TIE PEOPLE DELIGHTED.
"sege of Alamo" and Miss Kitty Wolfe in Specialties Drew an Imnpense
 Crowd to East Lake Pavilion.

An immense audience attended the per formance at East Lake pavilion and judging from the manner in which every one present laughed and cheered the evening must have been most enjoya- ble che to all present.
 "The Siege of Alamo" by the Albert Taylor Dramatic company and Miss Kitty Wolf, the charming soubrette, who made her first appearance at East Lake Monday night, was the attraction. The Siege of the Alamo" a historical sketch of Texas in '36 dramatized, is a very interesting production and has some clever lines and real strong situations All things considered the performance was very cleVerly put on and the com pany was entitled to the immense crowd present and the reception accorded by them
 Jim Bowie of Bowie knife" fame a character in which he has been very suc- cessful, afforded that affable young ac tor, MT. Albert Taylor. ample opportu- nifty to show his ability. MT. McDon- aid as "Davy Crockett was also well placed. Messrs Bell, Stark, Robertson. Double and Garnette, were also well fairly well represented, little more en- ergy being needed by some of them to make their lines appreciable
 The central figure of attraction was Miss Kitty Wolf, who did two very clev- CT turns, one of them a song and dance sketch with Italian harp accompaniment, the pleasing soubrette doing the perform ing on the harp, thus proving woman capable of doing three things satisfac torily at the same time. - Her topical song was also very good and she received a well deserved and repeated encore. '
 Miss Wolfe has proven a decided ac quisition to the company and sprang at once into favor with every one.
