COMMENCING Monday<br />
evening, June 4, with<br />
matinees Wednesday and<br />
Saturday, The Nixon Players<br />
will present "The Last Warning,"<br />
which has overwhelmed<br />
theatre-goers of New York with<br />
its novelty of plot, striking situations<br />
and love story. The idea<br />
involves a haunted theatre. The<br />
leading man has vanished. It is<br />
alleged that his ghost is sticking<br />
around to see that no one else<br />
fills his part. A manager defies<br />
the spook and proceeds to engage<br />
a cast. Rehearsals are attended<br />
with spooky surprises,<br />
fearsome vapors spread, pictures<br />
drop from the wall, flames leap<br />
from dust - covered furniture,<br />
sandbags flop from the flies to<br />
tables, and other things happen<br />
in such quick succession that<br />
everyone is wondering what will<br />
let go next.<br />
"The Last Warning" is staged<br />
from "The House of Fear," a<br />
story written about ten years<br />
ago by Wadsworth Camp, a<br />
Princeton graduate. Several<br />
years ago Thomas F. Fallon<br />
KATHRYN CARD<br />
Of The Nixon Players.<br />
chanced on the story in an outof-the-way<br />
Summer hotel in<br />
Maine and became so absorbed<br />
that he decided to dramatize it.<br />
It was purchased by two young<br />
producers, Mindlin and Goldreyer,<br />
who changed the name to<br />
"The Last Warning."<br />
An excellent cast is provided<br />
by The Nixon Players, including<br />
Harry Bannister, Katherine Wilson,<br />
Josephine Whittell, Louise<br />
Quinn, Kathryn Card, Fred Sullivan,<br />
