Q—“THE THIRD DEGREE.” The presentation by the United Play company (Inc.) of Charles Klein’s latest play, "The Third Degree,” at the Bosse opera house on Wednesday, February sth, with a cast of sterling players of acknowledged reputation should attract unusual attention. Mr. Klein has in this play written an even more virile and vital contribution to dramatic literature than he did in "The Lion and the Mouse." The scenes are laid in New York and deal with a certain condition of social life in which society leaders, both male and female, are central figures. In working out the story, the author attacks the method used to pick out those entitled to sosial prefermen, the distinction accorded only by heritage and birth. This play marks a step forward in the evolution of the drama, the tendency of which is to deal with conditions that exist and which by reason of the public apathy, are allowed to continue. Play-goers will find much to Interest them in “The Third Degree,” and undoubtedly it will mark an epoch in the theatrical history of the city. TO ATTEND AUTO SHOW.
