| hNmOr tnat starts in a smile and
ends in uproarious laughter, and with
tear here and there, are features
of Turn to the Right" which was
presented at The Playhouse last
night, by The Playhouse Associate
Players. To Judge from its recep-
ton by last nights audience, It is
even destined to have more popu-
larity than "Smilin' Through" last
weeks production. At the end of
each act it was necessary for the ac-
tors to respond to curtain calls. An
admiring friends presented Miss
Mary Daniel. who plays the part of
Betty Bascom, with a bouquet of
flowers.
From the time the curtain goes
up on the prologue, interest never
wanes. 1t is Of the quality that is
sure to interest an audience, as is
evidenced by the two years run of
the original company in New York.
Raymond Van Sickle, as Joe Bas-
com is the real hero, although his |
mother. a part taken by Katherine /
Brook, might be classed as a hero /
inc. Joe leaves home as the result (
OF a horsewhipping threatened by ,
old Deacon Tillinger. Joes is a
sutton for the hand of the Deacon's
daughter. Upon arriving in New
York Joe starts out at the Belmont
race track. His first four bets bring
him big money. but after that. like
many other beginners, his luck sud
denly fails. Joe is finally accused
Of stealing $500 belonging to the
owner of a string of race horses.
While II is later brought out that
Joe was innocent. nevertheless he
spent a year in Sing Sing prison.
Joes two companions in trouble
and peace alike furnish much of the
amusement. They are Mugs and
Gilly, parts taken by Mr.. McCor-
mack and George Evans.
After Joe returns home he finds
the Deacon is about to seize his
peach orchards. Through the quick
wit OF himself and his two com
panions. however, everything is
saved. and for the benefit of those
who like romance. there is a mar
riage and three proposals before
the final curtain.
Four OF the original cast company
appear in its presentation at the
Playhouse. They are Pat S. Barrett.
George Evans, Charles Goodrich and
Norris.
All OF the cast take their parts in
most interesting manner. If one
yer had country town as his
birthplace he Is certainly taken back {
o It in Turn to the Right" Dea- /
on Tillinger, played by Mr.. Bar {
EFT, might have stepped from the
ages Of David Harum, his acting is Z
o real and characteristic of the {
mall towns "skln-fllnt." The other {
haracters are equally good.
In response to many requests II a

The stransest Word in Our Lar

The Stransest Word in Dur Lam
ouaoe-It was one of those social al
fairs that you point to with pride ana
view with alarm, and at ten O'Clock
things were dragging dreadfully when
a bright young man saved the situa-
ton by asking: What is the stranges'
word in our language?"
The other guests looked blank untii
he explained: "It is a word or one
SYLLABLE and five letters, four OF them
yowels. While there are five letters
in the word, there are only three ar
ferent letters. And the freakles'
thing about it is that it is pronounced
as a single consonant."
Had he not made that last statement
the guests might have been guessing
vet. But with that to go upon' the
alpbabet was gone slowly over ana
the word finally guessed-"queue' q

RODE In CHARGE OF LIGHT BRIGADE
Interesting Sketch of a Remarkable
Soldier of Fortune Now Living al
Mexico City.

It is an unbecoming way to start a
Glory about n fine old soldier, writes
Herbert Corey from the City OF Mex
leo. 1t is an even more unbecoming
way to begin story about the man
who is perhaps the finest old soldier
considered as an individual-iiVlnS-
today. But am impelled to preface
the tale of General C. Montgomery
Agramonte ninety-three years Old
and still going strong, by the anec-
dote of the two chauffeurs and the
cbivalrous second, which find in the
morning paper.
1.-THE two chauffeurs," runs the
story in brief, decided to fight out
their quarrel with their fists. They
did so at 3 o'clock in the morning, and
the combat was approaching draw
when the man in front of whose house
they were fighting came out with a
heavy blue steel howitzer.
Thrust yourselves into the breeze,
you birds said tho man, before | un-
llmber the jolly old mountain gun

$50 they did. But as they started
to leave one OF the seconds, grieved
that the times had become so deca- =
dent that q quarrel might be settled
| by means of comparatively harmless
fists, shot the other seconds princi-
pal through the breast. When the
police came up he was weltering fast"
The moral of that yarn is that this
is in many respects a conservative
and chanSeless country. There is a
law on the statute books making an
offcnse of the shedding Of blood. The
law does not specify how the blood
is to be shed illegally. a dripping
car is as offensive in the eyes of the
| law as slashcd rib. SO that the To-
gical Mexican, not caring to be pun
ished for a trivial offensc when f"l
the same punishment he can get rea
satisfaction, has always Clumg TO kniii

GOOD CORN YIELD
Negro Farmer Made Average of 35
Bushels to Acre Last Fear.

More than 1900 negro farmers in
North Carolina, Texas and Virginia
who raised 10000 acres of corn last
year under the advice of county
agents employed comparatively by
the Department of Agriculture and
state agricultural college, obtained
average yields OF 35 bushels an acre.
The average for all farms in these
states ranged from II to - bushels
m acre, the department said recently.
In Virginia, nearly 5000 Of the neg
gro demonstrators planted pure seed
and about 1000 selected seed for
their 1922 crop. All these dcmorstra-
ton plats of corn were harvested cX-
ccpt 81 acres, which were "hoSScd
down." 1t is estimated that 20 per
cent. of the negro farmers in Virginia
are following methods of growing corn
taught by extension workers.
