Al H. Wilaon.
The eons* or Al H. Wilson In "Met*
In thfc Alps,” at the Grand Wednesday
night, were aa stfay bits of sunshine
playing truant on a day of clouds and
darkness. '
The “golden voiced" one has lost
none of his power to please. His rich,
rlsar voice still rings true as a bell, and
hla rendition of the old “Faderland"
aongs sent many of thoae who heard
him across the ocean and back to the
land of their fathers. Mr. Wilson la
not stingy with his singing, and hr had
to answer repeated encores, twice hav
ing to make curtain speeches.
With ail hla singing and with his
pleasing German dialect, Mr. Wilson
was not ante to bridge over the |>oor
work of his support, nor the unnatural
plot and awkward lines of his play.
There were several pretty scenes io
be sure, and the play may have been
constructed largely aa n medium for the
songs of Mr. Wilson, but these cannot
atone for the suffering endured while
Mr. Wilson was changing his costume,
nor for some of the hopeless puasleB of
tht plot.
UtUe Reenle Farrington ns the “Lit
tle Deutcher" was really on Alpine blos
som, deserving more than the passing
notice here given. J. D, G.
Baldwin-Melvllle Stock Company.
What la aald to be the greatest drama
of the South ever written, “Louisiana,”
will he given Its first presentation in
Atlantu 'Umrsduy night by the Bald-
vvln-MelvINe Stock Company at the El
Dorado. It has had phenomenal runs
In almost all of the large cities, and es
pecially .In New Orleans last year the
records of the theater were broken
during the week It played there.
The leading roles will be taken by
Mr. Murdoch and Miss Vail de Vernon,
and some new members of the cast
who have just arrived will make their
first appearance before an Atlanta au
dience at the first performance. The
special scenery painted especially for
tills production wilt be used and ths
stage settings will be handsome. The
advance sale for the opening perform-
nnce has been large and It Is firmly
believed this will, be one of the hits of
the Baldwin-Melvllle season In Atlanta.
"Louisiana" will be given Thursday,
Friday and Haturday nights, with mat
inees Friday and Saturday.

"The One Woman.”
“I met Thomas Dixon, Jr., quite by
accident some ten years ngo," said 13.
E. Rose, the play producer, as he sat
wbtchlng the Initial performance of
“The One Woman” at Norfolk, tho oth
er evening. “I was (Town at the Acad
emy of Music one Sunday morning
looking over some of the scenery of
one of the Frohman pieces, and white
up In the fly gallery one of the scenic
artists said:
“ “There la a preacher holding forth
down stairs on the Btoge.’ I went over
to the front of the fly gallery where I
could look down on the head of the
speaker, a very slender and very tall
young man, with a heavy mop of black
hair. He had q soft Southern accent
and was speaking to a showman's de
light, a packed house. The keynote of
his power seemed to be his absolute
earnestness.
“After listening for some time I
walked down to the stage and there
got my llret near view of Thomas
Dixon. After he had flnlshed I spoke
to him and found he was quite as much
Interested In the stage as I was. I told
hhn I thought he would make a great
actor, but he said he had no desire to
act—his aim waa to write the great
American plaj^"
Many people are of the opinion that
Mr. Dixon has succeeded and that his
"The One Woman," which will be seen
at the Grand Frldny and Saturday
nights and Saturday matinee, has
much foundation to that claim. The
play hna been enthusiastically received
wherever presented, und Is regarded
as one of the hits of the season.
"The Millionaire Detective," will .be
seen next week at the Bijou. This man
of many mysteries will fascinate, thrill
and surprise you Into unexpected
laughter, ’a man of dual personality
that will defy detection.
It has been said "there Is nothing
neiv under tho sun.” "The Millionaire
Detective", will prove the fallacy of this
statement.
Mr. Hall will be accompanied by a
prominent cost of players.
