The Man on the Box at Graham Delights Audiences
The Man on the Box a three act comedy drew a large crowd at the Graham last night and was praised for clever plotting and strong performance. Herbert Thayer as Lieutenant Warburton impressed with stage presence and a near flawless interpretation, supported by Win W. Trousdale Nellie Warner and a capable company. The play’s farcical coachman sequence and mistaken identity fuel the humor as scenes shift from Washington to the streets, with a romance subtly brewing across the Atlantic voyage.
