"Paid in Full" wu presented at the opera houM bare Uul night to -; fairly good crowd. Tbe play wi strong ou end presented in ft moat effective manner, and every member of tbe. east, which tu roost evenly balanced, -showed up strong. That the play waa appreciated by the au dience waa narked by handclap of ap proval andrat" tbe'end of the third act the audience broke loose In spontaneous- and long applause. The ' work of the entire east was good but that of Mine Gloria Gallop, a "Em ma Brooks," waa of a unusually high order and she waa a decided favorite.

Manager Byles has warned the public against such behavior- and tbeatened harsh meas ures if it was not stopped. , He has tried to prevent it. . But when a show is being presented he ia a busy man, both at the. box office and behind the " scenes. He cannot attend to his du ties and personally - oupemw . the bouse. This work should be done by a policeman. . They nre paid to do such a duty.- They are admitted to ' the opera bouse free for that purpose. They are present when the disgrace ful conduct is going pn.' ..When a crowd of Concord eitisens go to the opera house it is the duty of the chief of police of Concord to see that they have protection. Such conduct - as was . carried oa the opera house last night waa disgrace to" a cul tured community and : refined audi ence. Did an officer go to the crowd of hoodlums who were throwing pop- ' corn on ladies and talking and laugh ing while the play waa going on! . Are the police going to allow iadies of Concord to be insulted in such a ; manner any longer f - There ia one way for you to stop it, Mr. Officer, and that, is to march such "offenders out of there immediately, ; and when they are out the show can not only. proceed ' without . interrup tion but the atmosphere will be much purified. . ! i; -'J ::S - Manager Byles has a right to pro " tectum; against his usinesa-Mng4n jured.
