In the meantime the secretary has
arrived, and the misguided Percy has
secreted her In a room while he deals
with the fair burglar" The wife
discovers her and locks her in. Then
she leaves the apartment, locking
Percy in Here there Is a funny
scene between Percy and the secre-
tary. who tries to climb over the
transom of the bedroom to get into
the living room. This plan falling,
she gives Percy hairpin with which
to pick the lock, and at this moment
the janitor enters with policeman.
Percy Is jerked off to JAIL none too
gently. and the janitor steals the
Jewels while the Mortified secretary
watches from the transom.
Left alone, the secretary tries to
get over the transon. Failing, she
makes q loop of her stocking, catches
the telephone from its table and
phones for aid.
The second act finds Roberts
father-in-law on the scene, knowing
all about the secretary and anxious
to have her removed. Robert, who
knows nothing of her presence In the

by the way, is the name of a horse
on which Hardy's hopes are centered.
OF course, he wins his race before
the drop of the final curtain.
There are several loose ends which
we'd like to see gathered up, how
ever. For instance, why didn't some
body arrest the janitor when Percy
found him with the jewels in his
pocket? And why didn't the secre-
tary tell of seeing him take them?
And where was the wife until l o'clock
in the morning? She didn't tell.

cast into oblivion. But, please, author
and producer, begin at once this most

DAMAGED GOODS"
IN TWO THEATRES

Brieux's great play, Damaged
Goods" which has been creating a
sensation In every city where 1t has
been presented, will be produced here
next week simultaneously at the New
ark and by the Forsberg Players at
the Orpheum.
The play is probably the most re-
markable dramatic performance of
the problem" class that has ever
been produced anywhere. 1t deals
with a subject which is absolutely
taboo in all polite conversation, and
yet does so in a manner so entirely
irreproachable that the producers of
the play invariably invite even boys
and girls to attend the performances.
The play was given here last season
at the Newark and was favorably re-
ceived.
