 The fame of the play Paid in F'u1P' to be produced next week. is well
 known and the great success it has
 achieved is familiar to all who follow
 things dramatic.
 This play has without any question exceeded any other play of the present
 generation in popularity. and has revo- lutionized the modern drama. Eugene Walter it's author. is a pioneer in a
 style of playmaking which; incompar- p3l ably combining worth and entertain ment, has won such reSounding ap-
 plause that other dramatists are striv- ing to follow his pace. Mr. Walter
 was the first playwright with suffi- cient daring and foresight to cut adrift from conventionality and tradition and drive right at the heart of things. He had a story to tell. a most interesting
 story of actual persons in the real
 world of today. It was narrative of
 love and ambition, of loyalty and envy, such as is running its course every
 hour about us With striking direct
 ness he went at his subject and
 brought forth his men and women and had them live their lives before us. The story told is of a young married
 mans efforts to keep his wife in so-
 ciety above her on salary of SIS a week. His own salary being but a
 drop in the bucket. he is forced to steal large sums from his employe and in the end stands face to face with | defeat. To save himself from prison he seeks to barter his wife to his en- ployer.
