At The Grand
“Damaged Goods.”
Probably the most remarkable the
atrical performance ever given in Am-,
erica and before the most remarkable
audience was the presentation of
“Damaged Goods’’ by Richard Ben
nett and his co-workers in the Nation
al theatre at Washington, D. C., on
Sunday afternoon, April 6,191 The
players came on from New York by
special train to give this single per
formance, the cost of which was $1,200,
vet not a ticket was sold. The play
was given under the auspices of the
Washington Society for Social Hy
giene, of which Dr. C. F. Stokes, sur
geon general of the . United States
navy, is president. More than four
thousand applications for tickets werg
received, but the seating capacity of
the National is limited to 1,700 and
these were distributed .among cabi
net officers, justices of the supreme
court. United States senators ami
representatives and their wives, prom
inent social workers, clergymen, high
officials of the army and navy, the
commissioners of the District of Co
lombia, and distinguished representa
tives of foreign nations Serving as am
bassadors and ministers plenipotenti
ary at the national capital.
Although the play was given on
Sunday afternoon (necessitated by the
actors’ other engagements in New
York city) the leading clergymen of
the capital gave their approval of the
performance in the theatre and nearly
fifty were In attendance. The preface
to the play was read from the stage
by Donald C. McLeod, pastor of th,\
First Presbyterian church of Wash
ington (the first church attended by
President Wilson after his inaugura
tion). And before lhe curtain rose on
the first act the Rev. Marie Wilfley,
pastor of the Vermont Avenue Chris,
tian church, delivered ar impassioned
prayer asking a divine blessing on
the message which the play was tv
present.
Dr. McLeod suggested that in view
of the sacredness of the day and the
impressive character of the play thaj.
the audience refrain from any ap
plause. This suggestion was rigidly
enforced, adding immensely to the
power of the drama. Throughout the
entire afternoon, although the thea
tre was filled almost to suffocation,
there was not a sound, and even dur
ing the entr’actes, although there was
no music, the audienec spoke in
w-hispers to each other, and no person
left their seats to stroll about in the
lobby of the playhouse.
It was an audience and a perform
ance that will probably never have
its counterpart in any other city in
the world.
At the conclusion of the perform
ance one member of congress, a news
paper on ner from a Pacific" coast
state, walked immediately to a tele
graph office in the same block with
the theatre and wired to his business
manager: “I have Just seen a per
formance of a remarkable play, “Dairt
aged Goods,” and am so impressed
with the lesson that it teaches that
I want to help the cause in every way
possible. Therefore I wish you to
cancel at once all contracts for adver
tising of quack doctors and so-called
’curt a’ for seo r et diseases."

Scene from Damaged Goods at the Grand Next Tuesday
Solid Shot Trom “Damaged Goods”
By Eugene Brieux
At the Grand Tuesday evening.
A respectable man will take his wife
and daughters to a music hall where
they hear things to make a doctor
blush. His modesty is only alarmed
by serious words.
You think by ignoring curiosities
you stifle them? Why, every boy anif
girl who has been to boarding school
or through college knows that you do
not.
The Deputy—We ought to hound out
these vile women who poison the very
life of society.
The Doctor—You forget that they
themselves have first been poisoned.
There is nothing immoral in the act
that reproduces life by m£ans of loyg..
But for the benefit of our children
we organize round about it ;■ igantie
conspiracy of silence.
The Doctor—You want me to do
more for you than for all the rest?
Dupont—Yes!
The Doctor —Let me tell you, sir.
that every one of our patients, whetli
cr he. is the richest man in the land
■or the poorest, has everything <frme
for him that we can do. We have no
I "secrets in reserve for the rich, or for
who are in a hurry to be cured.

Young men ought to be made to
Understand that the future of the race
is in their hands and to be taught to
transmit the groat heritage they have
received from their ancestors intact
with all its possibilities to their de
scendants.
The Doctor—There is nothing dis
honorable about being ill.
Dupont—Ah, yes. But people are
such idiots. Even yesterday I my
self would' have laughed at anyone 1
knew who was in the position 1 arrt
in now. Why, I would have avoided
him as if he had the plague.
The Doctor —This disease differs
from many others; it has no prefer
ence for the unfortunate.
The mystery and humbug in
physical farts are enveloped ought to
be swept away and young men ho
given some pride in the creative pow
er with which each one of us is en
dowed.
Dupont—Science can do anything.
The Doctor —Science is not the Al
mighty God. The day of miracles is
past.

To keep fresh food in qood condition is a ques

is the housewife, sometimes the bachelor man or
bachelor qirl; then the outinq trip in automobile or
yacht.
It is easy enough to do when there are unlimit
ed means and plenty of space available. But in
these days of intensification of effort and concentra
tion of space, other provision must be made. Hence,
the IMesco Perfect Refrigerator.
