MARTON—TO - NIG HT. “PASSING OF THE THIRD FLOOR BAUK.” Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertsou as “The Stranger” in the “Passing of the Third Floor Back.” An announcement that should be warmly welcomed. His reputation world wide, honoured by his King, for his great achievements on the dramatic stage, this permanent record of his best and most favourite character comes fittingly®as the close of Jiis great career draws nigh. Jerome K. Jerome, took four years to write the play, and the result was worthy of the labour. It has a world message, that of tolerance and losing-kindness, and the world mesv>fie in the hands of the man who created the character on the speaking stage could not be more fitly delivered Paine and custom imve associated the “Passing of the Third Floor Back” with the name of Forbes-Kobertson, and no one seeing the wonderful piay. can fail to be moved by the ex;jtii«ifcelv touching and effective pormivul of the unique character of the “Passer by.” A notable casta supports him, and the, presentation is a • cm of masterly direction.
