GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Lack of knowledge of some of the most important facts of life has been and is responsible for an appalling number of wrecked minds and shattered bodies. Shrouded in a cloak of false modesty and prudery, dangerous infectious diseases, sometimes called social diseases, have been permitted to prey upon humanity, when frank enlightenment as to the facts would have proven an invincible weapon against them. "Damaged Lives," the picture now at the Grand Opera House, emphasises the necessity for wholesome education about this sinister menace of both ancient and modern civilisation. Sponsored by the various social hygiene associations of the world, which for years have waged an unceasing battle against the mistaken policy of secrecy where vital facts are concerned, "Damaged Lives" is at once an intensely dramatic talking picture and a forceful influence that cannot be ignored by those who see it. A supplementary film depicts with startling realism the scientific phases of these diseases.
