How can people keep on saying that
II Is tho story that counts when they
sec pictures like "Turn to the Right"
winch opened at the Lyric Theater last
night The story in this has bccn done
hundred times. and yet Rex Ingram,
assisted by an unusually fine lot of
actors, has made a delightful picture.
II were producer should give
nearly all of my money to director
and the rest to the actors and let the
story take care Of itself, or let them
take care of it for me. Probably every
one has seen the John Golden play,
which Winchcll Smith and John Haz-
zard did (for it ran for more than n
year in New York and also in Chicago)
so they know the story of the country
boy who went to the city and just when
fortune began to smile on him was
sent TO Sing Sing on a trumped-up
charge; and then how he went ba TX
home and saved the old farm and made
a fortune out of the peach crop. Moth
ing is missing in this play.
Rex Ingram has put all this on the
screen with his usual artistry. The pic
turc abounds in beauty, but probably
the most beautiful thing Of all is Alice
Terry, who plays Elsie Tillinger, the
girl who helps the hero to turn to the
right.
Jack Mulhall gives by far the best
performance he ever has given as Joe
Bascom. 1t is nawless. George Cooper
as Muggs, later MIR. Mccarthy and Harry
Myers as Gilly, later Mr.. Gilbert, also
DO splendid work. and then there is
Lydia Knott as the sweet old mother,
and Edward Connolly as the rascally
old Deacon Tillingcr. giving perfect
performances. SO Mr.. Ingram has
much to be thankful for. We hope he is
Gully appreCiatlve.
