 other plays with catchy titles and many people thought that Turn to the
 Right meant something like these; but it doesn't; it's different, as you'll find
 out when you. see the play, for it gets it's title from the influence of flor the right that Joe Bascoms mother exerts upon her son and his friends.
 | In brief the idea is this
 Joe Bascom left the old farm to seek his fortune and regularly sent money to his mother on the old farm until one day he was arrested for theft. and unable to account for his actions during

 The play opens with Joes release from Sing Sing and his meeting with two 1 former prison pals, "Dynamite' Gilly, l a bank safe robber and Slippery"

 Brmingham's theatrical season at the

 The phenomenal run of the play in
 New York and later in Chicago was the
 talk of the theatrical profession last year and with the coming to Birmingham of this play, which Is brimful of whole some advice and lesson to be learned from the marvellous mother-love of an
 old fashioned beautiful type of mother hood no more enjoyable comedy could
 be wished for.
 The members of the Drama league es- pecially. will recall the very charming programme which Mrs. w D. smith, president of the Birmingham center, planned q year or more ago when she invited a number of the prominent mem bers of the club to tell the others of the best plays they had seen in New York; among them Turn to the Right was chosen and the very delightful and graceful manner in which it was intro
 duced to Birmingham audience by one of the cleverest and most charming l young bachelors in this community in spired many of his auditors with a keen desire to see the play and enjoy 1t as
 he had. l Many have asked how the play got its
 name, Turn to the Right" and l must l say I was rather curious to know. too.
