DRAMA EXPOSES
POLICE METHODS
Klein's Play, "The Third De-
gree" at Van Ness, Devoted
to Reform

Charles Klein has given to the Amer
lean stage much excellent material
lately. Starting with "The Music
Master" and finishing with "Fhe Lion
and the Mouse" 1t was thought that he
had exhausted his fund of narrative
and stage story, but when he exhibited
The Third Degree" New York con-
cluded that K1ein's powers as dram
atist had only been limited at in his
previous efforts, and the result was that
THE Third Degree" enjoyed an almost
unprecedented run in New York
The story of "The Third Degree" con-
Germs the operations of the police and
discloses what has been going on for
many years-a Spanish inquisition
touched up with tortures quite un-
known in ancient times-all to the end
that the victim of police surveillance
shall confess. 1t happens in the play
wrong, makes confession in order to
escape the horrers of "the third de-
gree The victim has been condemned
by press and public, and the circum-
stantial evidence with which he is COW
cred points to him as indeed the guilty
man. A domineering police captain
wrings a confession from the lad. In
terwoven with this story is a romance
of singular beauty and purity, it is said.
The cast. which Henry B. Harris, the
producer, is sending to San Francisco,
includes Fernando Eliscu, the well
known young actress, who is said to
have scored signal personal
triumph in homely character of
Annie Jeffries, the heroine; Paul
Everton, popular here on account
of his intelligent and forcible acting in
THE Lion and the Mouse" and a sup
porting company whose members are
Alfred Moore. Margaret Drew, Thomas
L. Coleman, Ralph Ramsey, Eugene a.
Eberle. Francis Bonn, Abner Symmons
and Harry Forseman.
Matinees will be given Wednesday
and Saturday of the first week.

When the player steps on the stage
he or she is. conscious Of the influence
OF that conglomerate intellect and we
know in an instant whether we are
going 10 please it or not. We can not
always control it. but sometimes we
can. Usually it's easier TO control the
audience in tragic or weepy play than
in a farcical offering, the reason being
tat there is more sorrow than JOY in

reflection OF their own unhappiness

The author of 'aThe Ringrnaster,"
which will be seen at the Valencia this
coming week, is a woman--Miss Olive
Porter-who was discovered by the
Shuberts. Miss Porter spent several
years as an employe of Wall street
firm of brokers, thereby gaining a.
knowledge of financial affairs that has
stood her in excellent stead. The play
was first tried by the Shubert stock
company at the Bijou theater, Brook

A ScOIding Husband Cured.

A woman, whom ner husband used
frequently to scold, went to cum
ming man to inquire how she might
cure him of his barbarity. The sa-
gacious soothsayer heard her com-
complaint; and after pronouncing
some hard words, and using various
gesticulations while he filed a phial
with colored liquid, desired her,
whenever her husband was in q
passion, to take a moutnful of the
liquid and keep it in her mouth for
five minutes The woman was quite
overjoyed at so simple a remedy,
strictly followed the counsel that
was given her, and by her silence
escaped the usual annoyance. The
contents of the bottle being at last
she returned to the cum
ming man and begged to have anoth-
er possessed of the same virtue.
Daughter, said the man, there
was nothing in the bottle but brown
sugar ann water. When your hus-
band is in a passion, hold your
tongue, and my life on it, he will not
scOld you in the future.

1t is a proverbial saying among all
women that husbands have no ad-
equate idea Of the work which q
housekeeper must do, and cOnse-
quent}y are cereless of the extra
work they make for her. Would
this be so in the next generation
if every mother would begin with her
little boys and teach TEEN to be or
derly with all their belongings, and
to wait on themselves? Not only
This, but teach them to help mother
in every possible way; to keep the
wood box filed with wood and the
water pail with water; to save moth
er's tired feet by gong upstairs and
down cellar for her? --et him put up
the clothes line, turn the wringer
and empty the tubs for her on wash
day as soon as he is Cd enough. He
will be proud enough to think that
he is growing strong enough to do
these things better than mother.
Be very sure that you show your
appreciation of every helpful act, and
let him see that you looh to him for
assistance.

Parents oftentime wonder who or
what ruined their bows. They have
been in school every day, but the
teacher either does not teach them
any lessons of morality or else hi
teaching is a failure. The truth IS,
the boys are on the streets from the
time school closes until late at night.
The street corner is the best place in
the world for teaching vice, profit
gacy and crime, nearly all the bad
language and idle, vicious habits OF
boys are taught on the streets at
late hours of the night. Teachers
may be able to accomplish little IN
counteracting these evil influences.
