Dramatic Hit
Opens Tonight

A new angle to the frequent un-
cerworld film, is given in Paid,
which opens tonight at Fox I'M
perial Theatre, with Joan Crawford
in the leading role. Incidentally
the production marks a wide de-
parture from the roles usually as
signed to the popular star.
Supporting her in Paid" are
Robert Armstrong, Marie Provost,
Robert Emmett O'Connor, Hale
Hamilton and other notables of the
screen.
Miss Crawford is seen in the
part of girl who was sent to
prison though innocent of the
crime of which she was convicted
and who spends her time in Jail
plotting to get square with the
law and those responsible for her
imprisonment.
Her chief wrath is directed
against the wealthy store owner on
whose complaint she was arrested,
and she takes her revenge Upon
her release by marrying his son.
Her connections with criminal
gang lead to complications and in
the end she finds herself fighting
to clear herself and her husband,
whom she really loves, from the
stigma of murder.
AS dramatic sensation, paid"
is declared by critics to be one of
the best since within The Law"

Thus far there were no signs OF
