QUEEN'S THEATRE.

"Turn to the Right," the latest Metro-Hex Ingram production, which commences at the Queen's Theatre today, is in the class of the greatest plaj;s. There is in it as fine a theme as life has to provide, and the peoplo who make the drama are real people like those you know and live with; first, Ma Bascom, who puts the lamp in tho window for her boy every night for years; whose courage, when she is about to be cheated of her home, is so telling because she hides the pain of her loss. And the character of Joe Bascom, her erring son, is no less human. The task of producing this story was entrusted to Rex Ingram, who selected tho cast from his previous great successes, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and "The Prisoner of Zenda." They include Alice Terry and Edward Connelly, For Joo Bascom he selected Jack Mulhall. Harry Myers and George Cooper were selected for the roles of Muggs and Gillie. Lydia Knott enacts the role of Ma Bascom. Others in the cast are Margaret Loomis and Eric Mayne. An appropriate prologue- by Mr. H. B. Wilson, baritone, and Miss Phyll Norris, mezzo-soprano, both of the Merry Magpies Concert Party, introduces the picture, in which the two leading characters of tho play are portrayed. Beautiful lighting is a feature of the scena. A clever Century comedy and the latest Paramount Gazette and International News complete the programme. A specially-selected programme of incidental music will bo rendered by the Queen's Grand Orchestra of eleven instrumentalists, under the direction of Mr. A. H. Jerome. The box plan is at The Bristol.
