One of the Best Theatrical Performances Ever Seen Here.

‘The Third Degree” presented at the Ellis Theatre Thursday night proved to be one of the best theatrical performances ever seen in Rensselaer and the small audience appreciated it very much and applauded at several stages of the performance. The play is admirably written, the plot splendidly worked out and the acting was of a high class, especially Attorney Brewster, and Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Sr., and Jr., jJplendUy acted. Had onr people realized that the performance was to be as good as it was the theatre would have been packed. We cheerfully recommend the players to Monticelio, where the play will be given Saturday night.
