We believe that everyone who
messed the play-"The Third De-
e - at the Lyric on Wednesday
Fning, was more than paid for
ir time spent and the price of
mission. The play was one of
best that has ever come TO this

Id be desired. When a good
npany like this one comes here
" should be welcomed by a
wded house. II is far better to
IF one good show than a dozen
ones

j.. gh, the outfit being owned by

to the crowd, who were making

Third Degree" they ran until
site the Grand Union Tea Store
fe they were brought to a
1still and turned over to their
ers who had started in pursuit
