Enough people took time away from the King's Highway and the other outside attractions to make It a week of profit for the manage, and thus more or less of content has followed in the managerial office, whence salaries and other Items of expenaa are paid. The ad ditional, comfort Is the mauger's of know ing that this week he will not be asked to "pull" against the horse show, nor next, for "thtre. hain't no horse show," nor Is there to be any. This will give thi eoclety folks and others an uninterrupted opportunity to go to tha play and enjoy It without thinking that some sort Of so cial remissness Is likely to be charged agalret them. The announcements for the week seem to point to the real opening of the season at last. At the Boyd Miss Robson will return with the quaint charac ter in which alia made so many laugh last season, and fur the first half of the week will charm her admirers with her doings as Aunt Mary. For the latter half of the week we are to have the opportunity of looking over "Paid in Full." the play that made lCugene Walters famous over night, and that lias caused as much of a furore since It was offered first late last winter In New York. It la coming from Chicago, where It was a reigning erase tor many mouths, with the same cast that made It a success there. The question la a socio logical as wcl as a psychological one, and the Dandling of It has started no end of talk. The Burwood wheels Into the line of theaters that have taken up "The Devil," and we will bo given a chance to see what is Irj the mind of Ferens Molner when he wrote It. The German version Is to be used, but It Is none the less devlish because It has been translated from the Hungarian tote the German and-then Into the lng llah language. At the Knig a "thriller' and a musical comedy are; the attractions, and at the Orpheum a vaudeville bill headed by Cressy aud Dayne, undoubted stars. Is promised. ' ' Coral ac Events. ' Beglnlng on Sunday night, October 4, May Itobson will open an engagement of four nights and matinee in "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary." the comedy In which sue has nightly for the last year pleased laige audiences. M'.ss Rolson Is delightful In her qualm role of Aunt Mary, which la well adapted to her laugh-provoking capabili ty s and, at the sams time, one that gives her opportunity for work of the more subtle sort. Auut Mary Is so funny that the thne acts rlipla and bubble whh laugn. tt r. afls Robion loses hur own ' Identity completely in the tole. HY quiet, old fashioned wit and burner Is spontaneous and mixed with the sadness Umt her nephew brings into her life, alternately lightens and aaddena her audience , May Bobsoo as' Aunt Mary stands aloue. She has created a distlnot oharaoter and acts It with such fidelity that we might easily imagine her the Aunt Msry ef our own home. "Paid In Pull," a play which has scored a tremendous suoceae both In this country and In Eng and, will be at the Boyd theater next Thurs ley, ;Frl sy and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee. "Paid In Full,' which was written by Eugene Walter, was produced In New York last February and has been running there ever since. It had i run in Chicago that lasted all summer and rccently.lt was produced In London, where It made an enormous hit. All this should rscommend It to playgoers here. The central figure Is Joe Brooks, an fl$ a week clerk. Joe lives In a Harlem flat. His young wife had a home of ease before her marriage. Privations and economy em bittered Joe. though his wife bears them with genuine womanliness. Unable to gratify his desires honestly, Joe steals from the Latin-American Steamship com pany, where he ia employed. There is a short period of freedom from poverty, then comes discovery. Joe taxes his wife with responsibility for his theft. He declares that he stole for her sake, and now de mands that she clear him from the con sequences. He compels her to go alone at night to the apartments cf Captain Wil liams, head of the steamship company, to bargain for bis release. He doss not re strict her as to the terms she may make. He promises not to question her. Horrified and afraid, the woman is driven to under take this mission. Captain Williams who began as a South Sea trader, has carried through life the brutal methods he ac quired there. Most women, among; them Emma BiO'.ks, fear the man. who boasts that ho has bought their sex. Knowing what is expected of her by her husband in her dealings with Williams, Emma faces the man to find that he has a quality of heart ' hitherto hidden. She effects her husband's escarie from the punishment, but she has come to aee Joe in Ills true telf and the night's adventure parts them fi-r all time. "Paid in Full' is in four sets. The scenws are In New York. Wug-enlu-.ls & Kemper, producers of this piece, are presenting It with a speclaly selected cast of well known payers. The cempanv being, Guy, Batos Poit. Clara, Blandlck, George Backus, rk-otj Cooper, Florence Robinson, Marlon Berg ar.d G-Hrge Bel-den. When General Lew Wallace penned his Immortal "Beta Hur; A tal of the Christ' he "bullded better than; he knew." f.r when dramatized "Ben-Hur" scored the greatest triumph ever known In an Amer ican theater.

Mali orders, when accompanied by remittance will receive prompt attention. Of the new plays presented in New York this season "The Devil" has by long odds created tho .deepest interest and widest dis cussion. Tills may be duplicated at the Burwood, where "The Devil" beglrs a week's run this afternoon. The story runs through three acts and in each the Hun garian author, Ferens Molner, has boldly set forth in dialogue and jettons thu passions hs deals with. All through the play the Devil appears to, be laughing at the human weakness he emphasizes. Answering the query as to his identity, thj Devil says: "I corns from nowhere, I ' go nowhere; (and touching his questioner's forehead) 1 am here." As portrayed in tho comedy the Devil is but an embodiment of human Impulses a naked showing of the, human desires, conceived in darkness, nur tured in cowardice until at last, strong as a Hon and shameless as tha Satanic Imp himself, they burst forth and stalk, fear leas In the light of day. Aptly Is the piecs named for.lt Is his satanlo majesty. Ths Burwood management, has had ample time In which to prepare every detail of the production of this comedy and the cast hss been carefully selected from among ths Burwood players. Mr. Ingraam will be "The Devil" himself. Mr. Grew Is to play the artist and Miss Elliott the "Olga Hoff man" of tho play. Matinees will be given today, Tuesday, Thursday and, Saturday. "Panhandle Pete," a musical comedy adapted to the stage by Wlllard Holeomb from' the cartoons by George McManus, will be the attraction at the Krug theater for four days, starting with matlneo today. The play Is largely of tuneful mualo, das- are made with artistry and accuracy. He Is supported by la capable cast and the theme chosen by the author Is one that has never been touched upon before. Is rich In a comedy vein and the situations have been Mended skillfully and are Interestingly used as tne basis for the plot of the play. "In at the Finish," the latest railroad story Lincoln J. Carter ever wrote, will be at the Krug theater for three days, start tug next .Thursday night. There will be the usual matinee on Saturday. A good cast brings out the telling points of the story, which is a strong powerful melodrama of rural life. The scenery Is realistic and In keeping with the rest of the play. Will M. Cressy and Blanche Dayne In tho former's one-act piece, "Town Hall Tonight," will head the bill at the Or pheum, opening with matinee today. Most of the ether numbers are of the funmaklng kind, with a banjo artlBt from King Ed ward's realm and an English singing comedienne with four cute plckan nnks. "Town Hull Tonight" Is a funny conceit based on the many duties and worries of the manager of a one-nlght-stand theater. Blanche Dayne appears ss the leading lady, while Mr. Cressy assumes the managerial end of the piece. Amy Stanley and Bert Earl, both from England, appear in sepa rate arts. Miss Stanley is accompanied by four clover pl.kanlnnles who can firs and dance better than several hundred ether "picks" from whom they were selected. Mr. Earl Is a banjo player of superior ability. He plsyed for the king of England and ths papers have been giving him kindly notice wherever hs has appeared. Clifford and Burks, as burnt cork evokers of laughs, mads good here last season. They havs a consignment of new songs snd funny dialogue. Bowers, Walters and Crocker mix up acrobatic feats with dia logue and songs and know how to amuse as well ss entertain, flinging, dancing and "some pretty clothes" are ths elements with which Lillian Levllle snd Robert Sinclair surround themselves.

BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT Pa tho of a Chauffeur Touches the Heart of Judicial Auto Owner. He was the owner, of sn auto and was running ths machine himself. Ths offi cer swors that he was going fifty miles an hour. "Well, sir, what have you got to say?" asked ths judge. "That the offloer made a great mis take, sir. Whsn I left ths garage I took a gait of five miles an hour. Two blocks below I rsn ovsr an old woman who was gossiping on ths sidewslk. Thers were sev eral men about who stsrted to raise a fuss, and so I put on an extra mile an hour." "And thenr "Then I had the misfortune to run over a man mixing mortar, but I don't think he amounted ta much. I should have stop ped, only there wss Urns and sand blowing about and I didn't want to get It In my eyes. I went on at seven miles an hour." "I see." "I should hsve kept at that If I hadn't taken the wheel off a carriage. Tha lady who was riding In it began to ask for ex planations and I put the speed at eight. I hate long-winded explanations." ' "Yes. snd then?" "Then It was a pedestraln crossing before me. I think he was thinking deeply on some subject I think he wss. I could havs got down sfter ths wheels passed over him and at,ked him Just what subject It wss, but you know how disagreeable It Is to ask questions of a stranger. I then Increased the speed to nine miles sn hour, snd was Jogging along and singing to myself when the officious and utterly mistaken officer arrested me." "I'm I" replied the Judge. "Ths officer says fifty miles sn hour, but I give you the benefit of ths doubt. Ths prisoner Is discharged. I own an auto myself." New. Orleans Picayune.
