The story of Turn to the Right the reigning comedy success which Win chell Smith and John L. Golden will present at the Davis theatre Tuesday evening, Get. 2. with the original Gaiety theatre. New York. production oeals with the regeneration of two nimble witted crooks through the in huence of a saintly old lady. and her rescue from the hands of a grasping money-lender by the nimble- witted pair.
 The two, crooks. Maegsi and Ci1y, are pals of young Bascom, the erring son of the old lady. and they appear at the Bascom homestead direct from a stretch in Sing Sing. With bumper crop of peaches about to rot on the trees the trio set forth to con vert the fruit into cash via the jam route, the recipe for the jam having won a reputation for Mrs. Bascom throughout the countryside. All this they accomplish after a dip into high finance with Deacon Tillinger, the town Shylock. who was about to seize the farm for debt, on the losing end of scheme that only a slick pick pocket and daring safe burglar could execute.
 The reformation of Joe Bascom and his pals in complete and sincere and everybody in the audience is glad to see them turn to the right" and fol- low the road to happiness and success.

Breed Theatre.


 For the first time in the annals of photoplay, moving picture audiences are offered a film telling a fascinat- ing and interesting story every foot of which is made on Alaskan soil. The life of adventure which the two pals lead takes them through wild forests abounding in beautiful mountain streams. up the steep snow clad slopes of giant summits. over the tops of CO., cossal glaciers. and into a real fight in a typical northwest dance hall.
 The Girl Alaska is indeed a unique picture. Each scene as it unfolds it. self discloses a new thrill in scenic beauty. The difdculties encountered Tn the photograp phing of this unusual picture were stUperdous. but all the cars exercised and the pains taken in it's preparation are well compen- sated by the marvellous beauty of the finished product. The Girl Alaska will be the attraction at the Breed the atre today and Tuesday and everyone who sees it will have something to talk about for weeks and months to come.
 Taylor Holmes will also be seen in Taxi a dashing. fast moving comedy drama and the Pathe News will com plete the bill.
