TURN TO THE RIGHT"
ONE OF BEST PLAYS OF
SEASON AT AUDITORIUM

There have recently been so few
really good shows on the road that
when such a production as Turn TO
the Right comes along it is ever SO
welcome Advance press notices this
time failed to do justice to the ex-
cellence of the offering which APP
peared at the Auditorium Tuesday
night. In most towns the company
has been playing to standing room
only but here in Lakeland there were
other attractions slated for Tuesday
but, despite this, the Auditorium was
well filled. Those who did attenu
were unanimously of the opinion that
they had their moneys worth. Where
all members of the cast fitted i'm so
we'll and did such excellent work. Il
would be difficult to pay special trib-
ute to any one individual but IL there
is any emphasis to be placed on
merit it belongs to Jane Ellison in the
role of Mrs. Hascom, the mother OF
Joe, the devoted mother sweetness
goodness and belief in God and man
kind, forming the keynote of the
whole play. Through her are saved
the young son and mis- two compaL.
ions, all three on the downward path
having served a term in prison but
now determined to take the first turn
to the right. 1t is the sort OF play
htat leaves one something to think
about, clean. bright. appealing and
teaching a worthwhile lesson.

st Augustine, Feb 10.-Back al
work after a three weeks vacation
Presideni-elect Harding today waded
into a vast accumulation of corre-
spondence and other miscellaneous
business that must be cleared away
before he can give serious thought to
his final decisions on the personnel
of the cabinet and other major prob
lens.
The stack of kilograms and letters
will probably occupy all his working
time for the remainder of the week.
Cabinet appointments which are
believed by Mr.. Harding s closest
friends to be definitely settled, are
Charles e. Hughes, secretary OF
state; Harry NJ Daugherty. attorney
general; Will Hays, postmaster gen
eral. and Henry Wallace, of Iowa,
secretary of agriculture 1t is still
realized. however, that there may be
slips between the first of February
and the first of March.
A drive has been started to induce
Mr.. Harding to put southern man
in his cabinet. Senator Slemp. Repub-
lican congressman from Virginia, has
declared it would be fearful mis-
take not to recognize the south with
a suitable portfolio, Senator-elect
Harreld of Oklahoma, has ;elegraphed
the president-elect a strong argument
in favor of a southern mans appoint
ment.
The wife of Congressman Slemp is
being urged for cabinet position by
many southerners. She is said to be
familiar with business and politics
and many declare her appointment
would not only crafty the south but
would be peculiarly graceful as a
recognition of woman as a political
factor.
Mr. Harding deserted his yacht yes
terday at Daytona and came by auto
to st. Augustine He declared he had
enjoyed his vacation immensely, but
could mot further prSloHg sit,zDurins
his vacation he permitted his mail
and kilograms to accumulate, being
determined to enjoy his outing to the
fullest extent.
