ACTING IS CONSCIENTIOUS Play Shows Horror of Secret Vice and Company's Presentation Is Sore to Cause Audience to Do Serious Thinking. CAST OF "DAMAGED GOODS." The Doctor Edmund Elton George Dupont. . -William H. Powell Mme. Dupont Florence Roberts Henriette Dorothy Shoemaker The Nurse Elizabeth Ross The Deputy F. Keenan Wallace X Girl, Minnie Townsend A Woman Erma Melville A Man 1 Clarke Sllvernall A Student Walter Siegfried BY LEONE CASS BAER. "Whether subjects such as the one "Damaged Goods" undertakes to dis cuss ought to have a place in the thea ter depends primarily on what is meant by the theater. "Damaged Goods" ia certainly not amusement or even enter tainment. If, then, the theater is a place of amusement alone, "Damaged Goods" does not belong in it. If, on the contrary, the theater ia the place of intellectual discussion, of mental slumming in the operating-room of a master vivisectionist, of listening to the most daring and bold turning inside out of a subject we dare hardly whis per of, then "Damaged Goods" has every claim to recognition. It is not a play for the indiscrimi nate. Nor is it for the prude, nor the frivolous. Theme of Vital Importance. The theme of "Damaged Goods" is of vital importance to a nation. It is a realistic depicting in a bitter and re pulsive manner of the horrors of secret vice. People who laugh and pass over the ribald songs and innumerable in nuendoes and double meaning jokes of a glittering girl show will see great harm in "Damaged Goods" and. figure that the presentation will bring no good. The play does not seek to compro mise with vice. It is a cutting to the core of the evil. It is uncompromis ing in its denouncements. It is amaz ingly moral in its arguments. Nothing is glossed over. Nothing is excused. And it is all terribly, frigntfully hu man. Its presentation as the Baker Play ers gave it yesterday undoubtedly sowed the seed for a great deal of serious thinking by the men and women who made up the large gather ing. And whatever good results from t is undoubtedly greater than what- sover has been irrelevant. First Act Dialogue. It has long been one of the axioms of the world of plays that none of them caa succeed unless it moves along rapidly in its action. By no stretch of imagination can this play be re garded as a drama of quickly-moving action. Take as an instance the first act. It is carried on entirely by two players, and if the subject were a less absorbing one, it would be a most try ing situation. And while there were a few scattered irrelevant laughs, the audience listened to the dialogue with great deal of attention, evincing every indication of interest in the sub ject. The second act is in itself a poignant drama of the highest quality. It sounds a terribly tragic note, and is so elementally human that the audi ence was held close in its cruelly strong grip. With a marvelous insight, Eugene Brieux lays bare the excruciating pain inflicted on the child of a diseased father, a baby girl. There is positively no getting away from the heart appeal of this situation, and whatever may be our individual opinions regarding the propriety of staging "Damaged Goods,' we cannot deny the tremendous dra matic value of its second act. As a play, "Damaged Goods" ends with its second act, the final one being a series of scenes, each with a new teaching of the lesson. The pity is that the commercialism of the American theater has not made it possible to pre sent it ti what probably would be the Dest way, ior masculine auaiences sepa rate from feminine audiences. Cast's Work Conscientious. There can be no question about the careful, conscientious and individually dignified work of every one in the cast. Edmund Elton is most dignified and forceful, emanating a professional note in his role of the doctor. William Sr. Powell plays splendidly a trying and lengthy role of the young lawyer, the indiscretions of whose youth bring misery on his wife and baby. Dorothy Shoemaker is womanly and big in her dramatic moments as the wife. Flor ence Roberts brings our tears in her depiction of the baby's grandmother, Elizabeth Ross is excellent as the nurse and Minnie Townshend brought genu ine applause for her artistry as a girl of the streets. Erma Melville and Clark Silvernail as patients of the doc tor, and Keenan Wallace, as a deputy of the police: who seeks to learn of the vice only when it is his own home that is threatened, all act well. The scenes are three, each intensely real and ab sorbingly interesting. The engage ment is for 11 nights, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday and a special one for women Thursday. GRADE CROSSING TOPIC SEPARATIOX PROJECT TO BE DIS CUSSED PUBLICLY TOMORROW. Cost Estimated at C7B0.000 and Some Opposition Expected but Assess ments Will Be Small. Arguments for and against the pro posed elimination of eight grade cross ings of the O.-w. n. & is. Deiween ine head of Sullivan's Gulch and the city- limits will be heard by the City Coun cil at a special meeting tomorrow at 3 o'clock. This will be the first public hearing on the project, which involves an expenditure of $750,000 and is one of the largest grade crossing projects ever undertaken in the Northwest. Under the plans as prepared by the Public Works Department. 14,000 lots are to be assessed for part of the cost of the work. It is expected that there ! will be opposition from some of the property owners, especilly those whose benefits are not especially appareni. It is said by those in touch with the situation that the majority of - prop erty owners are in favor of the project and will offer no 'opposition to tne nominal assessment proposed. The railroad cpmpany will stand SO per cent of the cost the city will be put to. as well as all the cost of lower ing the railroad tracks.

There is rivalry hpfween the residents of the two streets regarding location of a viaduct. It is proposed to have the crossing on only one of the two streets, while the property owners on each street are anxious to have the viaduct open on their street. Pending settlement of the grade crossing question, additional safety de vices must be installed by the railroad at the crossings, according to an order, effective in 20 days, issued by the State Railroad Commission Saturday.

ORPHEUM CUTS TO 4 DAYS Management Says Theater Will Not Be Closed in Snmmer. Beginning next Sunday and continu ing probably all Spring and Summer, Orpheum theater patrons will have to cram their joy into four days of the week, for, according' to the announce ment made yesterday by Manager Conlln, the show will only be given oir Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The players then will go south. "Some of the biggest attractions of vaudeville are scheduled to appear here," said Manager Conlin, "and if the house, which" seats 2200, is filled for every performance, I think our patrons can be accommodated and we shall not lose money. The new routing was made necessary by conditions here and else where, and we hope theatergoers will soon adapt themselves to the change. -"Wo deemed it better to keep open for four days a week all Spring and Summer than to close in the warm weather and deprive our friends of the privilege of enjoying Orpheum pro grammes. The ehows were greatly missed last Summer by the many who remained in town during the season. Next week we shall be busy, for we have three headliners, James C. Morton and Frank P. Moore, Alan Brooks in 'Straightened Out' and George Damerel, of 'Merry Widow' fame, in 'Ordered Home." The week following has al ready given promise of being successful with Sylvester Schaeffer as the stellar attraction." EX-NEW YORKERS TO DINE Get-Together Banquet of State So ciety to Be Tuesday.
