LONDON, Sept. 6.--Daniel Lynde Blount,
a young American business man, who
lived In Brussels and acted as driver

LYceuM.

The Roundup" the seemingly per-
ennial popularity of which mas given
it the position Of classic OF melo-
drama. opened weeks engagement
In the Lyceum theater, Sunday even
ing. This Is the sixth consecutive
season In which this play has been
seen in Detroit, and judging from the
audience which greeted Sunday
nights opening. II Is as popular as
ever. The whooping cowboys. paint
ed Indians, and spotted horses are
still there, and Shep Camp makes a
Slim Hoover who is bigger and bet
ter than ever. The Calling gun barks
as fiercely as ever, and Apaches bite
the dust with amazing frequency.
As Indicated Elm the foregoing. the
chief appeal OF the Roundup" lies
In its merit as a spectacle rather than
In any intrinsic dramatic value. al
though there Is a sweet and whole
some love story running throughout
the three acts. The battle scene in
which a force of United States
soldiers, led by an Arizona sheriff,
rout a war party OF Apaches Is one OF
the most ambitious and realistic
scenes ever produced on the stage.
For noise, enthusiasm and stirring
qualities, II would do credit To a wild
west show. The Apache braves.
mounted on ponies. winging their way
slowly down a rocky defile, is espe-
cially impressive and Is carried out
with startling realism.
Shep Camp as Slim Hoover, $40
pound sheriff OF Pinal county, Is an
actor OF ability, and moreover can
roll cigarette with one hand In a
way which brought rounds OF APP
plause. He is the man who smooths
out the difficulties OF Jack Payson,

conceals the fact of Dicks return.
and Bud Mckee, half-breed, with a
grievance against Jack, accuses the
latter OF the killing and robbery Of
an express messenger, knowing that
Jack, In order TO prove his innocence,
must reveal the fact OF Lanes return.
Echo learns that Lane Is alive and
sends Jack into the desert TO find
him. Jack finds Lane dying of thirst
and both are beset by band Of
Apaches. when Sheriff Hoover arrives
at the head OF detachment OF
soldiers. That's all. except for the
conventional happy ending with re-
cancellation between Jack and Echo.
Gertrude Perry plays Echo Allen,
and John b. Mack makes an accept
able Jack Payson. The nameless In
dian who hangs head downward from

having been shot by Lane. also, de-
