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. i | Seats ‘go on sale nt the Grand box I: office on Friday morning for the en- Of the right sort will be beneficial to the state.

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.
