THE THIRD DEGREE
Vigorous and Interesting Drama On
Thursday Evening, Dec. 10

Thursday Evening, Dec. 10
Rob the drama of its conventions"
says Mr. Charles Klein, author OF
THE Third Degree" which comes TO
the Bennington opera house Thurs
day evening, December l6, and you
leave it absolutely without founda-
ton. In fact it is like robbing the
Bible of its platitudes, or obvious
truths" That the playwright is right
is best shown by the gigantic sue
cess of his two latest dramas, The
Lion and the Mouse and The Third
Degree" the former which broke the
record for long runs and wonderful
profits and the latter by its instanta-
neous success and marvellous bust
ness both in New York and on the
road has relegated the record of the
former Klein triumph far to the
rear.
In The Third Degree Mr.. Klein
has written vigorous and interest
ing dramatic document upon prac-
tice which, no matter what its gen
eral effect, is looked upon with sus-
pcion-that of the third degree pro
cess of the police in eXtorting con
fessions and while hypnosis and
visual captivation" play important
parts in the general makeup of the
play, a typical "Kleinesque' romance
is the general hinge upon which the
piece swings.
The plot of The Third Degree" is
built around a youth the son OF
man who is great social and finan-
cial power. The father, promi-
nent man in the smart set disowns
his son on discovering he has mar
ried girl whose father had gained
much unpleasant notoriety in the po-
lice annals of New York The girl,
realizing her position. has made gal
liant struggle to win the respect of
the world through her fine character
and natural ability
The yong husband, disowned by
his father scorned and rebuffed on
every hand by his friends, who as
sert that he has made mistake and
that his marriage is misalliance,
! resorts to drink and dissipation. The
death, under suspicious circumstan-
ces, of Robert Underwood occurs;
the young man is found on the prem
ises whittier he has gone to borrow
| FUNDS ana Is accused OF the crime
and arrested,
After a seven hour grilling by a re.
lentless police captain, the youth con
fesses to the crime and appeals to his
father, who, believing the confession
to be true, remains obdurate and re-
fuses to aid him. The young wife,
staunch in the belief of her husbands
innocence, through her steadfastness
of purpose and ingenuity, conducts
the fight for his life against such
powerful odds that even the most
courageous would have quailed at
and wins what the public at large
considered a lost cause.
Mr.. Harris has provided the piece
with an excellent cast including Mar
ion Kerby, Lawrence Eddinger,
Irene Asher, A. W. Ellis, George Sum
ner and others equally as notable.

The Massachusetts state board of
health has announced the results of
an inspection which it recently caus-
ed to be made of SO diaries in Yer
mont which furnish milk for con-
sumption within the state of Massa-

or less than half were found to come
up to the standard set by the board
for Massachusetts dairies.-News
item.
1t would be a great day for Yer
mont could only Massachusetts and
New York absolutely forbid the bring
ing of milk from Vermont. Shipping
milk off a farm is like taking money
out of the savings bank to spend fool
ishly 1t is drawing on the principal
all the time. In shipping away milk
the farmer gets a cash income but
little profit. If he kept the milk at
home made butter and fed the skim
milk to calves or pigs he would make
a profit on his butter, another on his
calves and pigs and third through
increasing the fertility of his farm,
through keeping and feeding the ex-
ira stock. On hundred pounds of
skinned milk contains manurial val
ne of ten cents that is gone forever
if milk is shipped off the farm. I'm
