It I is one of those plays that not only delights you while it is being pre- I sented, but furnishes something for afterthought. The story of Third Degree is: Howard Jeffries, has mar- I ried against the wishes of his proud father and been disinherited. He is penniless. He calls to see a friend, to borrow money; the friend is not only in trouble but in debt and cannot let him have a cent.

Young drinks copiously from a decanter, filled with liquor, close at hand and when stupefied with drink lapses into troubled slumber on a couch in his apartment. The friend, discouraged and tired of life, decides to commit suicide and carries out his plan whilp Jeffries is asleep. The police break into the room, discover Jeffrieg in a drunken stupor and decide that he is the murderer.

Harris' production of Charles drama, Third is a lover of simple home life. Near New York she owns a beautiful home, with all modern convenlemes and improvements, has her garden, her pony phaeton and a lot of chickens. Every cent of money represented in her home was made by Miss Eliscu. She is thrifty and as a business woman is decidedly shrewd. Shp occasionally dabbles in stocks and bonds.

From actor to barrister is likely to be the change in the life of Paul Everton, the lawyer. Richard Brewster. Mr. Everton has become infatuated with the legal character he is now portraying and he is taking up the study of law.

By unanimous vote the Board of Commissioners of tho Lafourche Basin Levee District sterday placed itself on record as opposed to the project of divorcing the Rod and Atchafaiava rivers from rho Mississippi. At the meeting of the Board a communication from Col.

W. H. Blxby of the River Commission was read, and in reply to the communication the board passed a resolution opposing the plan The reason for coming out flat-footed against the! project as given by one of the members is. tfiat the district has nothing to gain by the closing of Old river and separating the streams, but if it should be done it will probablj have to build its levees higher to meet tm- increased flood that will more than likely come down the river if the separation is effected. It was also decided by the hoard to again petition the River Commission to provide for the protection of the banks in front of Gretna by sinking willow mats.

When the' River Commission was here two years ago several property holders of Gretna petitioned for this protection to prevent the banks from caving, a committee was appointed to appear before the commission when it arrives in to petition for the protection.
