Seasons Greatest Attraction at the
Opera House Thursday Evening,
However much one may have read
about Paid in Full there is a novel
~ and a reality about the piece which
no description can adequately convey
Given at the Grand last night by an
excellent company, this much-talked

which delighted Chicago during the
recent run there OF the play, the work
was very satisfactory throughout and
indeed one wonders where a scene or
a line could have been done more
naturally The strength of the play
it is vivid naturalness II is bit
of real life in which the characters
keep silent as well as talk, and it APP
pears that the clever playwright must
have written these unspoken pass
