The LION AND the MOUSE
HERE next TUESDAY

When Charles Klein wrote THE Lion
and the Mouse he dived into a great
problem. which he solved in a splendid
dramatic way, holding the breathless
interest of his audience throughout and
making the play a huge success. Since
its production by Henry B. Harris, Mr..
Klein has constantly searched for an
other subject equally convincing and
real, and the success of The Third
Degree proves only too we'll that his
quest was not in vain.
AS the title implies the play is founded
on the great police system of Sweating"
something we all hear of in a mysterious
indirect way. but about which few of us
ever know anything at first hand. The
drama deals with human emotions and
the attitude of the police towards su-
spected criminals. and while it treats
honestly of this theme it does not in any
reek with crime and criminals, as
a casual glance at the title would lead
one to believe. Withal it tells a power
full story, human, clean and real, and
is a fitting companion to its predecessor,
The Lion and the Mouse" Henry B.
Harris is sending his best cast of players
