The champion of his race let it be

asked. Washington if he would prefer

Washington answered by engaging

THE THIRD DEGREE
SCORES BIG SUCCESS
EXCELLENT ATTRACTION rs
GREETED BY BUT SMALL
HOUSE WEDNESDAY.

Studded with truisms, potent with
human interest and enacted by a thor
oughly capable cast, "The Third De-
gree y which appeared here Wednesday
evening was by far the best attraction
ever presented to the theatre goers of
Devils Lake. A story of police meth
DDS in the larger cities, the play dealt
with conditions that are equally ap-
plicable in other communities. The at
tempts Of the yellow journals to sway
public sentiment, the undue influence
used to force confessions and the idle
curiosity of the American people in
others private affairs came in for just
criticism. Yet through the entire play
ran clever thread of human interest
made possible through woman's love.
AS Annie Jeffries, Miss Sarah Pad
den is deserving of unstintcd praise.
Her every gesture, pose and infection
of the voice revealed her as the girl to
whom the dner things of life, artific-
tally speaking, had been denied, but
whose splendid womanhood, generosity
and faithful love dominated her per-
sonality, making her, in the language
of Judge Brewster, ga rare woman. -
From the moment of her first agonized
entrance when her husband is being
taken to Jail, to the last act, when,
through her great, unselfish love, she
is willing to suffer silently the crue!
charges aaginst her purity and allow
him to go out Of her life, Miss Padden
had the closest attention OF her aud
fence. Tier scene with Judge Brewster
when she pleads for his assistance in
wag;ng the battle for her husband 8
life, is one of the strongest situati my
in the play. Joseph Garry, as Judg,
Brewster, shared the honcrs with Miss
Padden. Ills deliniat,on of tt. charac-
ter Of the noted jurist left nothing to
be desired. The shrewd, calculating
lawyer, weighing well the consequences
of casting off wealthy client to fight
for friendless man in an apparently
hopeless cause, was masterfully por-
trayed. Mr.. Garry brought out the
triumph of the judges sense of justice
and right over legal bubbles and tech
nicalities with a force that was rem
dered peculiarly effective because of it's
freedom from cant. While Ralph Ram
sey as Howard Jeffries, Jr., had short
part, he infused weakness and horror
into his scene with the police that made
his character stand out wildly from
the others. The work of aHry Fors-
man as Howard Jeffries, ST., and Miss
Florence Pendleton as his wife, is es.
peeially worthy Of note:
