Gina S. Pearl estate the house on Spring

The Man on the Box at The Colonial
Thursday evening was without doubt
the best attraction seen here this season.
The play is every bit as entertaining as

the dramatizations tof popular novels.
Wilmer Walter is fully as attractive
as the Bob Worburton of the novel and
his acting is above that usually seen here.
He is on the stage all the time so strong
support is not needed but the cast is
really very good, especially Miss Louise
Langdon as Betty Annesley.
The first frost of the season which
often comes early in September delayed
