"How do you account for Us re

"Th' temptation of your glorious
American dishes was too much. Your

divine."
"How do you like your oysters?"
"Haw, raw, raw!" laughed Miss
Tempest, Indicating that she has been

'Charlotte Tuesday Night, Winning
Two Firt Falls.
John Drake of Asheville came Into
additional honors as a wrestler when
he defeated Albert Madino, an Italian
artist. In tho first two -rounds Tuesday
night at Charlotte, says the Charlotte
Observer. The first half waa eqcured
by Drake In Jt minutes and h re

The contest waa In some degree more
tpectacular than that a few nlghta ago
between Drake and Edwards, for the
reason that both wrestlers worked
iiarder and more consistently, with
less tlme-kllllng and more agility, In
all of their movements, ,
Drake was ag-aln bested In weight.

AMUSEMENTS
George V. Wilson, Clever Character
Actor, with "The Servant In the
House." Tomorrow Nlht.
No other living actor has played as
many stage characters as George W.
Wilson, who will soon be seen here in
his remarkable portrayal of the Bish
op of Ijincuster In "The Servant In the
House," at the Grand tomorrow night.
Wilson was for sixteen years a mem
ber of the famous old rioston Museum,
during which lime he appeared In
more than six hundred different roles
and created over a hundred new char
acters. For five years prior to his
engagement with the Roslon Museum
he waa a member of the old Boston
Theater company and supported every

foreign and American star whose
name was known to fame thirty years!
ago. It Is an interesting fact that,
Wilson was the original Admiral Slrj
Joseph Porter, K. C. H., In the first
American production of Gilbert and j
Rulllvan's "Pinafore." When Charles
Hoyt's nrst success, "A Tin Soldier,"1
was produced, Wilson and James T.
Powers appeared aa co-stars In the
comedy that ma4le the farce-writer
famous. Wilson afterwards alternated
with Denman Thompson as the star
of 'The O'd Homestead," and waa for
three seasons the star of the George
W. Wilson company. His greatest
character delineation In the estima
tion of the majority of critics was his
famous Impersonation of King luls
XI. In ''If t Were King," with K. H.
Rothern. He made the character of
the King stand ottt with predominat
ing vividness In that production and
received quite as much attention from
the critics for his flawless portrayal
of the role as was bestowed upon
Bothern's Francois Villon. When El
eanor Robson first appeared In the
tltlo role of "Salomy Jane" Wilson
took the all-Important character of
Colonel Starhottle, who gives the
dramatisation of Brete Harte's story
practically all of Ita comedy values.
His success was Instantaneous and un
qualified. In the southern states his
broad caricature of the old school
southern gentleman was keenly ap
preciated and southern critics humor
ously complained that Wilson's stage
picture was, as the Washington Post
expressed It. "too diabolically clever.''
In his present role, which he has play
ed for e year and a half, Wilson ex
