LAFAYETTE.

Lots of thrills, few creepy sensa-
tons and some well-rendered rural
comedy are to be found in the melo-
drama, ITO Be Buried Alive" offered
by the Hall Associate Players In the

The play was written by Frank
Lindon, member OF the company. 1t
Is the story of a little western New
York switch town on the Lackawanna
railway, where the villain, wanted in
the west for numbering a woman by
hypnotism, Is saved by the hero, a
locomotive fireman, and remains In
town to prey on his benefactors. He
hypnotizes Bessie Mason, the daugh-
ter of the honest old switchman, into
expressing love for him, and then by
nearly killing the switchman In his
tower, tries to wreck the train on
which the hero Is making his first
run as engineer, and which carries
detectives looking for him. He seeks
TO get the hero into trouble by trans
ferring a letter from a woman who
has been his victim, and finally hyp-
notices the heroine into a death trace.
This woman arrives In time to har-
rass him, and he finally meets death
from the postmasters shotgun.
Linden himself takes the part OF
Ben Mason, the switchman, and Jane
Lowe Is Bessie Mason, his daughter.
Jim" Hurley, the young engineer, is
impersonated by Erin G. Fitzgerald,
and ]. Raymond Barrett IL the hypno-
list villain. Otto Oretto does some

master. Others In the cast are John

Looking over the Miles theater bin

dinner at Sherry's, ones verdict must
be: It's first-class menu from soup

pleased.
Fred Bigelow and his half dozen

course In this vaudeville feast. Their
Offering is condensed musical come

comedy and tuneful song numbers and
Is especially appropriate at this par
ticular time. inasmuch as Tuesday is
the first day of school for Detroit's
boys and girls. The scene represents
the interior of a class room and the
youngsters are made up to represent
familiar types, with Mr.. Bigelow In the
role OF teacher The pranks his "pu-

mentioning. and Ii Is certainly great

GAYETY.

Roger Imhof, one of the bestknown
comedians on the burlesQue stage,
and Gertrude Everett, dainty little
songstress from England, shared the
honors In the Gayety, Sunday after
noon, where the "Fads and Follies
Co." opened q weeks engagement
Imhors fun Is at all times irresisti-
BILE, and entirely free from vulgarity.
Miss Everett takes q leading part In
the burlesque, but II was her songs
during the olio that made the real
hit. She was repeatedly recalled I'M
til her little throat refused to respond.
The company appeared In a two-act
burlesQue, called THE Green Sod
Club" which had TO do with the In
itiation OF Casey, a part acted by I'm
hof, into the mysteries of that organ
ization. The second act showed the
lodge room with Casey In the hands
Of his initiators. The FRANKS played
upon him caused great merriment.
The olio numbers were excellent.
Cotton and Miles sang several songs;
Imhof. Conn and Corinne appeared
In a laughable skit; Gertrude Everett
contributed her songs and Synder and
Buckley, musical comedians, produc-
ed music from all kinds OF instru-
ments.
The chorus carried by the company
Ia exquisitely gowned, good to look at
and well trained In drills and dances.
The orchestra was inclined at times
to be sadly out OF time, but one or
two rehearsals will remedy this de-
