AMUSEM ENTS.
Return Engagement Of "Paid in FulI''
Greeted by Large Audience.


Altho Wagenhals & Kemper gave to
the theatergoers of this city Eugene
Walters great success, Paid in Full"
jon Nov. II, interest was not detracted
In the return engagement of the same
company at the Odeon last might.
There are not many plays that will
stand a repetition in so short time
and not suffer. from box office stand
neint Paid lin Full appears to be an
exception to the rule. Almost a ca
pacity audience in November. and a
second one in February, indicate that
the great American play of the clever
reporter playwright is truly a draw
ing card.
If it were possible to have improved
the production from an artistic stand
point from the first presentation here
last nights Interpretation of the story
differed only in this one respect. Per-
haps practice can make perfect in the
dramatic as we'll as in other profess
sions. Catherine Proctor appeared
even stronger in her delineation of the
faithful young Wife who was willing to
do everything within her power to save
her erring husband, even to the .ax-
pense of risking her reputation by
humiliating compromise. Frank c.
Burton's Interpretation Of the gruff Old
sea captain was mastery, and Albert
Andruss gave the same pleasing char
acterization of "Jimsy." Miss Herndon
and Miss Bolton, as the mother and
sister of Mrs. Brooks, and Adrian IL.
Rosley, as ,Sato the Jap. were en-
inently satisfactory in the minor roles.
The central character in paid in
Full" is Joseph Brooks, the defaulting
young husband, whose mind has been
so poisoned by his sociailistic views that
he resorts to thefts from his employer
because he does not consider that his
employer gives him a fair wage for
what he helps produce. Thomas Coffin
Cooke gave a most finished interpre-
tation of Brooks. The character is an
extremely difficult one, and has not
a single amiable trait to win the least
particle of sympathy from the audi
ence. Mr. Cooks work is all that pos
sibly could be desired.
The principals of the company were
compelled to respond to repeated cur
tain calls at the end of each act.

the transportation magnates like
Hartman and Hill would receive
votes on such primal proposition.
It is pity that some Of these men
so marvellously useful to the world
should have made the mistake OF
grabbing other peoples property.
Possibly some newspapers will ex-
cuse them and gloss over or ignore
these crimes but the better way
would be for the universal press to
make evident the mistake of a moral
wrong.

Cagni and his party had nearly lost
their lives through starvation by be-
ing carried away on the drifting Ice.
Peary's own history in the past has
been a hard one In lighting almost
impassable Ice, apd one can only help
but feel that the last two years
have been exceptional ones. both in
the case of DIR. Cook and Command
er Peary and that the smooth Ice
which made their success possible did
not exist for previous explorers
SO much depends on conditions In
the Arctic. For example. Command
er Peary, of the English navy, reach
ed S2.d5 In 1927, after most awful
experience of hard work. He and his
men dragged the boats over ridges OF
ice, which were intersected by num-
erous channels on which the boats
had to be launched and be drawn up
again on the opposite shore and thus
had to be continually unloaded and
loaded As this Journey was made In
the summer time the snow was soft
ened and the sailors sank into IL up to
their waists. While they were strain
ing every nerve to make the north
ern record. the ice was floating with
them at the rate of four miles per
day to the south. The latitude he
reached of s2.45 remained for many
years the highest attained by man.
A few years later, the Duke OF
Orleans. comfortably seated on the
deck of his steamer. passed over the
same ground where Peary had his
heartbreaking expedition, steaming in
practically open water. Though the
duke did not reach the high latitude
that peary did, still Il will serve as an
illustration as TO how conditions
change In tho Arctic.
After considering these other ex-
plorers and the hard experience they
have had, and thinking of Peary's
own disappointment on previous oc-
casions, we cannot help but think
that the capture of the pole means
more because of these three hundred
years of previous effort. 10y
You must admire the men that
Peary had with him, and the natives,
with whose help his success was
made possible. These wild children OF
the north who followed their leader
without question to that mysterious
place on the ice, which did not seem
to be any different from any other
place on the ice after all their effort
and hard work to get there; even to
the natives. their easy success seemed
so strange. In Peary's description he
tells of how Ortah sat down on his
sledge and remarked In Eskimo:
"The devil is asleep or having trou-
bile with his wife. or We never should
have come back so easily"
When the party reached Cape CO.
lumbia. Peary tells of how the Eski-
mos yelled and called and danced
themselves helpless: in fact, they act
ed as II they had gone crazy. They
had right to. They had gone from
the pole TO land--from ninety de-
grees north to about eighty-three dc.
srees, In sixteen days. Never has there
been travelling like that before on the
polar ice. No matter how we look at
1t, the sledge expedition of Command
er Peary to the pole and back will
always stand as one OF tho quickest
trips ever made In the north.

Gov. Brown of Georgia, asserting
that there is but one law in that
state for rich and poor alike, refused
to grant the petition Of the State
Prison Commission for leniency to-
ward w. H. Mitchell, the wealthy
Thomasville white man, who had been
convicted of kidnapping a white girl
for immoral purposes while he was
disguised as a negro. Powerful in
fluences had been brought to bear
TO save Mitchell from serving the
sentence to the chain gang. and the
commission had asked that the con-
victed man be allowed to serve the
sentence in prison. The governor re-
buked the commission for asking such
a discrimination, and sent Mitchell
TO the public chain gang. He said
that clemency in that case would set
a pernicious example. embodying a
daily menace to the womanhood of
the state.
