The LAFAYETTE.

Alexander Dumas' play, "CamiIie,"
which has been before the public for
more than half century, and which
has been commended and condemned,
alternately, was the Offering in the
Lafayette theater Sunday afternoon.
The merits or dement's of the play are
too well known to need any remark.
The part OF the unfortunate girl whose
love for Armand Duval impels her TO
sacrifice her one chance for happi-
ness, is acted by Miss Harriet Barton
In a sympathetic and convincing man
ner, while Joseph Gillow Is the Ar
mand.

TIE AVENUE.

Miner & Marion's Dreamland bur-
lesquers entertained the audience at
the Avenue Sunday afternoon with a
mixture OF breezy nonsense called
Newport. The music, books and lyrics
are the work OF Marion, and in this
the music is not half bad. Dandy Dan
keeps the audience in good humor.
and the men and girls have some good
voices. The songs OF the Liberty
Four" were good, and Darling and
Reynolds, 1.-The Manhattan Girls"
made a hit with their chewing gum
song. The three Hanlons have a good
acrobatic stunt.

THE LYcEuM.

AS delightful entertainment,
George AIDES comedy, Just Out OF
College" that made it's first appear
ance In Detroit Sunday afternoon In
the Lyceum theater, Is a winner. The
play is decidedly an AIDE production,
and the AIDE humor and satire per-
meated every line. The play Is at
tractively staged. There Is an excel
lent chorus of vivacious young wom-
en- and squad Of college boys that do
justice to their parts.
The part of the speculative woman
who goes into business, successfully
bucks" the trust and comes out OF
the fray with niee-sized bank ac'
count, Is played with naturalness by
Miss Kate Collier, who has been seen
and heard previously in other produc-
tons In Detroit. Lester Crawford, an
actor full of sympathy and understand
ing, is seen in the role Of mischiev-
Gus young college man, who, back OF
all his fun and mimicy, shows that he
has brains.
The present engagement is for the
week, with matinees "Wednesday and
Saturday.

CONCRETE FOR HOUSE BUILDING.
Mixture Is Cheap and II Makes

struction, says the New York Post.
Within recent years concrete has
been used extensively and II Is becom-
ing more and more popular Concrete
Is only mixture of cement, sand,
stone and water. the proportions vary
ing with the particular application.
For ordinary building purposes, one
part of cement, two and onehalf 10
three parts OF sand. and five 10 seven
parts OF stone, moderately well moist
ened with water. make a good mix

Concrete has been used for centur'
les. During the days of King Solo
mon. walls and arches were built oil
/ IL. and many of them are still In
good state of preservation The In
yention and development of machinery
for making the mixture and holding
il into blocks mas rendered it possible
10 use quantities of concrete. During
the past year 100000 barrels OF &c
ment were used in the United States
alone. as compared with about 100000
twenty-five years ago. Millions OF dol
lars are now invested in plants and
manufacturing cement, concrete NIX
ers and molding machines.
better house can be built OF con
crete for the money than OF wood,
brick or stone. A concrete house can
be erected at cost nearly as reason
able as wooden one, for about one
half the cost OF brick. and one-quar'
Ter the cost of stone. and il has the
further advantage of costing less to
keep in repair
Sand and stone are generally found
near the building site. SO the freight
