ADJUSTMENTS.

AL H. Wilson, the German dialect
comedian, comes to the Grand on Satur-
day night, April 15, when he will be
seen as the central character in the
new singing comedy "A German
Prince" which has the distinction OF
being the best Wilson play so far pro-
duced. During the unfolding of the
story the audience travels with Mr..
Wilson-who portrays the character of
empire-through an interesting coun-
try, the land of the Rhine and Austrian
Tyrol. At the opening of the PERFORM
ance the prince is discovered as the
center of attraction among party of
touring Americans to whom he relates
the folk lore of Germany in his quaint
Dutch accent and for whom he sings
several tuneful love songs. He has lost
none of his old-time mellowness of
voice, and as the plot of this Wilson
offering is to a certain extent woven
around the songs, they are naturally
introduced to gain double effect from
their setting.
