That Paid in Full" is story Of
absorbing interest has been proved
by it's phenomenal success in book
and dramatic form. For two years
there has. been no diminution in the
drawing power of this vital piece Of
realism. In it's present form it is
not less engrossing. The features
which made it so powerful as a book
are not less potent in the play. It
is the same keen exposition of human
motives put into the simplest form
of expression. There is no waste of
material, no attempt 70 mOralize, no
break in the continuity. The three

quent thrills, the story is neither me-
lodramatic nor sensational. It's pow
err lies in it's humanness. Mr.. McRae
has given this play his ever careful
attention and the production will be
an elaborate one.
Miss Oswald will be seen at her
best in the role of the young wife who
gives up everything for the love Of
her husband, a part that is admirably
suited to her and one in which she is
sure to make many new friends.
