Scene from f’The Last Warning,
to 1 be presented at the Colonial
thoitre Wednesday, January 2nd.
the history of “The Last Warn-
ln* ft which cornea to the Colonial
theatre Wednesday, events is al
most'as unique as IBe play itself.
The story has been told and re
told from com to coast ,yet It
loses none of Ittf* Interest In the
telling- Several yew ago Collier’s
Weekly, ran, as a serial, an en
grossing mystery story by Wads
worth Camp called “The House of
Fear.” Shortly thereafter the novel
was published* In book form to
thrill and delight additional thou-
canda of readers. Then, apparently
having served it* purpose. It grad
ually dropped Into obscurity like
Other erstv.’hye famous -novels.
While seeking rent »uu .relega
tions at a little^ out of the way
summet (hotel. Thomas Fallon, an
actor and playwright, chanced to
find is cony of the story. He soon
felt convinced, that It offered* ex-*
(optional opportunities for an un
usual play and set himself assidu
ously to the task of making the
dramatization. When the play was
completed, however, tfce enthusi
astic author found himself con
fronted with an even greater task,
that of finding a reoductr. Week
after week he pursued his wearl-
ecme,* heartbreaking quest without
result Finally tho play was ac
cepted by Mindlin and Goldreyer,
but Mr. Fuller* was not exultant,
for these two young men—both
are,still Vi their twenties—wcee
comparatively obscure producers;
moreover, they were impecunious.
Their iftlef assets were ambition,
courage and* initiative, They de
cided to change the title of the
play to ”The Last Warning” an*’
It Vs quite possible that this ad
monitory appleatlon played no
smnll part In spurring them on to
achievement
Several weeks later two young
men with tfcumplng hearts stood In
front of tho Klaw theatre and sur
veyed the huge electric sign which
blazed the announcement* that
“The Last Warning” was the cur
rent attraction. They had staked
some twenty thot>**nd dollars
borrowed money on their eourag
if tons a day and wer« prepared
*o inaugurate a gas war which
would have been crushing to tbs
German*. _
