The following is what some of the leading i Now England papers have to say I about the play and the players: Telegraph—New London, Conn: “‘At Cozy Corners’ is one of those plays that capture the affections of the audience, making its auditors feel as if they were indeed at Cozy Corners and the players were neigh bors who were merely working out one of the stories of its life. Miss Thurston was lovable in the part of Avis Merrill and can count each person in the audience an ad miring friend after last night. She is fortunate in being surrounded by a company all admirably fitted to the parts they portray.” Item—Allentown, Pa : “The audi ence lust evening was handsomely entertained and departed highly pleased. They saw one of the most charming little actresses of today in anew drama. In‘At Cozy Corners’ Miss Adelaide Thurston has a splen did vehicle for the portrayal of her individual gifts. Its story is pure and wholesome and hinges about dom estic misunderstandings not due how ever, to immorality or infidelity. The drama was prettily staged as to scenery and costuming and was given complete in every detail.” Miss Adelaide Thurston “At Cozy Corners” will fill her engagement in this city tonight two weeks. This should be a record-breaker so far as attendance is concerned. Local Cotton Market.
