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." "Damaged Goods" comes to 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. PANAMA-PACIFIC HANDBOOK IS READY ft m A Remarkable Publication of the Panama-Pacific Inter national Exposition.
