"PAID IN FULL, . Harper's Weekly, in speaking of Eu gene Walter's play. "Paid in Full," aays. The third act of the American play, Paid in Full,' which is presented at the Astor theater, is one for which the author, Mr. Eugene Walter, de serves much commendation. The lpay, from beginning to end, is extremely well done, both by playwright and company, and "with Interest" might well be added to the title, as an ex pression of what the audience de rives from it. ; "The play deals with humble per sons, humble, mat is, in comparison with the 'high society folk one is ac customed to see strutting through the measures of social drama. The reason for calling attention to Mr, Walter's third act is, that he has made it just what It should be, quick, alert, full of Interest, and a striking climax, of the lay. After seeing it there was a rea sonable suspicion that a fourth act might spoil the drama, at least, might destroy the force of the third. However, Mr. Walter's fourth ace does not mar his lay in anyway; if anything, it adds in accentuating the strength of the one which receded it." " "Paid in Full" will be the attraction at the Towle Opera House Sunday matinee and night, Dec. 17- The Wagenhala & Kemper company promise a fine production and a notable cast of players.
