To his dismay, she broke down into tears. "Why do you come here, then? she demanded, sobbing.

"I don't ask you to come. I went away and I should never never have troubled you again, If you hadn't followed me. Why can't you leave me alone?" "Oood heavens!" Michael was distressed. He paced the length of the room, coming to a standstill behind Patricia's chair. "Are you going to stop crying?" he demanded.

"Mrs. Flannagau will think I am Ill treating you." r'I don't care what she thinks!" "Well. I do. Patricia!" He waited a moment; then a little determined smile crept Into his eyes. "Very well.

The "damaged goods" of the human cargo have become through lack of knowledge. If I could I would post the truth on every street post and would shout It from every housetop. You looked after your daughter's welfare In this marriage with regard to the Income of this young man, but did you assure your Belf that he was possessed of a clean bill of health?" Shorn of rough edge and divested of all Its opaque coalings the naked truth with regard to a subject which Is vital to the health Of the human raoe was handled In plain language at the Empress Theatre last night when "Damaged Goods," a three act play or, to be more correct, tragedy was given Its Initial presentation.

The Eouss was crowded. In the opening paragraph the statement and deduction of the specialist tells the story. Without so much as a line which could offend the most exacting. "Damaged Goods" pointed out facts which astounded those who had neglected to become versed on a subject which In the present decade Is receiving much attention In the press and legislative halls. Briefly, the plot centres around one George Impont, a promising young lawyer, wno against tne most strenuous protest of a specialist, marries.

The result 1s that the sin of the purest Is visited upon the child. Gradually the truth Is known and this affords the setting In which to lay bear the ravages of the dread disease. To Air. T. Layne, In the role of the doctor, falls the lion's share of the task of revealing the true facts which scientific research has discovered.

Mr. Lsyne has seldom been seen to better advantage In any role before local footlights. Mr. Kay B. Collins, as George Dupont, handled ons of the most difficult roles with delicacy, and Vane Calvert, as Mrs.

Dupont, gave her admtr erers an opportunity to judge her ability as an emotional eatress. Her work was one of the strong features of the piece. Miss Marriott, as Henrietta Dupont, and Miss Klllntt as the nurne, as usual, played brilliantly. Vaughn Morgan showed Ms versatility when he played the role of Lochea. Mr.

Morgan's work whs of high ordr. Margaret Marlon also had one of the most exacting roles on the cast and Review of DIVORCE OF CONVENIENCE IS CONONIAL OFFERING "A Divorce of Convenience" with Owen Moore In the starring role was the principal photoplay offering at the Colonial Theatre on Monday. It Is a comedy production that teems with farcical situations and scintillates with humor and withal It has a tsory with both strength and character. I The plot la based upon the comical situation of a young man being compelled by circumstances to act In the capacity ot a co respondent of convenience In a divorce of convenience. There are manifold difficulties connected with Just such a Job, especially when one has his own girl before whom be wishes to preserve all his dignity, but before the concladtng scenes are reached the star manages to run afoul all ths pitfalls that lurk In his path.

Patricia Kolf, enjoying a holiday In a houseboat on the Thames, receives I a wire that her adopted father, the, wealthy and eccentric Peter Kolf, has died suddenly, presumably leaving her his hug fortune.

"Not that I care," she hastened to add.

"I never supposed you would, care." Michael answered, still Intent on his fire building. "But I have not been, though they gave me a most pressing invitation and a formal one came by post this morning for dinner tonight." He rose from his knees and, turning, faced her. "Shall I go?" he asked. Patricia, tried to laugh unconcerned ly. "Please yourself It la no business of mine." "That's what you say," Michael answered coolly.

"And all the time you know you don't want me to go you know you hate the Idea of me going at least I hope you do," he added. Patricia sprang to her feet. "How dare you! As If I care as If "Tea and a folne parcel," said Mrs. I laiuiBsaii mo uuvi, Michael turned away, there waa a little pleased smile In his eyes. Mrs.

'Flannagan's "folne parcel" turned out to be the violets. "B'loers they are, by the smelling of them," she Insisted, taking a good sniff at the wrappings before she laid them down In Patricia's lap. Patricia looked at the little hamper. "There Is no one at all likely to send me flowers," she said, but she cut the string rather eagerly, and gave a little cry of delight when she saw the mass of violets. She looked up at Michael.

"You sent them!" she said, breathlessly. "I plead he answered. He was pouring out the tea and wondering why he felt so happy and at home In this not very comfortable room. Patricia bent her ace to the flowers. "My favorites," she said.

"How kind of you!" "Not at all. no you take sugar?" He added a second knob to her cup ah sentmlndedly. "You know there are lots of little things I could do for you. If you'd only be sensible and let me." He brought the tea over to her. "It seems to me that you're uncommonly extravagant with valuable time." he added, smilingly.

He wanted to be rid of her he wanted her to marry Chesney and settle down, and yet not so long ago he had urged her against this very thing had told her that she would not be happy as Chesney's wife. "Thank you," she said, coldly. "But I am quite capable of sending for' Mr. Chesney If I should ever want him, which is not very likely after all that haa happened." That disposes of Chesney." Michael said cheerily. "And now I've got another brilliant Idea that we forget all that's happened, and you come back to live somewhere near Clayton, and let me make you an allowance." "Thank you, but of the two I would sooner marry Bernard Chesney." Michael went over to the window; the drizzling rain had begun again, and the narrow street, with Its rows of houses that were all alike, save for slight variation of curtains, looked depressing 'and dreary.

This was no place for Patricia, he told himself angrily; and yet what could he do for her? "And there Is nobody no real friend, I mean," he said rather abruptly, "with whom you would rather live than with Mrs. B'lannagan?" "There Is nobody that you would approve of; not that I care If you approve or not "You mean that there la somebody?" "There Is somebody I thought of this mornlns when you did not come. "When I came late, you mean," he corrected her. Very well, when vou came late.1 She raised her dark eyes to his face wun a queer little smile in them. "And who is this some Michael asked.

"She waa always kind to me, and I know she really liked me, no matter now strange it may seem to you tnat any one could like me. And she Is it lady anyway much more of a lady man your friend Jirtie snacKie." Michael turned away to hide the smile In his eyes. Miss Shackle Is not a friend of mine," she said calmly.

And, as to thla a up l.rfu ft "Her name is Mrs. Smith," Patricia broke In defiantly. I suppose you will say the name Is common. She is quite poor, certainly; so poor that I used to send her my old clothes. It you've got anything to say against her "Mv dear child! How could I POS slblv have? I am sure If she Is a friend of yours, that she Is everything that Is good and charming, but as to whether you would really be nappy living wun her! Well, that Is another question.

"I don't suppose she would have me, "She's only written to me once since anyway." said Patricia oispinteaiy. Mr. Rolf died. I suppose, like the rest of the world, she thinks I am no use now I haven't any money." "You can accuse me or snaring tnat Idea, anyway," said Michael quickly. Patricia flushed.

"Oh. you!" she said. "It's only pity hut hrlnia vou here. I know that pity, and a sort of duty. You felt responsible for me, I know Mr.

(By JAMES W. SEAN) NEW YORK, Nov. 15. "Enchant ment" Is the first picture In which Marlon Davles proves sha has more than mere beauty to claim recognition aa a movie actress.

There are two classes of movls stars, thoss who forge to the front rank of performers by the sheer merit of their performances and those upon whom thousands of dollars have been lavished to make their names familiar. Marlon Davles belongs to the latter class. Columns of space have been used to extol her praises. Despite that, her performances have never risen above mediocrity until now. It Is not meant by this that Miss Davles by this one performance takes rank with the best actresses of the screen.

She did almost as well as Constance Talmadge, Viola Dana or Shirley Mason might have dono with the same role. TAKE EXCEPTION TO TIRE MARSHAL ACT Deputation to Visit Victoria to Enter Protest The 'Tire Marshal Act" now before the legislature will be opposed on behalf of the city. Instructions were sent by the building committee yester day to Corporation Counsel McCrossan at Victoria, to ask that the bill be held over until Building Inspector Bird and City Comptroller rilklagton reach the capital and explain tne true inwardness of the measure to the government. The bill, says Inspector A. J.

Bird, trenches serlouBly on the powers of the city. It would give the fire marshal, who would be a provincial officer, power to order the removal or destruction of any building which he considered a fire menace. It deals also with the conditions under which a fire escape must be provided; and In other ways would take away authority which the city possesses under the charter. "That man, A. J.

Thomas, the fire prevention officer, Is a radical along these lines," remarked Aid. Crone. "Because he can't get all he wants from the city council he goes to the government and tries to get It this way." DIVIDEND DECLARED BY C. P. R.

Aa a matter of fact. Miss McAvoy very nearly reaches the dizziest heights In "A Private Scandal," though It is but the sixth or seventh picture In which she has ever appeared. There is a fine restraint and poignant simplicity about her acting in her big scenes which many an older and more famous actress might well emulate. Mr.
