MISS TURNER SCORES GREATEST
SUCCESS.

Miss Turner and her players scored
the greatest success of all their plays
here last evening in the presentation
of The Lady Godiya Or Coventry. In
the character OF Lady Mary Fulton"
Miss Turner did some very clever work,
her big moment in the third act where
she is denounced by her husband and
when the whole world is set against
her, when she exc!aims that she has
sacrificed only her modesty for a noble
purpore, brought forth seven curtain
calls. The weather was so inciement
last night that the patrons OF the local
Opera House did not taken advantage IN
large numbers to see this very clever
little actress and her big company Of
players. The patrons OF the Opera
House should turn out and patronlse
an attraction of such merit as the
present one and it should get the sup
port OF the theatre going public. Every
play presented by Miss Turner has
special scenery and is mounted in az
true fashion as in the large cities.
The cost OF royalty for one nights
performance is usually large for The
Lady Godiva OF Coventry. It is hoped
that those who really enjoy Il meritor-
ious play will take advantage OF seeing
this beautiful production this evening.
