| Into quiet Philadelphia suburb a
lively young woman from Chicago can
| inject enough complications and anus
| ing situations to keep theaterful of
people laughing for an entire evening.
Catherine Chisholm Cushing had a
! theme like that in mind when she
| wrote Jerry the comedy in which
Miss Billie Burke will be seen at the
| New National Theater this week. For
Jerry the heroine, is "a lively young
| woman from Chicago" and the scenes
| of the piece are laid in "a quiet sub
urb of Philadelphia" and, according to
| accounts, the result is an amusing and
| laughter-provokingp play.
Mrs. Cushing wrote Jerry" especially
| for Miss Burke because the popular
| Frohman star wanted an American
play with an American girl in it for her
to impersonate. The playwright sent
the manuscript to Charles Frohma n
| one day last spring. A week later Miss
| Burke had begun rehearsing it Ind a
| month later she made her first appear
ance In 1t at the Lyceum Theater, New
York. 1t proved a success and in it
| this season on tour Miss Burke has
| been doing wonderful business, playing
| to crowded houses everywhere. OF
course. having been written for her,
f, the role of the Chicago girl fits her
precisely.
Jerry" is a precocious miss not yet
| out of her teens She is old enough,
! though, to fall in love. and the man of
| her choice happens to have been the
| fance of her aunt for twenty years.
That makes no difference to Jerry"
| however. She wants him, and she gets
him. Just how she does it the play
| shows.

headed by Shelley Hull, who was her
leading man in THE Mind the Paint
