"TURNING POINT"
 SCORES SUCCESSS
Interesting Play at Jackson's 7 Theatre to Have Final Per
 fOrmance This Evenitg

An audience of good sized propor- lions was in attendance at the presen- tation of Preston Gibson's sparkling comedy drama. "The Turning Point at Jackson's Theatre last evening, and gave the play their undivided and
 most respectful interest. No play of recent years has attra cted the atten- tion of the dramatic, writers as has this, which was successfully produced at the Hackett theatre last season and ran there uninterrupted for over 100 nights. It scintillates with, epigrams and bonmots, and with satires of the types represented by the characters themselves, the characters prate of the value of love and the art. Typi-- cal of polite satires, irony is turned on the philosophy of the play itself. The life of one man; but these are of manhood, of virtue; and of the empti- ness of the smart set. the mockery of money. ttThe Turning Point" is really the point at which Brent Breck- enridge awakens himself, and enters Wall St., and in that becursed place soon becomes it's biggest financier. In cidentally by so doing he saves the happiness of two girls and the life of one man. Though pronounced sa- tire. the story of the piece is absorb ingly interesting and the situations at times are most tense and gripping

Scene In tsThe Turning Point.''
 and kept last nights eager audience a quiver. It is stirring drama, which with a less capable cast than of last evenings, might result in mellow me1odrama. The epigrarns introduced are clever, bright and witty, and are at no time preachy. Yet the few touches of good old nelodrama added red blood, and carried the satire. and lent life and vigor to it. The cast which presented lthe play is an ex- cellent one, in every respect, and while it may not be precisely the ori- gina1 one, it is certainly none the less capable. Harold Vosburg heads the company, in the role of Brent .Breck- enridge and gives that character a most careful and praiseworthy DOT trayaL His enupciation. boise and delivery was excellent. and he gave to the role dash and vigor, rarely seen. Jack Drunier as Frederick Ferguson acquitted himself in a very creditable manner as did George Sim clair in the part of "Rev. Doctor casted in the role of .tAline" and her excellent work gives promise @f a brilliant future upon the dramatic stage. One striking bit of character work was the portrayal by Mary Cunard the dashing young widow, with slang, wit, satire and a lot of good red blood. She put a. life and zest into her work that was refresh ing to her audienceJ The other roles
 were in able hands. The scenic equip ment was sumptuous and magnificent, and particularly 50 was that of the first act, representing a typical Vir- ginian homestead. This play will be ing, and is deserving of capacity a1GiPnca.
