    The Siege and Fall of the Alamo was made in San Antonio
    with a cast of 2,000 actors “at a cost of more than $35,000.00.”
    At “five great reels” in length, it was the first feature-length film about the Alamo.
    Praising the film, the Light called it “a splendid piece of photography,
    clear in every detail, and the acting is perfect.
    The play seems to please the patrons and is pronounced by historians as a great production.”


    Only a few still photographs remain at the Library of Congress.
