Miss Frederick’s popularity is of that quality which insures exceptional business for exhibitors whenever a picture production starring her is announced. There are many reasons why this should be so. Pauline Frederick, Star. INDEPENDENT of her genius as an actress, Pauline Frederick is a woman of beauty and magnetism — two highly essential qualifications for any player who hopes to achieve success on stage or screen. The versatility of Miss Frederick is exceptional and it enables her to portray heavy and light roles with equal effectiveness. It was Sante Beuve who said that an actress required only two things to make her successful— histrionic talent and beauty. Miss Frederick has these and more, for she couples with them a delightful personality, consciousness of purpose and the strictest regard for the intelligence of critics and admirers alike. Her characterizations in arduous Sardou roles, as well as in lighter picture subjects have not been surpassed in scope or cleverness by any other screen player. In “Paid in Full,” she has another role of unusual dramatic power and that it will not suffer at her hands is obvious to all who have learned to appreciate her artistry in the past. Eugene Walter, Author UGENE WALTER, author of “Paid in Full,” which was produced with enormous success in New York in 1907, is one of the foremost playwrights in the United States. Mr. Walter has written several successful plays, but among these “Paid in Full” ranks as his most vivid creation. Every material point of this captivating play has been incorporated in the screen adaptation. A Dramatic Story. Emma brooks, wife of joe Brooks, a morose and spiritless clerk in the employ of Captain Williams, a ship chandler, lives with her husband in comparative poverty in a cheap flat.

At a family gathering that night Joe explains why Emma has no maid or a seal skin coat, which is in substance that Captain Williams has been grinding him down for four years. Williams, who is present, . resents this and though angered, he promises Emma not to discharge her husband. Jimsy Smith, a Westerner, who secretly loves Emma, invites the Brooks’ to a theatre party, but Joe curtly refuses and a quarrel between the two results. Joe retains the money belonging to Williams and as the latter goes to South America to be gone three months, he manipulates his books to hide the deficiency. He installs Emma in a luxurious apartment and tells her that his wages have been raised. Williams discovers Joe’s defalcation and he employs the knowledge to gain ascendancy over Emma. When all is discovered, Joe confesses his guilt to his wife and he pleads with her to square matters with Williams in any way agreeable to herself in his behalf. Jimsy tries to settle the account, but Williams declines the offer. Emma calls on Williams in his room and when Jimsy hears of this, he threatens to kill Williams if he takes advantage of Emma’s predicament. Williams exonerates Joe and lets Emma depart without molestation. Emma tells Joe that all is over between them and when she leaves, he kills himself. Emma and Jimsy find happiness in their mutual love. Emile Chautard, Director Emile chautard, one of the most brilliant of motion picture directors, is responsible for “Paid in Full.” Mr. Chautard is a skilled artist in his field and his latest production is a most gratifying artistic achievement.
