A FINE ATTRACTION NEXT WEEK.
Al. II. Wilson, Golden Voiced Singer,
at the Grand Next Wednesday.

Golden voiced singer AL. n. Wilson,
Metz the celebrated German dialect
comedian, in Robert Sidney's new COM
edy, 1.-THE German Gipsy," will be the
attraction at the Grand Opera House
next Wednesday evening, March 20.
Heretofore this genial actor has ap-
peared in dramas that have had SER
ious touch to the story-so the novelty
of a purely rollicking comedy, which is
promised in "The German Cipsy," will
be rather an innovation. The principal
theme has to do with the loves OF three
women for single man. One admirer
is an intensely passionate gypsy girl, an
other, saucy independent American
young lady, and the other, a widow OF
uncertain age. Each in turn, after rather
exciting experiences believes herself the
most favored, and, in consequence, a
series OF laughable situations arise that
are irresistibly funny. To further
plunge the German gypsy into a worse
fix-for he il is who has the trouble his
uncle, who desperately loves the widow,
misinterprets his nephew's frantic en-
deavor to be rid Of her for declaration
Of marriage, and in his rage turns him
from the door and thus compels him to
again resume his old gypsy life. But
everything turns out happily in the end,
however, and the German gypsy is en-
abled by fortunate circumstance to
prove that he only desires the love of
one woman, and she is the one who
loves him.
Mr.. Wilson has budget of new songs
to enchant the senses and they are all Of
the whistling type. The list is as fol-
lows: "Under the Harvest Moon" mo
Love Like Thine," "Gretchen," "My
German Rose" "The Love Trust"
"The Girl For Me-" "Katie Krause,"
and "The Rocky Road to Dublin" Sc
