JACK WILSON HEADS GRAND BILL.
With Jack Wilson to headline the bill
and six other actual real features on the
program there is every reason to predict
that this is 10 be busy week at the
Grand. Keith vaudeville has lost none OF
its magnetism, there Is more interest IN
this style of entertainment than has been
evidenced in long time and because OF
the great increase in seating capacity
the Grand has accommodated more peo-
pie in its half season than could be taken
care of in a full season in nearly any
other local theater-
He is a fun-maker with a method, ana
his method is unlike the average run OF
system that is followed by other laugh
makers. Aside from his ability TO brlnS
about fun from the acts that precede
him on a bill he is conceded to be one
of the best parody singers in vaudeville;
He will be supported by Ada Lane and
Era nltlvn Reatie both Of whom are as
clever as the star in their respective lines
Rush Ling Toy, the famous Chinese IL
lusionist, will be another Of the big tea-
lures that will make the bill worth Whlle.
The Four CliftOns is a splendid feature
act the Five Musical Lassies in a mu-
steal turn, Maud Muller and Ed Stanley
in comedy, a sketch called Just Half
Way" and other numbers make up the
bill
"AROUND THE CLOCK" IN TABLOID.
Around the Clock" will be the bill at
the Forsyth this week, and The Macon
News says it Is good show. rms Is
what the Macon critic thought:
" 1t is to laugh is an oft-uSed express
sion which a present day comedian, and
a very worthy one at that, claimed TO
have coined. But let it not be to his
discredit to say, that the expression was
probably used generally when his grand =
mother was a little girl; nevertheless 1t is
a very convenient phrase to be associated
with a real comedy, such as Around the
Clock is known to be. Laugh a little,
hum little, love a little can you i'm
agine anything more to your liking? 1t
is now at the Grand theater, all this
week, three performances daily.
1.-THE NEWLYWEDS" AT THE LYRIC.
The Newlyweds and Their Baby a
musical comedy built around group OF
cartoon characters familiar to every news
paper reader. comes to the Lyric tonight,
where ii will be seen for the entire week:
This attraction serves once more to call
attention to the achievement Of an ar
fist. The chief figures in the play that
has been made are Mr.. and Mrs. Newly
wed, Napoleon Newlywed. the baby, and
the big black bear The story is fan
tastic, but the complications are said to be
so numerous and Comical that an enter
tainment of the iolliest kind results.
The company which has been enga ged
TO illustrate this lively story on the stage
includes many familiar and popular per-
formers.
