Great Play "

That Paid In Fall" is a story
of absorbing interest has been
proved by IFS phenomenal suc-
cess in dramatic form. For two
seasons there has been no dim
mutton un the drawing power
of this vital piece of realism.
In its presentJorm IL is not less
engrossing. The features which
made ii so powerful as a play
are not less potent in the serial.
II is the same keen exposition
q human motives put into the
simplest forms of expression.
There is no waste of material,
no attempt TO r,orafise. no break
in The continuity. The three men
who are fhe central figures IN
tine story stand out in admirable
disfncfness from the very first.
and the one woman whose splen-
did recfitude Eliminates ii all
lives from she moment of her
appearance. Although it is GER
tain to produce frequent thrills.
the story is neither neiodra-
matte nor sensational Its power
lies in its humanness.

HIGHWAY PROJECTS.
Jackson and Thorn pson AUe-
nues To BE Joined Soon.

The Queens Bureau of Engineers is
awaiting the award OF contracts for i'm
portant improvements on highways leading
TO the greensboro Bridge and the opening
of bids for the making of new streets which
will bring the principal thOroughfares up
to the new viaduct across the Sunnyside
yards of the Long Island Railroad.
One of the necessary improvements is
the joining of jackson and Thompson ave
nues by means of new street extending
to this viaduct. The project was delayed
for some time by the refusal of abutting
property owners to petition for the street
opening. BY instructions of Corporation
Counsel Pendleton proceedings were recent
ly begun before the local board. and bids
for the new thOroughfare. to he known as
Diagonal street. will be opened tomorrow.
II is the purpose of the Queens officials
to rush work on the important contracts in
order 10 have them well under way before
the beginning of the new administration.
Bids will also be opened tomorrow for the
elevation of Jackson avenue from Bowery
Bay to Trains Meadow Roads, a distance
of about a mile and a third to official
grade.
From Skillman to Beebe avenues the
work of grading has been completed. I'm
der the direction of Engineer Crowell this
part of the thorOughfare has been raised
from five TO ten feet Simultaneous with
the grading the tracks of ne New York &
Queens County trolley line were elevated
without interruption to traffic
The Jackson avenue improvement has
been considered for several years. and an
incentive to the perfection of that plan is
the rapid upbuilding of Flushing. White
stone, Malba and the exclusive home
sections along the north shore 10 which
this avenue is the direct automobile high
