At the Columbia Theatre Tues day evening, December 14'h the Wagenhals & Kemper Company will offer liugene Walter's celebra ted play of present day American life "Paid in Full," a drama whose tremendous success and extraordi nary popularity have made a sen sational chapter in theatrical histo ry. The record of "Paid in Full," beginning with the night it awoke New York to highest enthusiasm, places it far and away in the lead of any play this country has seen. After that notable opening in New York when a critical first night au dience was aroused to cheers. "Paid in Full" remained two years on Broadway. Summer did not check its run. It is the only play with out music that has ever had a con tinuous summer run in New York. So exceptional was its popularity that last jear the Wagenhals Kemper Co. had five companies presenting it in all parts of the country. F.ach of these companies appeared at different times in Great er New York ' where every return engag.iuent of the play proved afresh that "Paid in Full" was the biggest drawing attraction iu the metropolis. Kach time it came back it repeated its enormous hit Agaiu this season the same five companies are continued. Never before has any play been acted by so many. This fact alone stamps "Paid in Full" as the greatest play of the age. It is a masterpiece. It rings true and drives home. There is vigor iu every word and move ment, there is virile, pulsing life. The characters are men and women we recognize, with whom we come in daily contact, their lives are such as we understand. Therein lies the play's amazing hold. It depicts with striking realism and vividness persons and conditions close to us, of which we have direct under standing. The engagement in this city is the most notable thus far announced for the season, and it will attract even the most infre quent patrons of the theatre.
