Brooks in Paid in Full" In review
ling the performance of the play the
isprlngfeld, H., Daily News. of octo-
Der 16, had this to say: so good IS
Thomas Coffin Cook in his part of joe
Brooks, and SO thoroughly does he
lose himself in the character, that he
actually turns pale with fear that
seizes him, when his defalcation Is
found out. His work in this act, his
.conduct when discovered, his contem-
plated pleadings with his wife, to save
him. give him great opportunity to
show his versatility and power, and
he rises to the full height"
catharine Proctor, portraying the
Edinicult role Of Emma Brooks, has
achieved remarkable success in her
chosen calling in comparatively
short length of time. Her first Inn

up with two seasons in the famous
old stock house in Montreal, after
which she again appeared with Miss
