Burning Love Story
Holds Lyric Boards.

There are times when a little love
is a dangerous thing, and when too
much of the erotic fire becomes a
veritable mine of dynamite. All sorts
Of interesting things are likely to
happen.
With this in their minds, a large
crowd trooped to the Lyric Theater
last night to witness the opening per-
Torrance of lone Day" the play from
Elinor Glyns novel which was ad-
vertised a THE Greatest Love Story
Ever Written"
And what they saw was a love
story. true enough, but handled so
discreetly as to be comfortably enter
tanning And well acted.
True. no man nor playwright can
quell the flame of love, and the fire
burns brightly in Act ", Scene l.
But the stage manager laughs at what
is beyond the powers of mere man,
and a curtain, lowered for an inter
mission of one minute, solves the
problem.
Victor Switzerland is a very ac-
ceptable crown prince, and Miss Fay
Cusick, playing his beloved, is good,
except that she is temperamentally
too mild to play the part of a passion
ate Creole.
"One Day" will be at the Lyric all
the week, with matinees Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday.

Al WILSON AND
GOLDEN VOICE
STILL PLEASE
German Comedian PIeases Admir-
ers in Made-to-0rder Play
at Atlanta Theater.
BY TARLEToN COLLIER.

1t is a great thing to be hero with
golden voice and a magnificent
presence and an ingenious little
laugh, and to have an entire show
written so that you will have an OPP
portunity or two to MARBLE your love
to your lady, and to be master of the
situation generally. In such a cir
cumstance there are always scores of
ladies to split their white gloves
a-clapping for you, and there is that
ubiquitous and unfailing adjective
cute" as your reward, as in the case
OF Al Wilson, at the Atlanta last
night.
But here and there in your audience
Is always person to wonder why one
man should be so infallible a hero,
and what the show is all about and
why the situations are written so OBJ
viously and patiently to allow the
gentleman with the golden voice and
the winsome laugh to be the Romeo
and the bouncer by turns, even giving
him the opportunity to strum an air
or two on the piano.
But then. this agnostic- minded ele-
ment was small, indeed, at Al Will
sons show last night, it seemed. A
most loyal assembly was gathered
there to greet the singer in his new
show, "A Rolling Stone" in which he
Is depicted as a rather fetching vaga-
bond who marries a great lady whom
he had known for less time than it
would take to wheedle a drink out Of
male stranger.
Mr.. Wilson is an excellent comedian
as well as naive Romeo. He is aid
ed with the funmaking of Lizzie VIII
son and Harry West, who. like him,
are adept maHipulators of a German
dialect. But Al Wilson's most effect
i've aid in the show is a kindergarten
chorus of six girls of years so tender
that we're they off the stage they
would be just toddling out of the care
of nurses. They, too, were cute" the
audience said, quite openly
Altogether, the show won a warm
hand. Al Wilson is the hero of a con-
siderable following in Atlanta.

Character Sketch
Feature at FORSYTH.

Two acts, one of them of really eX-
ceptional merit, save the weeks show
at the Forsyth from becoming hum
drum. The first is the sketch of Hugh
Herbert, Thomas Herbert and Mar
garet Williams. called THE Son of
Solomon" For clever character work
and for much fun intermingled with
heart-throbs, the act is one Of the
best of vaudeville performances. It is
the story of an attractive. simple
minded old Jew, and his loyal daugh-
ter and his hayward son. Hugh Her
bert does great things with the char
acter of the old man.
The second act is that of an old ia
vorite, Eddie Girard, who, with Jessie
Gardner, have sketch in two scenes
Girard finds opportunity to put on the
monkey Characterization that made
him famous.
The remainder of the bill is made
up of conventional vaudeville acts.
Henrietta Wilson and company, in a
novelty shooting feature, open the
show The act is that of a young
woman who handles a-rif1e and re-
volver with a skill and accuracy that
a Buffalo Bill would envy. The au-
dience seemed to like the Five Melody
Boys very well, indeed. Eddie Borden
and Irene Shannon very energetic
young man and woman. are billed as
the acme of artistic versatility. James
Thornton, mOnolOgist, is an old ac-
quaintance. Quite a loyal greeting
came for him when he appeared on
the stage yesterday, and in response
he talked agreeablv for some time.
A hard working, capable circus
family Of tumblers. the Carl Dam.
mann troupe have a gymnastic and
acrobatic act with which the bill ends.
