Let $X_1 ,X_2 , \cdots $ be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables, ${\bf E}X_1 = m$, ${\bf D}X_1 = \sigma ^2 > 0$, and ${\bf E}|X_1 |^k < \infty $ for some integer $k \geqq 3$. The following theorem is proved:Suppose that the variable $Z_n = ({1 / {\sigma \sqrt n }})(\sum\nolimits_{j = 1}^n {X_j - nm} )$ has an absolutely continuous distribution with bounded density function $p_n (x)$ for some integer $n = n_0 $. Then there exists a function $\varepsilon (n)$ such that lim $\varepsilon (n) = 0$ and relation (1) is fulfilled.A similar theorem is proved for the case when $X_1 $ has a lattice distribution. Some consequences of these theorems concerning convergence to the normal law in the mean are discussed.
