At The Grand
Al. H. Wilton,
"Now tor the Dutch” la how that
merry German dialect comedian, Al.
H. Wilson, announces his appearance
at the Grand early next month In a
revival of his picturesque song
adorned comedy, "When Old New
was Dutch,” and those who love stood,
clean wholesome, entertainment may
prepare for a down right enjoyable
time.
The story of those olden days In the
metropolis Is overflowing with diversi
fied novelty throughout, and those who
have laughed at Mr. Wlleon's unctloua
humor and listened to his sweet songß
In the past can well Imagine how en
tertaining hie performanee must bo
when the best romantle play of ills
career is now being presented. Mr.
Wilson as Metz von Frioburg, an ad
venturous young German, who sudden
ly finds himself embroiled In a feud
between the English and Dutch when
In search of his young wife, from whom
he was separated In childhood, brings
Into play that dashing, rollicking,
devil-may-care personality for which
he is noted, and when during the ac
tion he sings a number of a new me
lodious songs his charm Is lrreslst
able.
The new songs are entitled, ‘When
1 First Met You,” "When the Roses
In Spring Bloom Again,” "Moon, Moon.
Moon” and "Mr. Bear.”
“The Trsil of the Lonesome Pins.”
This new pley of Eugene Walter’s,
“The Trail of the lonesome Pine,” Is
one of the strongest this young dram
atist has written, and while following
closely the characters of John Fog,
Jr.'s, wldely-rend book, he has suc
ceeded In presenting all of them In a
more vivid light. Of course the vis
ualisation of June and her kinfolk lias
been made all the more perrert by the
splendid production made of the play,
the story being truly set off in as
elaborate a atnge dress as was ever
dons with a drama. It waxes wonder
fully successful and enjoyed long runs
in Boston. New York and Chicago to
the biggest business of late years
The opinion prevails that everywhere
and always first advances are made by
the men, the women being pasaive ami
coyly reserved hut many who have
held to the belief will think otherwise
after they hear Eleanor Montell In
the role of June tell Jack Male that
•'I want fooks to know how mtirh I
care for you, Just like 1 want you to
know yourselff.”
The great play will apner at tho
