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. Immigration "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.
