t'Paid In Fulr' Coming to the Academy.
paid in Full" Eugene Walters play Of
contemporaneous American life, will play a
return engagement ut the Academy of Music,
Baltimore, next week with a special matinee
Christmas Day. The play is one of few that
is really worth seeing second time. With
audacity Mr.. Walter leads the plot up to the
very brink of disaster, but while he clings
closely to the danger line be never once over
steps 1t, and when he reaches very thin ice be
turns so beautifully one wonders at his SEEM
ing audacity. Then it is seen that the sus-
pense the author had managed to sustain
throughout the two acts and the cleverness
with which he had been able to mislead his
audience, was with a carefully calculated pur-
pose. The remarkable scene between Mrs.
Brooks and the hardened old sea dog. Gap
tain Williams" places paid in Full'' in the
front rank of American drama. This one
really great play sought Mr.. Walter in COM
parative obscurity and with the aid of Colon
Kemper's art Of staging made both men
famous in one night. The company selected
to present the play in this city is one ofspecial
merit.
