1.-THE MAN ON THE BOX"

THE MAN ON THE BOX"
Seattle's obligation to John Cort
has been increased MANIFOLD by the
presentation in this city last night
of Max Figman in 1.-THE Man on the
Box" Mr.. Figman is one of Mr..
Corts stars, and for his foresight In
making it point to get Mr.. Figman
in his dragnet Mr.. Cort is entitled
to congratulations.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
Mr.. Figman is one of the two or
three most pleasing personalities on
the American stage today. There
was not woman in the Seattle the
alter last night who did not love him
from the moment of his first appear
ance. And there was not a man In
the house who failed to fall cap
tive to his charms.
In "The Man on the Box Mr.. Fig
man Is given a vehicle particularly
adapted to him. With numerous op-
portunities to overstep he keeps, al
ways within the bounds. AS groom
or gentleman of leisure there is
nothing lacking and one racks his
else some one who could better por-
tray the hero of Harold McGrath's
popular novel.
Mr.. Figman, of course, plays
Lieutenant Robert Worburton of the
Book. Charles Henderson, Worbur-
tons intended broth er-in-law, is
newspaper man in the dramatiza-
ton and Mr.. Morgan Wallace makes
of him a very pleasant character,
for Mr.. Wallace is a capable actor.
Elizabeth Annesley, the heroine
of the book, in the hands of Helen
Holmes, is all that the author could
have wished her to be. Miss Holmes
was last seen here in 1.-THE Virgin
ian.' She. is a capable actress,
sharing equally with Mr.. Figman in
their dual scenes. In the final
scene, when she admits her love for
her erstwhile groom, her work is Of
the highest class.
| Miss Beatrice Mcclure, a Seattle
girl, as Mrs. Conway, handled her
role in very charming manner and
is becoming an accomplished actress.
The remainder of the cast is thor
Oughly acceptable.
"The Man on the Box appears
at the Seattle this afternoon and
evening and closes it's engagement
in Seattle at the Grand tomorrow
night. 1t is one of the plays of the
season that should be seen.-Seattle

Frequent mis-nOmers are given tC
burlesque companies so that the pub
lie are oftentimes deluded into think
ing that the attraction billed is OF
another nature than it really is. But
this is not the case with "The Cam
payne Girls, sparkling combination
of beauty and wit. This company
will hold the boards next week, be-
ginning with a matinee Sunday at the
Metropolitan and the best criterion OF
any show company is its past per
formances. Nothing which money
and energy can obtain is missing in
the performance given by this com
pany. The comedians are clean cut
and do not depend on any horse play
or wild caricatures to draw out the
applause of their hearers. Every
where that this company has appear
ed encomiums have been heaped or
each individual actor and actress. The
costuming of the show is on a pal
with their thespian talents. The girls
are pretty and vivacious and they
have been educated to please. From
the moment the curtain goes up or
the opening skit until the last choru:
is sung everything goes with a snal
that is refreshing. Two acts and al
olio together with several specialitie'
