Large Crowds at This
Playhouse

Messrs CONFESS q Edwards are pro-
ducing this week at the Avenue. Grace
Livingston's Furnisss dramatlzation Of
Harold MacGrath's famous book "The
Man on the Box"
The book Is doubtlessly known 10
the majority of theatre goers and its
charms will be considerably enhanced
by seeing the characters on the stage.
The entire production OF this fascinat-
ing romance was exceedingly artistic.
Mr.. Miller, who Is the man on the
box" gave a performance which was
particularly pleasing TO last nights
audience, his efforts being graciously
received.
Miss PITT has a very long part this
week. and she thoroughly grasped the
real character OF Miss Betty Annes-
ley. bringing out the part LUMINOSITY.
She played with great discretion and
technique and her characterization was
received with outbursts Of appreciative
applause.
Mr. Klawans as the Count Karloff a
Russian diplomat, displayed great re-
serve force, and played the part con-
vincingly.
Mr.. Hammond as Colonel George
Amnesty, a retired army officer, was
complicated In a plot with the Russian

to secure a plan Of the United States

which he was foiled by Lieut.. Robert
Worburton, lately resigned, who ar
rived on the scene Just IN time 20
take the plans from the Russian diplo-
mat and so save the honour OF Colonel
Annesley. Mr., Hammond played with
4 great dignity and gave a remarkabl,
strong portrayal Of the wavering Col
onel.
Mr.. McDermott acted with splendi
show Of young. manly strength; hi
5 light comedy bandying Of phrases bein
unusually artistic and effective.
; Mr.. Burke extracted great dea
T Of comedy out OF the part of ColonC
Frank Raleigh, which greatly please
the audience.
Mr.. Hocken gave a consistent AM

and a similar fate is doubtless in store
for any future measure looking to the
replacing of the Indian on the copper.
Proof may be offered that the design
does not look in the least like an
American Indian, but the people have
long accepted it as a symbol OF liberty
and they resent every effort to
change it.
1t is interesting In this connection
to note that congress has always op-
posed placing the head of any man on
the nations coins. AS far back as
1872 a senate bill providing for
placing the likeness of George Wash
ington on the 81 coins was voted
down because 1t was copying "a fea-
ture of monarchy" Since that date
some ideal figure, like the Indian, the
eagle or the goddess of liberty, has
been retained as the design on the
coin, although this sentiment has not
prevailed with the paper currency.
Portraits of presidents and prominent
statesmen have been used on. the pa
per bills issued by the government
but the coin has been held sacred t.
the symbol. Some changes have beer
made toward getting better looking
Indians. eagles and goddesses, but tn,
symbol has remained and doubtless
will continue TO have the call owe

Kindling hope that led him on.

To the plains of vast achievement, where

And their work shall stand exalted, and
their eyes shall shine and glow,
With the hope that led them on.
