Probably the best play of its class, without exception, that has been presented in Belleville, ill., for years was "The Man on the Box," which was the attraction last night. Bellville ptople who have jead the book (and this probably includes the larger par* of the population) fell in love with the story, and were anxious to have it interpreted from the stage. It seems as if most of these people were present last night, as every available inch of seating space was occupied, mrny people standing throughout the evening, while a few extra seats were provided in the aisles. In many cases the dramatization of a book does not follow the story as told by the author, but this cannot be said of the one under consideration. While it is true i that the length of the story precluded \ the possibility of following out all of the details, nevertheless the most interesting parts were called out of the .book and woven into the play In such * fi manner as to afford ah evening of, rare pleasure, particularly w-hen interpreted by such a capable company. The piece requires very clever acting! throughout, and each member of the company last night discharged his or her obligation in this respect in a manner that stamped them ar, actors and acresses of the first magnitude. The pleasure of the evening was considerably augmented by the magnificent costumes worn by the participants in the play.—Times-Democrat. Belleville, 111. “The Man on the Box.” by Harold McGrath and Grace Livingston Furniss, will be presented at the Bosse opera house Thursday, February 2nd. This will be an agreeable surprise to those who have read the book, at it is one of the most delightful stories ever written. ABOUT YOUR ASHES.
