THE NIGHT WAS CHILLY
And. the Play. "A Bogus Lord." at Eas. 5 ss Lake Pavilion, Was In Accord
 With the Atmosphere.

The Albert Taylor company. under the made its first bow at East Lah= cavilon last night before large and represen. a. tive audience. Ths night was chilly and the performance was strie.ly in accord with the weather. "A Bogus Lord" was the bill. and in capable hands could have been appreciated, but the cast was in capable.s and thersfore the frost.
 The Birmingham Railway and Elecric ! company in securing the company were assured that the theatrical CD company would please, and a contract with such a proviso embodied therein was drawn up. sTh@ management of the Birming- ham Railway and Electric company have ever endeavored to give cheir patrons ! the best of everything in the way of amusements, and for this should have the highest respect CT every one in Bir- mingham and it's many suburbs. They are public-spirited, and spend immense sums of money in attemp ing to secure hrSt-class attractions, and should they be imposed upon the people should re- uI7 7-mber that the railway company Is not at fault This assertion is borne out by , the fact that many times proprietors of theaters are imposed upon through no fault of their own, and hence their pat p-rOnS SuIIef.
 The management of the Birmin gham Railway and Electric company havs been imposed upon in this instance, and the State Herald ventures the assertion shat they will prevent their patrons from fur tlier imposition. &
 I The critic fortunate tely for himself, was mo: present during the whole of last nights performance, but heard and saw enough to convince him that he would be justified in saying:
 , "Just tell them that you saw me, but you won't see me any more until good ac'ors grace the boards"
 Tearing, however that he might have been unjust in his criticism, the critic took particular gains to ascertain the opinions of sothers competent and relia- -ble people, and they, too, were of the same opinion
 Perhaps .th9 weather had something to E do with. the actors. If so, the critic is Sunjust, but he feels that the Birmingham Railway and Electric company are too z gFnerou59and 'broa d-minded to be inn posed upon, and in writing as he does he desires his readers to know that no censure is laid at the door of the man agement of the property They mean well and will spend plenty of money in affordfEg their patrons amusing enter tainments, and the critic, in writing as he does, merely desires to see them spend their good money on good attractions.
