better fitted to his personality than
any he has had in years. II tells a
story Of life in Holland and later in
America. In the first act Mr.. Wilson is
seen as young man. but during the

gradually growing older. During the
performance he will sing "Yesterday"
Mother Mine" "As Years Roll on" and
a number Of others.
