The following Is clipping taken
IRON The Oregon Daily Journal OF
Portland, Oregon:
Paid in Full Is the attraction at
the Baker this week and the company
YpIesenting the masterpiece of Eugene
Walter is the equal of any that has
sever been seen here outside af the
first run playhouse.
A capacity house saw the play last
Gaight and gave vent to its approval
roy eneores and applause may times
Ireitsrated.
A small cast only is needed to PUT
aon she drama, and that may be the
gneason why the management has
lhem able to afford such excellent
players. The production has been
rseen in Portland before and It is
nant necessary to review the story or
's0 recount the practical lesson The
yEllay teaches. 1t deals with the high
asost OF living in an interesting way.
Leslie Bassett, as the Young hus-
Esand who steals from his employer in
order To support a wife who is not
curious as to how the money is ac-
CURED. won merited praise by his nat
Iiiral presentation OF the part, Edna
Harothers, as the wife; George Ban
croft, who gives wholly pleasing
portrayal of the part of "Jimsy," and
FRrank Burton, injects the twang of
TEne salt sea waves into the piece in
hnis bluff character delineation OF an
osad SEA captain.
The scenery is artistic and the cos
ftumes of the women are new enough
10 make the feminine part of the aud
hence envious.
