Al H. Wilson

Al H. Wilson began an engagement at the Jefferson theatre last night in a romantic song play entitled, "As Years Roll On.' It is somewhat diff ferent from the plays in which. MT. Wilson has appeared here during pre- vious seasons, as it permits him to grow old in the character of a Dutch proprietor of delicatessen stores in New York
 The first act is laid in Holland. where young John Van Fam falls in love with Gretchen Voorhart; is con- scripted for the army and, being made the victim of a trick by his rivalitin love. Capt. Karl Brinker, resists the military authorities and is led to be- lieve he killed an officer in the strug- gle. Van Fam. his sweetheart, his sis- ter and her lover flee to America, where the remaining two acts of the play take place. The paths of Yam Zam and Brinker cross twice in their new home, where both prosper The second time this event occurs the daughter of Van Fam and the son of Brinl1er are discovered to be in love. Brlnker, coming to part the lovers yields to remorse for his former treach- cry, confesses that he deceived Van Zam in telling him that he had com mitted murder and is reconciled to the marriage of his son to young Gretchen Van Fam.
 MT. Wilson is we'll and favorably known to local theatregoers. He has an attractive personality and his songs always give delight to his audiences. His play this year contains the idea for a good romantic drama, but some parts of it are thrown together in such haphazard fashion and characterized by such crudity of workmanship that the result is rather disappointing. The last act affords some opportunities for MT. Wilson to display his talents, but most of the time he and the members of his company struggle along with obvious difficulty.
 MT. Wilson sings several new and tuneful songs in the sympathetic way which has made him immensely pop ular and whenever permitted to do so acts with his usual charm and easy grace. He has good supporting com pany, including Hans J. Fischer, who provided most of the fun as an ec- centric Dutch inventor: Miss Bertine Robinson as Lena Van Zam; Miss Lau- "a Lemmers as Gretchen Voorhart, and, later, as Gretchen Van Fam, and James Moore as Karl Brinker.
 There will be matinee this after noon and a performance tonight.
 At the Lyric
 Today is the big matinee day at the Lyric and as a matinee day Saturday is proving more popular every week. There is good show to be seen and arrangements have been made by the management to handle record break ing crowd. The programme includes George Damerel in that intensely in- teresting presentation, Temptation; ;' Milo, the biggest funmaker that has appeared at the Lyric this season; Bradley and Norris, who as entertain CTS are very near the top of the list; Ford and Ramsey. in some comedy talk, and Van Dorn and company in highly scientific act entitled, "Thermos." ''Twin Beds"
 Selwyn & Co. will make history at the Jefferson theatre by presenting there on Thursday and Friday, mati- nee Friday, Irwin Beds," the laugh festival by Salisburg Field and Mar garet Mayo. The play comes direct from run of 52 weeks, just completed at the Harris theatre. Twin Beds is a clean farce hilariously amusing and with 6 background of social satire and brilliant characterizations. Its situations follow each other With far too much rapiGity for the encouragement of double meaning-it resembles nothing so much, in it's hair-raising fast action, as a rollicking high wind.
