BILLIE BURKE HERE
IN HER NEW PLAY
Will Be Seen at New National
in Maugham's "The Land
of Promise"

Miss Billie Burke comes TO the Ma
tional Theater this week with her new
play, 1.-The Land of Promise" which
was especially written for her by w
Somerset Vaughan.
THE Land of Promise begins in
England, but in the second scene shifts
to Manitoba, and there the piece is
played out. The heroine is a pretty,
high-spirited young English woman;
who Is a god nurse and who washes
lace beautifully. Armed with these ac-
complishments, she goes out to West
ern Canada to make herself useful to
her brother, a settler on the Manitoba
frontier. Her bitter experiences before
she finds herself and wins her way to
love and happiness provide material
for a strong and virile play. The role
of this heroine is by far the most i'm
portant part that Miss Burke has yet
been given to play, and her numerous
friends amcng local theatergoers are
eager to see her in it.
Miss Burke will give the usual natl
nees on Wednesday and Saturday.
