Charles Klein's play, "The Third De-

pire the first three days of next week.
The company includes S. A. Arnold,
Frederick Monley, F. S. Gordon, Fritz
Adams, Thomas Brewer, Dorothy La
Verne and Peggy Watts. A full scenic
equipment is promised by Manager
Dolly. 1t is needless to speak to local
theatregoers of THE Third Degree, -
which has been here upon several oc-
casions. It is an expose of the meth
DDS employed by modern police of the
big centers in gaining a confession
from person. who, though innocent,
appears as guilty to them. They are
misguided, but determined; wrong,
but in their own eyes right. To the
end that they capture what they think
is the murderer of a we'll known New
Yorker who has suicided, they force a
young man to the confession that he
committed the crime. There you have
the entire story. Worn out with a
night of incessant hammering by
means of the third degree, the young
man finally gives in. How he is saved
by his heroic young wife who inter
ests a great attorney in the case is
refreshing and intensely absorbing
story.

most artists, Mr.. Patton started at
the bottom rung and has played
wide range of parts. He is gifted with
personality that few comedians
possess and mis- delightful portrayal
of Dr.. Hale in Lazy Bill" is the
/ 'crowning event of his starring career.
To his charm of person and quaint
ness of manner and a voice which no
one has ever heard could forget, it is
impossible to fittingly describe the
peculiar effect that lies in his acting
There is a magnetism about him, re-
freshing in its cleanliness and sim
plicity. The part of DIR. Hale in
Lazy BilI' is quaint and peculiar
type which becomes alive with wit
and humOr, with an occasional touch
Of pathos, and no one need be asham-
ed of the tears that will force them
selves at times during the action of
the pay. Great care has been taken
in selecting the members for the
cast. Some of the old members of
! Mr.. Patton's company who have been
with him for many seasons will also
/ be seen again to advantage. Need
less to say the entire production of

excellence which has given W. B.
Patton an enviable following over the
territory he has annually played dur
/ ing the past ten years.

The machine turned a sharp curve
as it swung into the home stretch

skidded about 20 feet, swerved and
plunged directly at a fiimsy fence to
the side of the course. Endicott was

"The Girl From Mumm's," described
as a French musical comedy, is to-
days attraction at the Illinois. There
are to be matinee and night perform
aHces. Miss Olive Vail, young wom-
an-who has visited Rock Island in
previous seasons ct the head of musi-
cal companies, and has numerous ad-
mireTs here, is the featured player.
She is best remembered here as the
leading woman in Miss Nobody From
Starland." Miss Vail, it is announced,
is aided by a strong cast and chorus,
and that the production will be pre-
sented on an elaborate scale.
Occasionally some play strikes a
note that rings out clear and true in
the midst Of the commonplace and
impresses its auditor with the thought
that it was written not for gain, not
for pastime, but because some man
had something TO say to other men
and he took this means of expression.
The Shepherd of the Hills" Harold
Bel Wright's dTamatization of his
novel Of the same name, is this kind
of a play. Mr.. Wright had felt with
in his soul the peace and beauty OF
the hills and he wished to set down
their meaning before men. He made
play that in plot is compelling, one
that never fails in sincerity. Tho
people who move in it are so human
that the auditor will pick them out for
like and dislike as if he really knew
them. The scene of the play is in
the hills of the Ozark mountains. The
mists of the valleys, the glories of the
sunsets, the magnificent vistas from

by the wonderful ingenuity of the
scenic artist and electricians craft.
