Joe is sure: He will not play in Gin

The latest report is that Owner
Frank Farrell of the New York
Yanks is after Tinker to play short
for Frank Chance next season. 1t
would be fine business for Chance,
and would make the Yanks contend
ers, but there is not a chance in the
world for the deal to go through.
Tinker will stay in the National
League.
Shortstops who can bat 800 or
better are almost extinct animals and
the National is not overburdened with
the product.
Tinker and EVers met in the Cub
offices yesterday and snapped some
small talk. John condoled with his
former mate over his dismissal, but
the general opinion is that Joe has
been granted a pardon and released
from long term in solitary.
We are beginning to find out why
the Boston Nationals made such a
grand fight in the National League
last year, finishing at the top of the
second division, when they had been
generally picked to finish eighth.
George StaIIings, of course, is one
reason.
Owner Grayson is the second. He
has instilled into his players the
knowledge that their efforts will be
appreciated and that they will be
given a suitable reward for good
work.
Grayson has written letter to Bill
Sweeney, captain and second base
man of the Braves, who has been
mentioned in previous years as pros
pective manager of the Cincinnati
team. With the firing of Tinker,
Sweeney's name was again linked
with the Red managership.
In his letter Grayson notified
Sweeney that he had permission to
go after the position if he thought it

the players and the club. Men who
know that they will be given a chance
for promotion will work their heads
off in the service of just clubs.
Sweeney has given valuable help to
the Braves, and his spirit made the
Brave inffeld something more than
four individual players.
With such examples set, it is hard
to understand why some club presi-
dents can't see the light.

NatiouaI-BiIIie Burke in "Ths
Land of Promise

Land of Promise"
Billie Burke brings her new play. THE
Land Of Promise" a comedy written
especially for her by w. Somerset
Maugham, to the National Theater this
week.
Maugham is the English playwright
who sprang into such sudden promin-
ence a few years ago when he had four
PLAYS all running at the same time In
first-class London playhouses and All
successes. Charles Frohman brought
three, of the plays to America later ana
gave one of them, Lady Frederick" to
Miss Ethel Barrymore, a second, Jack
Straw" to John Drew, and the third,
Mrs. Dot" to Miss Burke. II was the
second play she did as a star and she
scored a hit in Il. Vaughan came TO
America especially to see her in IL ana
he liked II SO much that he promised to
write another piece expressly Tor her'
And here ii is
The Land of Promise" is different
from any of the other Vaughan come
dies that have been done in this country.
The scenes are laid in Western Canada
The heroine is a young Englishwoman
who has come out to ''the land Of prom
ise' to earn her living. She knows just
about as much about Western Canada as
the average English woman-which Is
nothing at all-and 1t is only her pluck
that carries her through the bitter eX-
periences that furnish the material for
the play. Miss Burke impersonates the
heroine, of course
In the company supporting Miss Burke
are Shelley Hull, Lumsden Hare, Norman

of Plays to Be Produced Here-Biiie Burke
Here in New Vaughan Comedy.

having been carried to the most remote
climes.
Another pleasant feature of the cur
rent week is Charles Frohman's produc-
ton of W. Somerset Maugham's new
comedy, 'HThe Land OF Promise with
charming Billie Burke in the leading
role
Tomorrow nights performance at the
New National Theater will be the prac-
teal premiere of the piece, although
Miss Burke presented IL several times up
in New England last week-perform-
ances which were largely in the way of
dress rehearsals-
THE Land of Promise" was accepted
by Miss Burke on the condition that she
be allowed to play It in America before
any English actress appeared in IL. You
see, she knew Mr.. Vaughan All his
other pieces like Mrs. Dot" Lady
Frederick" Jack Straw" and "Pene-
lope" had run for months in London be-
fore America saw them. When Miss
Burke played Mrs Dot over here COM
ments on her success were inevitably
qualified.
Miss Burke is charming" they'd say,
''but it is really a Tempest part" Or.
81 liked Billie Burke. but she was rather
young-Marie Tempest must have been
ideal"
And, of course, we all know that COM
parisons are more odious to a charming
young actress who is satisted with am
bition than to anybody else on earth.
Well, there will not be any of that sort
of thing in '"rhe Land of Promise" If
Miss Burke is not sent to London by Mr..
Frohman to play the part. whoever does
play it there will have to stand compari-
son with the original performance here,
and no matter how capable the second
actress in a role may be, she usually gets
the worst of it. SO you see there is meth
cd in Miss Burke's insistance that she be
given the first whack at the new
Vaughan comedy.
We are familiar with Mr.. Maugham's S
work. Miss Burke did Mrs. Dot here;
Ethel Barrymore was seen In Lady
Frederick" John Drew appeared as
Jack Straw. and Marie Tempest did
Penelope" They were all entertaining
plays, filed with bright lines, funny SIT

uations, with nothing to excite ones
mind to the point Of insomnia.
When Mr. Maugham started Iout he
didn't write that sort of play at all. His
first long piece was called "A Man OF
Honor" and no London manager would
touch ii with a ten-foot pole Then he
came forward with Lady Frederick,
which was produced at once. After that
managers fell all over each other IN
their effort to see Mr.. Vaughan. who
speedily became the lion Of the day.
AS for his new play. The Land of
Promise which the dramatist wrote for
Miss Burke, il is claimed TO be very diff
ferent from his smart drawtng-room
pieces. Certainly 1t deals with differ
ent sort of people. whose lives are spent
in an environment very foreign to that
OF the dramatist's other plays. The
scenes of the new piece are laid in West
ern Canada-"The Kitchen of Edward
Marsh's Farm at Dyer, Manitoba reads
the program, and Frank Taylor's Shack
at Prentice, Manitoba" Doesn't sound
much like ''The Lounge of the Grand
Babylon Hotel" or Morning Room at
Tayerner, the Parker-Jennings Place in
Cheshire" or Mrs. worthley's Villa on
the Thames" as the programs of some
of his other plays read, does 1t? Nor
is there a duke. nor an earl. nor even a
sir in the list Of characters
The heroine Is a young English woman
who has to earn her own living. and
comes out to "The Land Of Promise for
that purpose. She has some very trying
experiences in Manitoba, but she comes
out on top, for she's heroine, you
know; the piece is a comedy, and the
theme sounds doubly enticing with Miss
Burke's undeniable charm to augment 1t!

lar novel. The Prodigal Judge" has

ter actors, enjoys the distinction accord
