It appears to be an opportune time to give attention to Brieux' great work, "Damaged Goods," which created fcueu a profound impression upon American theater-goers last year. The drama was brousrht to this coun try and stuped by Richard Bennett, who directs the motion picture produc tion and appears in the leading: role. The play teems with dramatic action, rising from facts which are met in every-day life by the average person. It is full of vital facts, powerful les tsons and drives home realities of life that could not be so convincingly por trayed in literature or upon the stage. It is a tale of human weaknesses nd temptations with a powerfully dramatic close. Starting; with the average college man, whom we meet every day, fol lowing him through his courtship, snarriage and the birth of his first child, this photodrama delivers a moral which probably will never bo forgotten ly one who sees it. While this picture has not been viewed yet by the local censor board, it is to be earnestly hoped that if the picture docs come to Portland it will iic seen by not only thoeo who are working to eradicate the social crime. but those who might help to prevent It the thoughtless young man and young woman. "DOLLAR MARK" AT COLUMBIA George Broadhurst's Drama Shows Methods In Financial World. George Broadhurst's great drama, "The rollar Mark," the companion play of "The Man of the Hour," produced by William A- Srady, comes to the. Colum bia Theater today for a three-day stand. As "The Man of the Hour" succeeds in covering the crookedness of municipal politics, so does "The Dollar Mark" sue ceeded in covering the methods of the Lnnanclal world. It is a strong cast in which are featured Robert Warwick, who starred in the original stage pro duction, and Barbara Tennant. The action opens In Cobalt and closes in New York City and Newport. It is markedly a picture of vigorous action which rings true throughout. The best part of the story is the adventure of the two lovers in a flood. A terrible storm has driven the girl, who is the daughter of the president of a big trust, to seek shelter in Jim Gresham's cabin. The dam breaks and the flood sweeps the valley, carrying with it the cabin. The hut's heavy door serves Jim and Alice as a raft. The current carries them swiftly toward the rapids. Every inch of this film will hold as tight as a blacksmith's vise. The trust is seeking to get possession of Jim's mine, which is rich in minerals. Underhand methods to obtain the prop erty are resorted to. Alice's father puts his underlings at work, and also uses his daughter, without her knowledge. in an. effort to break the young man. The latter is kidnaped, a run Is started on his bank which he has established in New York, and a strike of the miners in his mine Is incited. It is here that Jim, by his strength of character, his nerve and his courage, defeats the neaa of the trust at every turn,,and in the end comes out triumphant. The mis understandings between Jim and Alice are quickly cleared away and the pro- duction has a happy ending. . Acting, photography and stagecraft all are com mendable.
