
on Loeber's tumble at first, his steal
of second and a hit to right field
which Kenworthey relayed in time TO
catch the runner at the home station
but for Harbns' error. The Brook
ers gave their opponents a scare
when they scored in the first inning.
The game was hard fought from start
to finish. Score 4 to 3. Crooks made
two great catches, robbing North
East of what looked like three bag
gers.
