Change <'The Third Degree"

Charles Klein, author of THE Music
Master The Lion and the Mouse and
other successful plays has been having
his trouble with the police officials of
Boston on account of certain speeches IN
his latest play, 1.-The Third Degree. 1t
is declared that Mr.. Klein puts stigma
upon the police departments of every
American city by statements that tend to
show the imprisonment and conviction OF
innocent persons by means of hypnotic
suggestion and extreme brutality.
Mr. Klein left Boston, where The Third
Degree has been playing for five weeks to
capacity houses, for Washington, and will
be at the National Theater tonight to look
over the play.
1t is not known whether or not an at
tempt has been made by the Boston Of
ficials to engage the help of the local
authorities to stopping the Objectionable
parts of the play. Maj. Sylvester, to-
gether with a number of police officials
will be at the theater tonight, but it will
not be given out whether or not they are
there to enjoy the play or to take steps
against the statements that are considered
false.
