 HONORS IN THIRD DEGREE"
Miss Gertrude Ritchie Scores a: Anne Jeffries Leading Female
 Role

Of all the better known playwrights probably nobody knows less about play construction or more about grabbing popular theme than Klein, the author of The Third De gree" We will go further and say that. from d critical standpoint, he has never written a good play except The Music Master'-and that was re written and produced by David Belasc0. However, that is neither here no there for this is sup posed to to be criticism of The Third Degree" We ap- prOach this criticism with reluctance for a greater authority on police af
 fairs and the system" has handled this case and as our police eXperi- on the outside looking in, we will leave all the horrible details to that very eminent specialist in criminology Chief of Police Moore We night say a great deal in regard to the present ation on Thursday, night. but far be it from us to add to the trouble of any band of heroes that has already tackled such Metropoli as Gallup, Williams, Jerome and Pres colt and have still to face Mesa and Tempe-We almost added MaricOpa. Suffice to say that The Third De
 gree was written as a starring ve- hicle for Edmund Breeze and was originally produced at The Hollis street theater in Boston and, very much to the surprise of MT Breeze Miss Helen Ware ran away with all the hOnors of the production. The same thing happened last night when Miss Gertrude Ritchie as Annie Jeffries scored by her simple and successful reading of the part. In fact Miss Ritchie's work was good enough to merit honest criticism. She knows her BoWery, not wisely, but well. She makes Annie Jeffries too tough. The only common thing about Annie Jeffries was her parent
 age. She herself was a sweet lovable and naturally refined character. Any one as tough as Miss Ritchie made her heroine in the first act would never have attracted Howard Jeffries Jr. Miss Ritchie played the part with

IN TIME .OF 1913
 PREPARE FOR 1914
Even Now Motor Builders Are Pre. pairing Plans for Next Years Output, and Everybody is Guessing on the lm-
 proVenents

What will be the next development in automobiles and motorcycles?
 That is pretty hard to answer right now, for the new lines are just out and have brought with them TO radical changes from 1912 models. The addition of small features and the almost universal adoption of self starters has marked a swift pace for ward. but have entailed no startling changes in automobile construction. Among the Wheelers there is more room for development.
 Each year the riders of motorcycles plan up a lot of things they expect to see in the new models. One year it was the magneto, the next came twins then followed free engine, two speeds, and this last year among some makes arrived the long looked for two speed high power de luxe boat with starting crank, fOotboard' and many little fiXies that make mo- tor biking more comfortable. more sure or safe.
 Here are a few of the things tha

have been dimly perceived in the fu- ture Electric lights. starter, frame fixed for presto tank, more springs and bigger tires. One company is said to be planning a boat that will incorporate all these desirable things and some new wrinkles not hitherto contemplated even in the minds of the motor mad.
 Improvements in automobiles next season will lie mostly along the lines of utilitarian rather than luxurious improvement For one thing there will be more power, better cooling apparatus on water cooled cars, stream line bodies, pointed radiators with deeper cells, simplified control better spring equipment and improV- ed motor suspension. Of course some of the 1914 Improvements are sha-

doWed in the 1913 models, but for the most part the betterments will be hidden in the intimate construction of the car.
 It has long been predicted that some day man would have his trans portation conveniences so arranged that he can hop into a car and go any place. And the development of the motor ear seems to foreshadOW that happy day. Each year motors get better. stronger, more capable and more safe-and each year they become more widely used One of the best improvements in motors lately is the lowering in price of nearly all the substantial makes.
