••••••••••••••ft* Hit
Al H. Wilson. som, deserving more than thepasflng
Th. aon(. of Al H. Wilaon In "Meti
In the Alp.," at the Qrand Wednesday
night, were a» stray blta of sun.hlne
playing truant on a day of cloud* and
darknesa.
The “golden voiced" one ha. lo»t
none of his power to please. Ilia rich,
clear voice still lings true as a bell, and
his rendition of the old "Fnderland"
eonga aent many of those who heard
him across the ocean and back to the
land of their tathora. Mr. Wilson Is
not stingy with his singing, and he had
to answer repeated encores, twice hav
ing to make curtain speeches.
With all Ids singing and with his
pleasing Gennan dialect, Mr. Wilson
was not aole to bridge over the poor
work of his support, nor the unnatural
plot and awkward llnea of his play.
There were several pretty scenes to
be sure, and the play may have been
constructed largely as-a medium for the
aonga of Mr. Wilton, but these cannot
atone for the suffering endured while
Mr. Wilson was changing Ids costume,
nor for aotne of the hopeless pussies of
the plot.
Little Reenle Farrington as the “Lit
tle Deutcher" was really an Alpine blos-
notlce here given.
J. D. O.
Bsldwin-Melvilt. Stock Company.
What la said to be the greatest drama
of the South ever written, “Louisiana,"
will be given Its first presentation In
Atlanta Thursday night by the Bald-
wln-MelvIlle 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 Mias Val.l do Vernon,
and some new members of the caat
who have just arrived will make their
first appearance before an Atlanta au
dience at the drat, performance. The
special scenery painted especially for
this production will be used and the
stage settings will be handsome. The
advance sale for the opening perform
ance-lias been large nnd It Is firmly
believed this will be one of the hits of
the Baldwln-Melvllle season In Atlanta.
"Louisiana" will be given Thuraday,
Friday and Saturday nights, with mat
inees Friday and Saturday.
‘‘Tha Ona Woman.”
"I mat Thomai Dixon, Jr., quite by
accident some ten years ago," said E.
E. Rose, the play producer, as he sat
watching the Initial performance of
"The One Woman" at Norfolk, the oth
er evening. "I was down at tho Acad
emy of Music one Sunday morning
looking over some of the scenery of
one of the Frohman pieces, and while
up In the fly gallery one of the scenic
artists said:
‘"Thera Is a preacher holding forth
down stairs on the stage.' 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 a soft Southern accent
and was speaking to a showman's de
light, a packed houee. The keynote of
his power seemed to be Ills absolute
earnestness.
"After listening for some time
walked down to the stage and there
Immigration
got*my first near view of Thomas
Dixon. After he had finished 1 spoke
to him and found he was quite as much
Interested In the stage os I was. I told
him 1 thought he would make a great
actor, but ha said he had no desire to
act—Ills aim was to write the great
American play."
Many people are of the opinion that
Mr. Dixon has succeeded and that his
"Ths one Woman," which will be seen
at the Grand Friday and Saturday
nights and Saturday matinee, hus
much foundation to that claim. The
play has been enthusiastically received
wherover presented, and Is regarded
us one of the hits of the season.

At the Bijou.
Another large audience was present
Wednesday night at the Bijou to eec
Harry J’lrst and Ills company In Chas.
II Blaney's melodrama, “Old Isaacs
From the Bowery.” Musical comedy
has been the order of things lately at
this house Bnd lovers of melodrama
were getting Impatient for a go at their
favorite form of amusement. It Is lit
tle wonder that patrons of the Bijou
were delighted when It was announced
that a Hlaney* production would hold
the boards of tne Bijou this week. Their
appreciation of the booking Is seen in
the large audiences that have witnessed
every performance so rar and the Indi
cations for the balance of the week are
equally bright.
This attraction will remain at the
Bijou for the entire week, with mati
nees on Thuraday nnd Saturday after
noons at the usual hour.
“The Millionaire Detective.”
—•*4 Hail in th* detective play,
"The Millionaire Detective,” will ba
seen next week at the Bijou. This man
of many mysteries will fascinate, thrill
and surprise you Into unexpected
luughter, a man of dual personality
that will defy detection.
It has been said “there Is nothing
new under the eun." "The Millionaire
Detective” will prove the fallacy of this
statement.
Mr. Hall will be accompanied by a
prominent cast of players.
