The greatest play OF the time and
the most popular will be the attrac-
ton at the Fargo operahouse on Tues
day evening when the wagenhals &
Kemper Co. offers Eugene Walters
Paid In Full with cast that brings
out in highest degree the superbly
| dramatic qualities, the human sym
pathy, the comedy that make this the
most appealing work the stage has
seen. Paid in Full is a masterpiece.
It drives across the footlights and
grips with a power that is not once
relaxed. 1t contains every factor that
lifts play to highest place In public
favor. Consider it's wonderful record
and 1t becomes plain that everybody
likes 1t. Two years in New York It
ran, going without halt through sum-
mer, exceeding in drawing power the
musical shows that until then had been
the only form OF hot weather theatre
calls Broadway would patronize. At the
same time in Chicago IL scored an all
summer run. Then throughout last
season five companies appeared In 1t,
more than ever before had played any
piece at the same time and again this
year an equal number are touring the
country. With all this is the fact that
more persons have seen Paid in Full
than any other play in like length OF
time, which sustains Action Davies,
the eminent dramatic critic OF the
New York Sun, who wrote: Paid In
Full is the biggest dramatic hit OF the
age" 1t is a vital, living story of
the hour, depicting with compelling
power conditions and persons that
nelp make up the human sum Of every
American city. It is play to be seen
more than once and it will have a
hearty reception in this city. 1t will
be acted by a brilliant New York cast
so that every atom of its tremendously
entertaining quality will be brought
out to the full. To see this great play
acted by great cast is treat not to
be missed by anybody.

The scenes In Geo. M Cohan's new
music drama, Forty-five Minutes From
broadway, which Cohan and Harris
will present at the Fargo operahouse
next Friday evening, are all laid in
New Rochelle, a popular suburban
residential town Just forty 1--WE minutes
from Broadway on the New York Cen
trail railway. This piece is q novelty.
1t possesses a musical comedy q
dramatic and an unusually strong
heart interest, and will prove a great
surprise to everyone who witnesses the
first performance. 1t is an entirely
different type OF production than is
anticipated, and will present an array
of novelty in scenes, characters and
institutions, that will undoubtedly at
| tract a great deal of attention in
theatrical circles all over the country.
Elizabeth Drew will play the part of
servant girl, a role entirely different
from anything she has previously un-
dertaken, yet the author and manage
ment of the production have no hest
fancy in saying that her work will
prove revelation.
/ When Commencement Days with
Frederick v. Bowers is offered at the
Fargo operahouse for an early date.
Il will have the advantage Of a strong
cast. Jonn Cort is evidently a man
ager who believes in the maxim that
things worth dong are worth doing
well, and his confidence in Commence
ment DAVIS he has backed with liber-
atty in every feature of the venture.
Among the players OF the company
are Jane CorcoIan, Grace Hopkins,
Amy Da .. Leila Smith, willard Louis,
| II. A. More., Edmund Mortimer, e. F.
| O'Connor, Albert Roberts, Catherine
