Kleins great play to be offered al
the Heron Theatre January 3rd re-
mains the triumphant public benefac-
tor that it was recognized TO be Oh
it, premier over year ago. The play
not only entertains its hearers, but
it instructs the larger portion OF its
patrons in harmful police practice
of great interest to the common
wealth. The Interested attitude Of
the majority of the audience toward
The Third Degree scene tends TO in
dicate how few really are familiar
with the method of police inquiry
laid bare by the author of the play.
Miss Grace Lord has made a great
individual hit in the part of Annie
Jeffries while Raymond Wells. Frank
Patton. Chas T. elVechio. Ida Root
Gordon, Edmond Strague and VIM.
Weston have won deserved recogni-
tion in their respective parts.

eager to restore 1t where 1t had been
lost, and who had taken successful
ly taken these means to recover for
the people what they had unques-
tiOnably lost control of their own
affairs.
In short. they were not trying !"

robes of royalty. sat upon WON

still our supreme court writes with
its quill pens and drapes its tailored
suit with silken robes. But the court
in our country no longer trails real
ermine. The court is not an earl nor
a chancellor. nor prince OF the
church administering divine process
es as the agent of omnipotence and
omniscience.
The courts today do not have a
crier with a bundle OF fasces going
ON ahead warning the common peo-
pie that the administrator OF the law
is among them, symbolizing with the
ak and the rods the authority OF the
Judge, and followed by a crew OF
bailiffs and trailed by an executioner.
These were formerly part OF the
dignity Of the Office the things
which made the common people re-
spect the law.

day dignity of the Office" must be
something different.
