1.-The Climbers" is an adaptation of
the famous play of the same name by
Clyde Fitch. Miss Corinne Griffith is
the star. Its story deals with the eX-
perience of characters who dwell on
both sides of the high social from
tier. The family whose fortune has
departed from it is seen struggling
for a foothold within the borders of
the social kingdom. They personify
the Climbers
Miss Griffith has a role of tremen-
dous power and dramatic high lights.

fifteen years ago. Miss Amelia Bing-

ROBERT DOWNING

When an actor can travel for thirty
six weeks in one play and never dur
ing the entire tour receive an adverse
criticism, either for himself or any
member of his company, it. speaks
well for the organization. And that is
what Robert Downing. the eminent
actor-evangelist, under the manage
ment of Arthur C. Aston, accomplish
ed last year in the superb scenic pro-
Guction Ten Nights in a Bar Room.
Should there be any to doubt this, and
will send such a criticism to Mr.. Ais
ton, he will send them a handsome
check. While this play has evidently
played to more people during the last
sixty years, and a play that our faith
ers and grandfathers witnessed when
young men, in the hands of Mr.. Down
ing and capable company, it is like
a new play.
Mr.. Downing will appear at the Or
pheum next Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday opening on Tuesday with

Paris, March 19.-The chamber of
deputies has authorized the removal
of special Notifications about Paris
which were erected shortly after the
war began.
There are three rings of permanent for
tifications about the city of Paris, first a
solid wall of masonry % miles IN circum-
ference around the old sections of the
city; second a system Of II detached forts
arranged at intervals of two miles beyond
the wall and making circuit of the city
"a miles in extent and third. an outer Cir
die of forts % miles in length on the
heights commandin the valley of the Seine.
In August, 1914, special notifications were
erected, buildings demolished and trees
which ebstructed clear view of the ter
rain about the city were cut down. 1t is
probably that it is this system of fortffi-
cations which is to be dismantled.
