THE BAT’ THRILLS
AND MYSTIFIES
Audience Held Spellbound For
Two Hours And a Half By
Gripping Play
“Lizzie, what are you trying t
do?”
'‘l’m trying to crawl under th
floor, ma’am."
And Lizzie’s state of mind ap
proximated that of about nine-tenth
of the audience that sat thri. c.i <
tense through two our and a half
of he mysteries of "The Bat, pr<
tented at the Rylander Wednesday
right.
Heralded as a thriller, it was that
and more —it was a thriller of thrill
err. It was a crime play with a niys
tery at every turn. The plot invu
ed the robbery of a bank, the accu
tion of the young cashier and hi- <i;
appearance, his sweetheart, her m;.i-l
en aunt who had rented a haunted'
bouse in the country for a period of
reet, a detective on the trail of "The
Bat,” a baffling criminal; a Jap but
Icr who had been in the employ of
the president of t'. e looted l ank, a
doctor whose actions were mysteri
ous, a house maid Lizzie, who wa
kept in hysterics by tin peculiar go
inge on; thunder at J. lightning, ex
.finguished lights, and other blood
curdling tnement..
“If thos? bghts to out again, or.
if she screams like that again in the
dark, I just naturally am going to
pass out,” remarked the hitherto gay
yojing person on the next row behind
the writer. And she had plenty of
company in her feelings. For fie
quently Lizzie’s hysterics threatened
to spread to the audience.
But it was all entertainment pure
entertainment, with little of he real
ly sordid, and proved an ivigorainjt
gymnastic cvercise for the intellect
attempting to follow the elderly con
structed story, deliberately concoct
ed to mislead, baffle and mystify
.until an instant before the final cur
tain, when the whole puzzle is made
perfectly clear kind simple. So
quickly does the end and solution
