The Third Degree"

Contrary to all criticisms on 9Th,

Annie Jefiries, the young wife, In this
peculiar Klein drama, does not battle
alone for her husbands life. Far be il
from single-handed combat on the part
OF Charles Klein's sweet little character,

kerby, who plays the young wife, has
from fifteen to eighteen hundred staunch
supporters, who sob, strain, struggle and
smile with her.
That the above is a true impression of
the feeling that exists during the action
OF this the latest product OF Charles
Klein, author Of "The Lion and the
Mousse" is best told by relating the fol-
lowing incident which occurred during a
performance at Manchester, N. H., where
The Third Degree" was being presented
several weeks ago:--
Several elderly women, one seemingly
more deeply interested than her cutnpan-
ions, occupied box to the right OF the
stage. While Jefiries, who Is charged
with having caused the murder of his
friend, Underwood, but whom the audi
ence knows suicided, was being quizzed
by the police, the woman became agitat-
ed, moved her chair closer to the rail OF
the box and with hand telescoped to her
ear, drank in every word uttered.
The audience, although in thrall OF
intenseness itself, noticed the agitation of
the party in the box and when the piece
reached that part where Captain Clinton
says to Jefiries, "You did ii, Jeffries.
come own up, tell the truth, you shot
Robert Underwood" and as II to emnha-
size his remarks takes a shining revolver

weary victim, who answers, Eyes. | shot
him." the strain on the audience could
almost be felt and the elderly lady. no
doubt forgetting for the moment her
whereabouts, jumped to her feet. Rrasped
one OF her companions by'th arm and
said, so loud that II was audible ali over

INSURING
THE FUTURE

Do you have interest to pay I?
Do you have payments to meet on
mortgage ?
Do you have life insurance premiums
coming due
Why not provide for these payments
in advance by depositing a small amount
in the bank each week ? Then when
the day Of payment comes you will have
the money in the bank to meet your OBJ
legations. This is a practical suggestion.
Many others have taken advantage Of
this plan with satisfaction to themselves.
We commend il to you.
Four per cent interest paid on savings
accounts.
Deposits made not later than Dec. 6
will draw interest from Dec. /.
