Miss Adelaide Westcott.

Tuesday evening. April 25th. The
Nashville (Tenn.) Kramer speaks OF her
in the following complimentary man
ner:
Miss Adelaide Westcott, a versatile
and attractive young woman, captl-
waited the audience the moment she
stepped upon the stage. Miss West
colt first appeared in a charming red
travelling costume and hat on her way
from Paris to Geneva {; next in the
costume of a Swiss peasant and then
in the dress of naughty child in a
hotel, and lastly in an evening dress.
In each Of these she was captivating.
The chief charm in, her recitations,
aside from her excellent facial express
ion, lay in the fact that she did not
seem to be reciting.
