THE STAGE
WASHINGTON.

Taking il all around The Climb
ers' is perhaps the best product or
the playwriting pen OF the late Clyde
Fitch, and SO. the revival OF the play
Monday evening. in the Washington
theater, by the William Morris Play
ers, and with Amelia Bingham in her
original role or the wife in the
drama, had more than one element
OF interest and attracted very~large
audience.
When, several years ago. Miss Bling
ham got together a stock company OF
such high-class individual ability as
10 deserve its name OF "all-star, and
undertook to manage the enterprise
herself she secured Clyde Fitch's at
tention to the extent that he agreed
TO write a play for her and the re-
suit was The Climbers. Play and
players made a great hit in New
York and met with corresponding high
favor all over the country. when. fol-
lowing the Broadway success, Miss
Bingham took her company on a
cross-country tour, Detroit being one
Of the cities visited.
The men and women supporting
Miss Bingham, Monday evening, IN
the Washington. were so excellent in
the parts assigned them. that they in
no wise destroyed pleasant memories
OF the first great cast of The Climb

with a nicely of finish. and com.
pleteness in the whole that was more
than might have been expected from
a stock company putting Oh a differ

wife Of Dick Sterling. whose general
Crthlessness excites little sympathy
from the onlooker acted the role
with her well-known confidence in
be ing able 10 successfully encompass
any character OF emotional possibili-
ties that she may undertake.
Charles Waldron. in the late Frank
Workings original par; OF Dick
Sterling. gave an excellent account OF
himself in this decidedly unpleasant
Tart The only thing about Sterling
that the audience has any use for is
the manner OF his taking on in
tho last act. when he swallows poi
son. and the spectators know that his
waited, wor HESS life H. ended. and.
that his wife will in the future be-
yond the last curtain have some
measure OF peace and happiness.
Almost every part in " rhe Climb
ers" is the sort that Is known in the
atrical parlance as fat and the
various members OF the company
were given every opportunity TO prove
their worth
The play vas well-staged. the four
scenes showing the drawing room at
the social climbing" Hunters; the
dining room at the SterliDg's: the
courtyard OF The Hermitage. New
York's famot roadhouse, and the IL
brary in the Sterlings home.
