AT THE THEATRES
1.-THE WOLF"

Before a light crowd last night, Mr..
Albert Taylor and his company pre-
scented THE Wolf" This is a strong
drama, telling the story of the thwarted
love of a railroad builder in the Canad-
ian hill, and the closing play of Mr.. Tay-
lor's company was. if anything. stronger
and better played than his first per-
Torrance THE Game" Mr.. Taylor per-
s%onally, however, is better fitted and
would prove much more popular in
Brownsville in the plays for which he
has for many years been famous in
Texas. AS always, Mr.. Taylor has sur
rounded himself with a strong cast, and
in his present company he has several
who during their stay in Brownsville
have proven themselves to be excellent
opponents of the Thespian art. Notable
among these might be mentioned Miss
Maud HOllingswOrth who, as Hilda Nc
lavish in The Wolf" made a profound
impression on the audience.
Lew Gleason as Andrew McTavish, the
unnatural father of Hilda McTavish,
made an unusually stern father and his
seemingly great hate for his daughter
at times caused shudders to run up and
down the spines of the sympathetic audi
ence. AS McTavish, Mr.. Gleason had an
active part in the play, and as the story
doubtless calls for the hatred he shows
his daughter, he does the part full
credit. Robert Ross as William Melon
aid, the railroad builder and "The Wolf
is good. Mr.. Ross has the knack of a
shifty glance that gives him the oppor-
tunity to display his 'villianOus" quail
ties, and this he does to perfection.
Leon BOstwick as George Huntley, a
big hearted, impetuous boy, gave the
crowd what little humor there was in
the story, and he made good. Ewing
Taylor as Baptiste LeGrande, an I'M
couth backswoodsman, gives away by
his voice the fact that he is more of a
New Yorker or a Chicagoan than a back
wOOdsman.
Albert Taylor will be welcome back to
Brownsville whenever he besides to come
and his many friends here are sure that
on his next tour he will get bach to his
old time humorous plays that made him
so popular all over the Lone Star State.

though the vehicle was not quite to her

role only appeared on the stage long

on his funny songs.
