Auditorium Theatre
TOLEDO, o.
TURN TO THE RIGHT"

Announcement that Turn to the
Right" is to be presented at the
Auditorium theatre, Toledo, with
original cast from Cohan's Opera
House, Chicago, has already brouht
flood of mail orders to the box
Office, forecasting heavy out-of-
town trade attendance for this tre-
mendously popular comedy of faith
and fun. The dates are Tuesday
and Wednesday, May 81 and %
with a matinee Wednesday and the
box Office sale will open Saturday,
May 18th. In the meantime orders
by mail will be filled in the order
received when accompanied by re-
mittance to the Auditorium theatre
and self addressed, stamped envel-
opes.
In packing theatres wherever it
has been presented Turn to the
Right" has established itself as the
most popular American comedy
drama since "The Old Homestead.
Like that old favorite, it is a play
of the heart and home in which
tears of sentiment are dispelled by
tears of laughter. The reformation
of three wayward youths through
the Christian influence of an old
fashioned praying mother and their
accumulation of a fortune through
the sale of the old lady's peach jam
form the main threads of the story.
The return of erring Joe Bascom
from prison in the midst of .his
mothers evening pray er, in the first
act, is said to be one of the most
gripping scenes ever introduced to
the stage.
The play will be presented in
Toledo exactly as it ran for a solid
year at the Gaiety theatre, New
York, and nine months at Cohan's
Grand Opera House Chicago and
it is announced Jas the great out
standing event of the season at the
Auditorium.

band, Mrs. Margaret Lane learned that
he was of a certain value she had not
known of before. He Joined the army
and consequently was worth $45 a
month to her and her two children
while alive and $4,000 in case he is
killed.
So Mrs. Lane went into the circuit
court and asked Judge Grimm to set
aside her divorce, saying her husband
had sent a check for $40 from Fort
Leavenworth. Also he did not know
she had obtained q decree.
But not so fast. The courts of Mis-

will have to write full confession to
her husband and have him consent to
the decree being set aside.
