Gertrude Elliott in
1.-THE Dawn of q Tomorrow

The latest demand made upon
the successful playwright by his
public is that he must exploit
ideas. The day when the pretty,
frothy little romance could take
first place in the annals of theat-
rical season seems gone for good.
Miss Gertrude Elliott (Mrs.
orbes-Robertson) comes to the
Tacoma theater Tuesday and We'd
nesday in Mrs. Frances Hodgson
Burnett's play, 1.-THE Dawn of a
Tomorrow, a play that was sug-
gested by one of that authoress'
best stories, which bore the same
title.
Mrs. Burnett has done some
thing more than build romance
from her little story, for she has
inculcated her play with philos-
ophy as far-reaching in its appeal
as was the quaint philosophy of
Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" Though the authoress
has something to say, message
to convey, she has by no means
neglected the principles of the
form of literature in which she is
working, but has provided Miss
Elliott with play that abounds In
powerful dramatic situations, and
all the light and shade necessary
to give the piece a wide appeal
