pleasant event, as well as one of
artistic significance, will be the appear
ance St the Grand on Wednesday and
Thursday nights and Thursday matinee
of Al H. Wilson, the clever German dia
lect comedian, in Sidney R. Ellis' new
f )lay of picturesque Switzerland, “Mete
n the Alps/* Mr. Wilson's success In
past seasons Is bis best advertisement
for his present engagement. In the
character of Metz Muller, which Mr.
Wilson portrays In his new play, his
delicate humor Is forceful at all times,
and he grows pathetic when occasion
demands with charming tenderness.
"Met* In the Alps” tells a most In
teresting story, its situations being well
conceived and finely executed. The
scenery Includes some of the hand
somest sets ever painted, making a
gorgeous background to the beautiful
wardrobes.
The company supporting Mr. Wilson
Includes many names well and favor
ably known, and each Individual has
been selected with a knowledge of his
or her fitness for the part assigned.
' Mr. Wilson sings the following six
new songs during the action of the
play, “My Heaven Is In Your Eyes/*
“Wilson’s Lullaby/’ “Swiss Mountain
Bird Yodel,” “Songs of Old Father-
land/’ “Whispering Breeze” and "Snlt-
alebank.”
“The One Woman.”
Austin Webb, who will be remem
bered as the actor who played the part
of Silas Lynch, the negro lieutenant
governor of South Carolina In “The
Clansman,” last year, Is a member of
“The One Woman” company. He was
chosen by Mr. Dixon to create the part
of Mark Overman, the banker, In this
newest Dixon play. Mr. Webb had
many exciting times last season, espe
cially In Mobile, where he was com
pelled to wear a bullet-proof coat, hav
ing received warning that he would be
shot on sight. Special officers traced
the warning later to W. F. Gray, a mer
chant. who was later arreated on trying
to enter the theater with a large re
volver In his belt. In the new play
the part for which Mr. Webb Is cast Is
quite ns difficult as Silas Lynch, and
he has made a great Impression as the
treasurer pf the Brotherhood of Man.

sonal direction of Thomas Dixon, the
company will present "’The One Wom
an" at the Grand Friday and Saturday

the patrons of the Bijou, at which the
new play will receive ita Initial pre
sentation tonight.
“Old Isaacs From the Bowery:’ Is a
comedy-drama In four acts and ten
scenes. Mr. Blaney has certainly held
close to realism In handling the epi
sode that poor old Isaacs went through
In the days of the old Installment
man’s fame on the Bowery, even to the
point of engaging Old Isaacs* own son
to play the part of hie father. For
It Is really Harry Isaacs, professionally
