Title: Poster for "Turn to the Right"
Description: Color lithograph poster on paper. The top caption reads: "For fun" and alongside it in larger letters is "Turn to the right." The "i" in Right" is depicted as an eye, rebus style. Further to the right top is: "Produced by Winchell Smith and John L. Golden." Below the title is "The comedy that will live forever," and underneath this is "Entire original cast and production." Below a page line break reads "Winchell Smith and John E. Hazzard authors." The image shows the three former cellmates grouped with arms around one another and casting affectionate looks. The caption at bottom reads: "Pals always -- Muggs, Joe and Gilly."

One of Hazzard's most successful shows, the play ran for 435 performances in its initial run at the Gaiety Theatre. In 1922 it was made into a film, and in 1981 a musical play produced by Buddy Ebsen (which Ronald Reagan promoted tirelessly). The original "pals" were played by William E. Meehan (Mugs), Frank Nelson (Gilly) and Forrest Winant (Joe).
