DAMAGED GOODS PLAY

It does not allow of flippancy, but

teach. 1t has only to be heard to
convince even the fiippant playgoer

In short, Damaged Goods is a
play of tremendous power that should
be heard by fathers and mothers and
by all young men and young women
of marriageable age. or course.

Kilmer, one Of the two Democratic

that If he has any reason for resign

ports given out at the French, Rus

] the details of the fighting with its
enormous tolls of killed and wounded
! The public hears. ,nothir< For the.
moment the dominating issue re-
mains In the eastern arena of the
war where the result of the great
= clash In Poland will go far towards
determining the duration OF the war
as we'll as its character during the
next few months.
The present activity of the Ger
man artillery is believed to be pre-
clude to another formidable and
concentrated onslaught somewhere
on the allies line In the western
arena. The line, however, is be.
lieved by both British and French
experts to have been made impreg-
nable since the last German effcSt
was SO nearly successful in hars
ing its way through. There are signs
of approaching activity in Alsace,
where the French recently have been
improving their positions. AT the
same time the Germans are said to-
have been heavily reinforced in this
section.
The fighting in Russian Poland in
the opinion of British observers ap-
pears to have had no effect on the
Russian operations against Cracow to
stop which has been the main object
of the Germans. In the possession of
heights within three or four miles Of
the outer forts of the former capital
OF Poland the Russians appear to-
have the Cracow fortress at their
mercy. The very fact that they have
been able to get to such close quar-
ters seems to indicate that the guns
of Cracow are not so formidable as
has commonly been reported. If this
city falls. 1t is anticipated that it
will have an immediate effect on the
campaign in Poland, it being argu-
ed here that the Germans would
then be forced to double back to-
stem the invasion of Silesia. which
would be the immediate sequel to-
the Russian capture OF Cracow.

So Says the Editor of the
JohnstoWn Democrat Who
Saw the Performance.

The Damaged Goods Company
played Johnstown, Pa, last Saturday
and below is what the editor of the
Johnstown Democrat thought of it.
Word for word it is produced here
and 1t will no doubt prove interesting
reading to those who may have been
influenced by Mr.. Goodwin's state
ment:
There Is this much to be said for
Damaged Goods which was the at
traction at the Cambria Saturday,
matinee and night. 1t is play in
which every scene smashes you
straight between the eyes. 1t Is only
about once in generation play
comes across the footlights and even
in single scene has such telling
force that it leaves an audience dazed
by reason OF the blow inflicted. Dam
aged Goods" does that very thing
time and again.
And. mind you. the effect is the
-.ne whether or not one agrees with
the thought of the producers that the
subject matter is proper matter for
presentation in dramatic form.
The company that presented Dam
aged Goods in this city was strong
one. Several mem bers of the cast
were bit weak as far as the reading
of their lines were concerned, but
every member of the cast caught the
spirit of the play. Robert Vaughn
played the part of the doctor with a
wealth of reserve strength. The
George Dupont of John Birmingham
was admirable throughout, while Ella
Cameron was literally terrific in her
stronger lines. Annia Ashley and
Desiree Stemphel portrayed the roles
assigned with u cameo-like fidelity
for the details of characterization.
The plot of Damaged Goods" is
simple enough when related without
the powerful setting the author gives
it. Ayoung man afflicted with an In
fectious disease marries and is the
father of a child that falls a victim to
the ravages of the parents ailment
That's the plot. Into that plot is
woven all OF the pathos, all of the suf-
fering, all of the disillusionment, all
of the iamentable Ignorance. all OF
the prudery with which the theme
abounds. One by one the characters
brought face to face with conditions
say: II did not know" And the
stern-faced doctor replies: ut was
your business to know" This accusa-
ton he hurls at legislators, at young
men and women and at parents.
No ordinary art could possibly pre-
sent this subject SO that 1t would be
free from all suggestion. The art of
Brieux is not ordinary. Never once
during the play is there vulgar line.
There are frankly brutal lines. But
on the other hand. there are no ipde-
cent lines. Damaged Goods,
seems some way 10 have been sane
Itiied by sorrow; to have been made
