For nine months Miss Bert played her present part at George M. Cohan's Grand Opera-House, having been chosen from dozens of applicants when Win chell Smith and John L. Golden or ganized a special company for the Chicago engagement in December of last year. Previously- Miss Bert was seen as the delightful Miss Prltchard In "Daddy Long-Legs" and as the mother In "Ben Hur." She is distinguished not only for her dignified stage presence, but also for her silvery sweet voice. When a young girl she was often advi-ed to leave the dramatic profes sion for the opera stage,, but even then she was confident that some day her "lyrlo voice" would stand her in good stead when she was playing old ladles. The prediction came true and that same voice now brings many a tear when Ma Bascom, the silver-haired woman, pronounces a ocnedictlon upon her errant and long-absent son In "Turn to the Right !" While she was playing tie role with the New York company last Winter in the absence of Ruth Chester, a new assistant'stage manager made the criti cism that Miss Bert's wig was not as convincing as the one worn by Miss Chester. There was a titter from those within hearing and It was gently ex plained that Miss Bert's "wig" was her own beautiful white hair. Another Important personage in the company Is Phillip Bishop, who ap pears in the role of Sam, a country bumpkin. One of the important scenes in the play Is that In which Sam ex plains how the peaches in Ma Bascom's orchard would make a fortune if con verted Into the toothsome preserve and sold through a New York wholesale grocer. Sam glibly rattles off the number of peaches on a tree, the num ber of trees to the acre, the amount of Jam they would make, ttie cost and the profit, while the audience howls with laughter over his enthusiasm. The engagement of "Turn to the Right" opens tonight and will con tinue for three nights, with a matinee on Saturday. Compajtt Mascot Given Home.
