FOUR 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 Grand, matinee and evening, Decem ber 4. Primrose and Wilsen Minitrels’ Spe cial Saturday Matinee. George Primrose and Genr e Wilson (•'Waltz Me Around"), formerly of Bir low, Wilson. Primrose and West, hove joined hands again tl*ls season after a separation of 20 years, und are pre senting a big spectacular production of twentieth century minstrels. Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and West set a standard of excellence In this eminently distinctive American form of entertainment that has ever been the goal of minstrel producers. Their names have endured time, and today this famous combination of yester years Is affectionately referred to by theatergoers of a decade ago. The announcement that George Primrose (he is of the velvet feet) and George ("Walt* Me Again”) Wilson, the surviving members of the farqjAis Barlow. Wilson, Primrose and West show, will appear as eo-stnrs will be received by many with satisfaction. They will be supported by a cqmpony of 50 singers, dancers, instrumental ists and comedlanß. Their scenic pro duction Is said to be the most elabo rate aver seen with a similar organic tlon. The Primrose and Wilson minstrels ► j( Is&XwiSk 4 HMsl&ifljsk...
