ADVANCE PRESS STORlES-^ContiiiuMl “PAID IN FULL” WAS BIG STAGE SUCCESS Pauline Frederick to Appear in Its Picturization WHEN Eugene Walter’s play “Paid in Full’ was produced by Wagenhals & Kemper in New York in 1907, it created a great sensation. Its reception by the public was phenomenal and after running a season or more, it was played simultaneously by several companies en tour. This play has been picturized by Paramount for Pauline Frederick and it will be displayed at the theatre next Miss Frederick has the role of the patient wife of a shiftless clerk whose non-progressiveness keeps her in constant poverty. When he commits a theft the husband does not hesitate to send his wife to the man he has despoiled, caring little whether she sacrifices her honor to save him from jail. But she finally adjusts the matter and when she quits him forever, he betrays his cowardice by committing suicide. But the wife ultimately finds happiness in the love of a worthy man. The support is excellent and the cast includes Robert Cain, Wyndham Standing, Frank Losee, Jane Farrell and Vera Beresford. The picture was directed by Emile Chautard. Powerful Photoplay ONE of the strongest photoplays seen here in many weeks is “Paid in Full,” starring Pauline Frederick, the brilliant Paramount star, which is on view at the theatre this week. The story of Emma Brooks whose happiness is marred by a shiftless and improvident husband, is finely appealing and if affords this popular player one of the most powerful roles of her career. REMARKABLE CAST IN “PAID IN FULL” Players Supporting Pauline Frederick Well Known ONE of the most remarkable casts assembled by any director in support of a star, is that which appears in Pauline Frederick’s new Paramount Photoplay. “Paid in Full,” which is announced by Manager for presentation at the theatre next This is a superb picturization of Eugene Walter’s famous play which has held the stage ever since its production in New York in 1907. Robert Cain, a popular leading man portrays the role of a cowardly, shiftless man, the husband of Emma Brooks, the part played by Miss Frederick. Mr. Cain has done splendid work in the past, but it is said that his impersonation in this picture is an unusually brilliant performance. Frank Losee, one of the most experienced character actors in motion pictures, plays the part of a scoundrelly capitalist who seeks to take * advantage of Mrs. Brooks when she appeals to him to be lenient with her husband who has stolen a large sum of money from him. Wyndham Standing, a popular actor, is seen as a breezy Westerner who ultimately brings happiness to Mrs. Brooks. Jane Farrell and Vera Beresford have excellent roles and both are noted for their artistry and charm. Well Known Director Emile chautard, who directed Pauline Frederick in her splendid new Paramount photoplay, “Paid in Full” which is the screen magnet that is drawing big business to the theatre this week, is one of the ablest directors in the films. He has done excellent work in this picture as the evenness of the performance and splendor of production indicate. STRONG PORTRAYAL BY TULLY MARSHALL Actor Was in Original Cast of “Paid In Full” IN the original cast selected for the New York production in 1907 of Eugene Walter’s famous play, “Paid in Full,” which has been adapted for the screen with Pauline Frederick as the star and which will be shown at the theatre next Tully Marshall, a popular Artcraft player, created the role of the weakling husband of Emma Brooks, played by Pauline Frederick in the scfeen version, and he presented one of the most wonderful characterizations ever witnessed on the stage. The part played by Mr. Marshall on the stage is in the hands of Robert Cain. Miss Frederick has an unusually appealing role and she makes the most of it. The story has all the captivating qualities which make productions of this character so potent a factor of clean and wholesome amusement. Miss Frederick is supported by excellent screen players, and the direction of the picture by Emile Chautard, is all that the most exacting taste can demand. Consistent Photoplay IT is quite refreshing to find a really consistent story in motion pictures, but it is generally conceded that the productions of Paramount and Artcraft more nearly approach consistency than those of any other concern. This is especially true as regards “Paid in Full,” the new Paramount photoplay starring Pauline Frederick which is the bill at the theatre this week. The play is a charming one and affords Miss Frederick a powerful characterization in which her artistry never is at fault. The effect is a satisfying performance in which an excellent supporting company appears to the highest advantage. 15
