EVEN BETTER THA
Popular Comedy Success " Skidding"
Here at Canadian Chautauqua
SCENE FROM SKIDDING
INSERT—MISS WINNIFRED PARKER
Skidding is a fresh, sincere picture of American family life, showing Marion Hardy, a modern college girl
who falls ecstatically in love with Wayne Trenton just as a career is opening up to her, and the difficulties she
has in adjusting her romance. Then there are the pretty young daughters who chose to marry before they finished
their education and want to "Come home to Mother" at the first sign of trouble. Mother Hardy is so upset at
the modern tendencies of her daughters, that she goes on strike in order to straighten. out her family. Young
Andy Hardy is an adorable adolescent lad:with his first "case"—a typical Booth Tarkington. part. He keeps the
audience in a gale of merriment with his humorous observances, his reminiscences about: Grandma; and the -white
satin slippers he makes for Marion to be married in, have a great deal to do with straightening out her lo-ve affair.
Although Skidding is hilariously amusing, it tells many an underlying truth which all audiences are bound to
relish. Humor is blended with pathos and a deliciously garnished philosophy makes Skidding more significant
than the average comedy. It is life. Awarded the Drama League prize. Produced at the Pasadena Community
Playhouse, where it broke all box office records because of its humor and popular human appeal, and ran for a
continuous year on Broadway,
Chautauqua audiences in Eastern Canada will welcome the return of Winnifred Parker, lovely young
dramatic star of "Smilin' Thru" two seasons ago.

• SCENE FROM "TURN TO THE RIGHT"
II•ISERTS -JEAN CAMPBELL AND DON ABBITRY
Lovers of good, wholesome laughter and genuine sentiment will be pleased when they see "Turn to the Right"
—a charming love story with tense touches of the dramatic.
It is the story of a boy who was sent to prison falsely, but when released determines to l'Irurn to the Eight"
and fights against great odds, not only to clear himself of the stain, but to save his dear old mother from
heartbreak, and to win for himself the girl he has always loved. .
It was first produced in New York, where it captivated the aides and audiences, winning much praise
from all sources resulting in a marvelous record run of two years, .
Canadian Chautauqua has been particularly fortunate in its choice of dramatic artists this sta,son. Don
Arbury and Jean Campbell are playing stellar roles in this popul.ar 'Broadway play.
It is a lovely story with a wealth of human appeal, and draws to a happy and humorous conclusion,
