MASON-"The Third Degree" by
Charles Klein, author of 1.-THE Lion and
the Mouse" has aroused much interest
in New York, Chicago, Boston and 9th
eI eastern cities. The theme appeals to
humanity for the protection of men
suspected of crime. Its elaboration tells
the story of girl working with all her
might to save her young husband from
an ignominious death for a crime he
did not commit. In a practical way,
the plays production has already ac-
complished great good. One of the first
steps taken by the New York police af-
ter its presentation was to reduce the
torture of criminals and suspects
through fear of arousing Just indigna-
ton In Cleveland; Ohio, the chief of
police has abolished the third degree
method altogether, and his lead was
followed by other chiefs. One fact
which Mr.. Klein wishes to impress upon
playgoers is that his play is built upon
actual facts The playwright was on
the dock in Marseilles. France, ready to
sail for Egypt, when he bought q New
York paper with an account of a GER
tain recent criminal case, and straight
way became interested in 1t, following
it up and eventually writing the drama
in Cairo, Egypt, which he was visiting
with his wife. The motive power of the
play is the love of a plucky and keen
witted wife for her husband. The cast
which Henry b. Harris is sending in
cludes Fernando Eliscu, the well known
young actress who was here last with
Mrs Fiske, and who last year was
leading woman with Arnold DaTy;- Paul
Everton of 1.-THE Lion and the Mousse

II. H. Symmons, A. H. Forseman, Fran
els Bonn. T. L. Coleman and Ralph
Ramsey, who is son of Ralph Stuart.
