The Man on the Box and Other Stage Offerings
A Fort Worth era newspaper page reviews The Man on the Box a Fur niss McGrath stage piece featuring Lieutenant Warburton who impersonates a coachman and lands in a police court then joins the Annesley household. The piece promises lively three acts and a happy ending with romance and a faint melodrama. Also featured are Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and a Plaza theater bill with acts by the Bama Bama Girls and others plus matinee bargains at the Royal theater and assorted local notices about fire damage and a jewelry store ad.
