COMING TO THE THEATERS

AlH. Wilson, the German dialect come
dian. comes to the Belasco Theater next
week In his latest success, "a German
Prince" Probably one reason why this
play is appreciated by theatergoers, is
that it is a novel departure from the
style of plays formerly provided for this
comedian. Mr.. Wilson has won an en-
viabIe place in the hearts of the public
by his graceful acting and sweet sing
ing, and for "A German Prince he has
composed several new songs that will RI
val in popularity any Of his past sue
Cesses.
During the unfolding of the story the
audience travels with Mr.. Wilson, who
portrays the character Of an improvish-
ed German prince, through the land Of
the Rhine and the Austrian Tyrol,
where beauty in rugged grandeur meets
the eye at every turn, and where legend
and romance are inseparable. At the
opening Of the performance the prince is
discovered as the center of the attrac-
ton among party Of American tour
ists, to whom he relates the folklore of
Germany, in his quaint Dutch accent,
and for whom he sings several tuneful
love songs.
Mcintyre and Heath, the deans of Amer
lean minstrelsy, in their latest and great
est burnt cork comic success, Waiting
at the Church. will be the center OF
attraction at Chase's next week The
announcement is important not only be-
cause it means the positive presentation
of the famous comedians for the first
time in several years in polite vaude-
Vile, but also for the reason that they
will reappear in the sketch which is
said to be far funnier and cleverer than
anything they have done to make the
public laugh since their career COM
menced. The extra added attraction,
rated as the prettiest musical treat to-
day, will be the graceful and vivaciOus
condolences, known as the Ten Vassar
Girls, who are billed as "en tour in their
musical comedy travelOgue." Third among
the special features will be the popular
extravaganza stars, OBrien, Havel. and
