RICHARD BENNETT IN
 BRIEUX'S "DAMAGED GOODS T

Brieux, the great French dramatist, evolved an epochal theme when he wrote Damaged Goods.''
 Damaged Goods" is not a toothsome bit for the simpering maids who haunt the theatres of an afternoon to flrt with the handsome leading man, as it is a picture that makes whoever sees it think and think hard Tt is not a pleasant picture-but it drives a wholesome lesson home to everyone of understandable age. It is picture that should be seen by all the young men and young women of Birmingham.
 Richard Bennett is the star of the seven reels which the American company has filmed of BreuX's immortal masterpiece on the results of personal impurity. Mr. Bennett has been seen at the Jefferson theatre quite recently in the stage yer sion of the play. and is now to be seen in more elaborate offering, as the pie ture is said to be even more thrilling in it's awfulness of description than the stage play.

FREDERICK PERRY IN
 THE FAMILY STAIN'

On Wednesday and Thursday the Fox feature, '"The Family Stain will be shown at the Trianon.
 No more strange and thrilling story
 was ever written than "The Family Stain" adapted from "The Widow Le- rouge" and produced by William Fox. It is a mystery story of far more than usual interest In this story, Emile Gaboriau gives greater play to his fan tastic mind than any story that he ever wrote.
 The Widow Lerouge, a strange woman who lived several years in small com munity, one morning is found murder ed in her home. The local police find the situation too big for them to cope with, whereupon an amateur detective, an old man of wealth named Talbert, is sent for and he begins to unravel the mistery. Such tangle of complications as ensue are rarely, if ever. found in any detective story. The trail leads from the humble widows cottage to the home of a powerful man, who stands high in the government. It appears that many years before this, the high official, Commarin, was in love with a beautiful girl. He Is forced, however. by his naughty family to marry a girl in his own station of life A child is born to the woman he wanted to marry and his own wife at almost the same time.
 So much in love was Commarin with the woman that he was unable to mar ry, that he desires to bring her child up in all the luxury that his great fortune could command. In order to do this he had 1t arranged that the two children be sent to a certain place with their respective nurses, and that in the night they be exchanged so that the illegitimate child would be returned directly to his home and be known as his legitimate heir
 The Widow Lerouge. then a young woman, was taken into the secret and 1t was up to her to make the proper deception. Thirty years later. the young man who was supposed to be the real son of Valerie. who was the mother of the illegitimate child, discovers through correspondence the true situ- ation. Between grief and humility, he goes to the home of his father and there tells the other son that he is not the real son of Commarin. but the son of his fathers mistress. The Widow Lerouge is known to have inn portant papers and data bearing on the entire transaction, and because of these has been supported by Commarin in luxury for many years.
 Directly following the expose of the supposedly legitimate son to young AL bert Commarin, the Widow Lerouge is found murdered. Her home is found ransacked and nothing of value taken except these papers. Then commences search for the criminal. Before the story ends, six important persons are suspected of the murder and the situa- tions that arise are fascinating and thrilling to the highest degree. The question as to the identity of the two young men is ttle-coclSed in such a way as to make it impossible to know who's who until the finish of the story

THE DUST OF EGYPT"
 WITH EDITH STOREY

Winsome and chic is Edith storey.
 Wonderful is her interpretation of Amenset in Alan Campbers great sue cess, "rhe Dust of Egypt the phe- nomenal hit of the dramatic season in London.
 Alan Campbell, although young, stands in the foremost rank of Eng fish authors and the scenarioized yer sion of his great play leaves nothing to the imagination.
 Great care has been exercised in casting this production from Antonio Moreno as Lascelle to Edith Storey as Amenset. including such popular play CTS as Hughie Mack, Jay Dwiggins. Ed ward Elkas, William Shea, Charles Brown, Naomi Childers and Ethel Cor coran.
 ''The Dust of Egypt is an elaborate spectacle wonderfully staged, cleverly directed and marvellously acted. It combines the ancient, mediaeval and the present day and is filled to over flowing with surprises.

FERRETS ARE CAUSING
POLICE MUCH TROUBLE
Are Ordered TO Allow Walter Berger
TO Take Animals
Away.

Three ferrets caused the police de-
partment more trouble Friday morn
ing than would have ensued had a
whole flock of burglars been turned
loose on the city. The ferrets were
evidence in the case of Clyde Humber
ger, sic y. Allen St, who was accused
OF their theft, with two others, from
the barn of Walter Berger, 2209
Kemble av. They had been held by
the police for several hours when
Humberger was first arrested, and in
that short time had ferreted them
selves of the good graces of the entire
police station crew.
It was a relief when the prosecutor
ordered the police to allow Berger 10
take away his ferTets, with the adj
monition to bring them back Friday
morning to be used as evidence. This
was done and all went smoothly. until
attorneys for Humberger contested
the ownership of the animals and de-
manded that they be left in the GUS
tody of the police department until
the case comes to trial.
Bailiff Cutting objected; Sergt.
ZgodZinski was not in favor; PATROL
man ThOlander. who arrested Hum
berger and brought the ferrets to the
city hall in the first place, declared
that he had had enough Of them; De-
tective Chief Kuespert obeyed the for
mer order of the prosecutor as did
Police Sergt Barnhart; and in the
end it remained for Police Chief Kerr
to turn the animals over TO Berger to
keep until Tuesday, when the case will
come to trial.
A motion was made in city court
Friday morning TO quash the affidavit
against Humberger on the ground that
ferrets were wild animals and one TAX
ing them could not be accused of lar
ceny The case was continued until
Tuesday in order to give the state time
to present authority in the matter.
