One ol' the 'dramatic treats of the | season will be disclosed to the theatre going public Monday night at the Theatre when Sam H. Harris will present for the first time on any ! stage "Tj'he Turn in the Hoad,” a new comedy by A. E. Thomas. This occasion will take on added in feres' because it will mark Mary Ry a-n’a 'return to the stage after a tetire | r.ront of over a year. Miss Ryan is the featured member of the cast that Mr. Karris has assembled to interpret Mr. Thomas’ play. ih author of “The Turn in the Ho;'*” wili be remembered by theatre devotees as having written “The Rain bow," “Just Suppose” and “The Cham pion”. In his new comedy Mr. Thom as has epitomized an experience that sooner or later befalls everyone. He lies told the story of a woman who comes to a turn in the road of her af fairs, a turn that leads whither she knows not. It is just such a situation that everyone confronts at some time in life, and the playwright has asked and answered the question “What lies jr.it around the corner?”. “The Tiirn in the Road” is neither melodrama or farce: it is a slice of life in play form,' brimming with humor in its exposi tion. ' ■ANY NEW SONGS In Globe Attraction for Three Days. Will Oakland, the celebrated Ameri can contra tenor, who will be seen at the Globe Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday, in the melodramatic comedy, “Their Chief,” will introduce many new songs during the action of the play. A pretty love story, with ro mantic youth as the dominant note, is the basic theme of the play, and the author. Ellen Craig, has woven a won derful vehicle for Mr. Oakland’s debut as a singing star on the legitimate stage. It is a play for everybody. No expense has been snared in making the stage setting worthy of the star and play. A Broadway cast of players will support Mr. Oakland, viz.: James Heenan, Chas. W. King, Crank McNel lis, John Carmody, Fred Griffin, Lou Ripley, Elizabeth Carmody, Billie Bow er, Cecil Summers, Jack West and' E. Loeffler. 'The Easy Road” at Colonial. Gladys George, leading woman for Thomas Meighan in “The Easy Road,” his latest Paramount picture, which comes to the Colonial Theatre for three days next Wednesday, enjoys writing so much that she writes for her own amusement. Miss George has stacks of manuscripts written by herself, but she has never attempted to commer cialize any of her work. The pleasure lies in the writing itself. Coincident with this is the fact that Miss George portrays, in the new picture, the role of a wealthy girl who falls in love with a novelist. “Now what could have suited me better than to fall in love with a novel ist?” asks the pretty leading woman. In the supporting cast are Grace Goodall, Lila Lee, Arthur Carew, Lura Anson and Viroa Daniel. What kind of a wife should a man choose, the pretty little vase flower who holds up her charming head and inspires her husband with sweet glan ces and little vanities, or the practical brainy girl who digs in and helps her husband to fight -his battles and to overcome his obstacles? Sir James M. Barrie makes it quite plain which kind of love is the most enduring, in “What Every Woman Knows,” the new William DeMille Par amount picture which opens at the Virginia theatre tomorrow. The story is laid in England and bcotland and shows how a young poll tician wins fame and success, uncon ?.cj?us the fact ^at his brilliant little wife who types his speeches, is injecting therein the real secret of his popularity. At the height of his ca reer, he falls in love with another wo !’Ut.i.t.he wise wife a,so Proves cqua. to this emergency and handles the case in a manner that brings hap piness and reconciliation.

In “Smilin’ Through”, which will bring Jane Cowl to the Globe Theatre, for three nights starting June 9th, with a Saturday mat., there Is every indication of a new record business for this theatre, the gifted star has an opportunity to show the lighter side of her emotional gifts, for this play of Allan Langdon Martin’s gives Miss Cowl a dual role. It is also a roman tic theme concerning a lovely girl of Irish blood, whose sweetheart goes off to war when the girl’s uncle denounces him. The denunciation is due to a tragedy that occurred many years be fore, involving the uncle’s own ro mance. As this tragedy is enacted, there is a play within a play, and also several remarkable fantasy scenes. Pictorially, “Smilin' Through” is re puted to be exquisite. Sentimentally . it is said to be sufficiently saccharine for any palate. As a love story, with Jane Cowl to Interpret it with her famed beauty, it is known to be de lightful. The play is further known to be unusual of the several plays which have come from the war stress and trends to some extent on the spir itualistic ideas which have been so much considered since that time. tiiim puce Dance Lovers Go to Garden Pier. ‘'-J\ One ceases to believe that fashion is fickle when one sees its faithfulness to that irresistible pastime, dancing.
