1.-THE TURNING POINT


 At Jackson's Theatre this evening and again tomorrow matinee ana night our theatregoers are to De or Gered the first glimpse of MT: Jay l.. Packard's production of Preston Gib- sons Southern romantic comedy drama, 'eThe Turning Point The ed atithe Haokett theatre, New York, last spring and was the cause or con siderable favorable comment during it's run, ,a mainly on ,. account u;nE or +bae 5af : MT. Gibson has infused into the play lis story is well told and up to date, not overdrawn in any sense while the whole atmosphere of the play Is or a most pleasant nature all the way through. Tn drafting and bullolng his stage story, MT. Gibson chose for the locale his old home .oust1de or Alexandria, Virginia. Here Brent adyerses has been obliged to sell the historic home of his ancestors to New York capitalist. Coal in album dance has been found on the property unknown to Breckenridge, and Fer guson the capitalist has formed Company to mine it. In getting the capital for this venture and gaining a roadway from the property to the railroad yards hinges the action of the story this clever writer has built his play on. Of course the antics Of lit tIeT Dan Cupid can't be overlooked in a story of. today, and he shines very brightly in bringing the New York n6lTGSS gether through the latter's expert horsemanships in Fescuing her from being dashed to instant death. when her horse bolted with her. As true smoothly there are naturally many complications in this particular case of more than ordinary passing in terest, but naturally harmony has won the day at the fall of the final cur tain and the auditor wends horneward with the pleasant feeling of having witnessed an exceptionally interesting stage story well told and worked out This is the first time that s'The Turn ing Point' has ever been produced at the scale of prices prevailing for. the current engagement The seats have been selling very rapidly for all per formances and large attendances are assured.
 ROBERT EDISON IN WHERE
 THE TRAIL DIVIDES"
 Actors as a rule do not care for double work with very little parts but Joseph Rawley who will be seen at Jackson's theatre on Friday and Saturday evening and Saturday mati- nee with Robert Edeson in ffWhere the Trail Divides is an exception to this rule as he is highly pleased with the two characters he will enact in Mir. Edesops new play. Mir. RaWley will play respectively a drunken cow boy and minister performing mar riage ceremony. Types Dnore widely different can scarcely be ina agfned and the two roles demonstrate re- markedly well the difficult things re- quired of an actor nowadays. From intoxication to sanctification is rather d hard leap to make inside of any hour yet MT. Ra-Wley accompl1shes this well and is equally effective as the roystering COW puncher with a fondness for the flowing bowl and as the serious sedate minister of the gospel. This is his second seaon with MT. Edeson as he played with the star in ssThe Call of the North in which MT. Edeson starred season be- fore last. Seats are now on sale for the entire engag cement.
