This afternoon saw the initial per formance by the Eleanor ClSveialnsc great comedy drama, The Man op the Box, and there was a large audi ence in attendance The presentarlop Of the play seemed to give the great est pleasure, and judging by the ap- plause which was heard during the first act, certainly there was every eV1- dence that the play met the approval Of all in a marked manner
 ..The Man on the Box is the joint work of Mir McGrat1l and Grace Ilv- ingston FEurniss. and it has invar1a ply attracted the attention and met the approval of crowded houses It IS delightful play. with a very unusual love story, while the dramatic plot Is one which holds the attention closely During all the time it has been on the stage, 'FT4le Man on the Box' has never. known anything but success. the Cleveland Company, is sure to be immensely pleasing to the patrons or the Lyric Theatre.
 Miss Cleveland has a-beautiful part in the play being seen as Betty An nesley, with whom Lieut..

She has had him arrested but when the judge fines him, reients and not only pays his fathers coacf1man. He accepts the proposition, and proceeds to make v1o- lent love to Miss Betty, who resents his advances, but who is compelled, against her will, to return his affec- tion. The love story between the two is very prettily told, but there are many sharp clashes of wit between them, which keep the audience in a rare humor.
 The dramatic side to the story comes through the lieutenant's cleverness in wing Betty's father. Col. Annesley. from disgrace and ruin. in separatlng him from the clutches of a. designing Russian, Count Karioff (Robert kar- lcunoff). Col Annesley, in frenz
 zied attempt to recoup his wasted fortune as well as that of his daugh-
 ter which he has thrown away at the gamb bling table, has consented to sell i the plans of certain American fortlrI- cations to the Russian governr11 ert, The Count has 9 strong hold upon
 him by reason Of certain correspond l ence and a note of hand for $20,ooo, l but the lieutenant, oVefhear1ng the ! plot, interferes, and thWarts the l Having thus won the father, it is easier for him to win the girl. which
 he succeeds in doing. and the play i ends very happily There IS plenty ! of excellent comedy throughout the
 play, but the dramatic interest is so strong that it demands the most at i tention and makes the play the sue 1 cess it has always proven. The thre acts of the play are laid, first in a ] CTS at "Chevy Chase, the country 1 viIla. of Col. Annesiey- There Is eX- ! cellent opportunity for some effective ! and handsome scenery, which has been
