NEW THEATRE IN PARIS
NJ Astrucs Theatre DIES Champs House
in Every Way-Pans for Productions-Moving
Old Institutions.

Under Secretary Of state for Fine Arts.
The exact scheme is to move the opera
Comique into an old theatre building at
the end of the Rue Monsigny, now used
los the Bank Of France for offices, and to
remove the Odeon organization 10 the
present OPERA Comique and to establish
i'm the old Odeon building a sort OF theatre
for the common people where all sorts OF
extremely popular pieces may be put on.
The manager of the Odeon is extremely
anxious 10 get over TO the right bank Of
the Seine. doubtless expressly to prevent
his company from getting any more
popular" than IL is already, the old
Odeon holding now pretty much the posi-
ton of the theatre for the common peo-
pie" The simple move of the Odeon 10
the old Sale Nentadour. or Italian The
atre. now used by the Bank Of France.
leaving the opera Comique where it is,
has not been entertained because the
Od6on needs a smaller house and the
opera Comique a bigger one. II is feared
that the Coincide FRANCHISE may oppose
the removal of the Odeon 10 a place 50
close and in its historic territory. NJ.
jules Claretie has nothing to say how
ever. about the Comedies attitude except
that the instigators of the scheme had
said nothing at all about II to him.
