Clever Young Leading Man of Turn to the Right

wonderful idea of what sort of person
he or she happened to be.
Yesterday, when I met Mr.. Ralph Nor

ing here at the Jefferson, 1 rather wished
was perfectly good dictaphone and
moving picture camera combined, so |
could give my readers an interview
from these machines and not of the old
fashioned Handmade variety: but.
alas I'm neither, and. so 1 must tell
you in my little. simple old-fashioned
way just how this nice young man i'm
pressed me.
In the first place, he is terribly young
and awfully good-looking. AS he sat
vis-a-vis to me and told me lot of
interesting things about himself and his
work on the stage, he reminded me OF
one of those clean-cut, stunning etch-
ihgs of Francis Dodd s-you know the
ones / mean, and I reflected also upon
how he was fashioned upon the rhyth-
mic lines of a "Brushwood Boy',-Mr.
Kipling sand obviously a fit and appro-
! pirate young man to play the part OF
| Joe Bascom in the play, which has
J all the qualities of sweetness, tender
| ness and sympathy which can be found
| in the human heart.
Mr. Morgan is an unusually clever
young actor, with spirit as we'll as in

habit he has of making a trying occa-

he really thinks-which is always jar

to engage for the original production in

Madge Kennedy making the perfectly

man who would fit into any play unless
it happened to be a ''pstols-a nd-coffee-
for-two mellerdrammer,' because he has
temperament, intelligence. talent and
adaptablity.
You see, know all this because I saw
him in New York the first season he
played in Fair and Warmer

Turn to the Right" Mr.. Morgan con-
tinued. MANY people have asked me-;
Isn't it as good as a sermon | al
ways answer that it depends upon how
people take the play. Every play, to
be a good play must have real story
and every story has moral and every
moral is sermon if person wants to
take it that way. of course, it de-
ponds entirely upon the audience. The
story in Turn to the Right" is uni
versal in it's appeal. First, because
every man who has living mother is
touched to the heart by the pathos and
beauty of the situation. I've heard
many a wild young fellow say, after
seeing the play: Gee, | wonder where
my mother Is tonight I've heard
others speak in the tenderest manner
of their mothers Another class will
merely clinch their fists and exclaim
That's bully play; come on, let's
take a drink But they can't get away
from it, none of them, because the
story is there-gracious, appealing,
tender.
when I think of the fearful, un-
wholesome, insincere quality of most
of the plays ground out today Mr..
Morgan said, sit makes me hope that
this terrible worldwar will bring
about a change and revolutionize
things in the theatrical world. l don't
know what the outcome will be, but /
hope it will improve the dramatists.
Mr.. Winchell Smith, who collabor-
ated with Mr.. John Il. Hazard in Turn

doctors in the world" said Mr.. Nor

something to think about and some
thing to enjoy. / speak of him as a
play-doctor rather than as drama
tist, because there is great differ
ence. Few people have ever turned out
play more artistic or more appealing

81 EACH PRICE
Of NIGHT PICKED
MELONS, IS PAID
~-tt - s.

A prominent Imperial county official
who does not want his name men
toned, reports thrilling experience
that befell him, his wife and a party
Of friends last night.
They were out flivvering in the Ca
lexico district and by chance took a
cross-road that brought them in close
proximity to one of the finest water
melon patches in the valley. The old
adage that the presence of thing
creates demand for it has been ver-
flied in this instance, for the flivver
was stopped, the lights were turned
off and the gentlemen members of the
party crept through the barbed wire
entanglemcnts and in due time re-
turned to the road with five az fine
watermelons as one could find in 2
days journey.
They were quietly cQngratulating
themselves on the success of the ven
ture when the farmer came "over the
top" gun in hand 1t seems he had
been in the trench all evening watch
ing for melon thieves. He ordered
"hands up and proceeded to take the
entire party to the county jail.
And just here diplomacy and glib
tongue made new records for them
selves. without batting an eye, the
aforesaid prominent county official
Proceeded to spin fiction after this
fashion:
My dear Mr. Farmer, l am sur
prised at you: You are entirely mis-
taken. eW did not come to steal your
melons. We came to buy them We
planned to take them tonight and pay
you for them tomorrow. Savvy?"
"Oh, l see" said the farmer, "a
sort OF two-day transaction, and yours
truly holding the sack. Well, IT
does not appeal to me This deal
must be consummated right here and
now. Let me see--five melons are
worth $500 when sold in the night
time. Now dig up or we will proceed
to the county calaboose. Someone
please whistle the 'Rogues' March, "
Five hard-earned bones were pro-
duced and handed over, and the farm
er, in his anxiety to get the coin. ac-
cidentlly touched the trigger of his
gun, There was a flash, a deafening
oar and big hole shot in the bosom
Of the night. No one was hurt,
hough one of the party had his hair
inged, the charge going so near his
head.
