TTTK TiUlillAM RECORDER. 5N-. PA I Novelized From Eugene Walters Great Play J "VJ That "Paid In Fall" is a story of absorbing interest has been proved by its phenomenal suc cess in dramatic form. For two seasons there has been no dim ination in the drawing power of this vital piece of realism. In its present form it is not less engrossing. ' The features which made it so powerful as a play are not less potent in the serial. It is the same keen exposition if human motives put into the Simplest forms of expression. There is no waste of material, , no attempt to moralize, no break in the continuity. The three men who are the central figures in) the story stand oat in admirable distinctness from the very first, and the one woman whose spien did rectitude illuminates it all lives from the moment of her appearance.-, Although it is cer tain to produce frequent thrills, the story is neither melodra matio nor sensational. Its power lies in its humanness. ' j "Seema to hive done roar irother a whole lot of food. Sba never. aid hlot op to that Harlem flat" , "la all the yeara I've known you.
