PARIS. Dec. 27.@There is only one "moraf' play running in Paris in the judgment of the sa- nous Abbe Bethleem. whose vio- lent censorship of plays. books and magazines caused his arrest recently.
 In his magazine he runs a theatrical department where all shows are graded from zero to four. The one play that gets a A" is the old, reliable Around the World in Eighty Days which has played several months each year in Paris for score of years applauded always by new genera tions of children.
 None of the zero class are list ed just now for only the prin- cipal theatres are covered. The zero performances are those re- garded as absolutely unfit. Class es l, ? and 3 indicate various degrees of licentiousness. In cate gory there are included twelve "passable plays which respectable thearegoers patronize." Tn is grudging approval is given to a number of operas, Rostand's "Chantecler,' "Rose Marie" and similar productions.
