Louise Lovely (h,p) fcjj Pioneering Billie Burke Gets New Notion of - Big World Through Doing Her Part in New Picture B . ILLY BUKKE was- heard, to say a few days ago: " 'The Land of Promise' is to me one of the realest pictures . I ever worked in and in portrayine the in- . her . heart-life of the. little, affection ; starved "English girl I almost lived the character and was quite as wort ried over her problems and troubles as if they had been my 6wn.

Some Scenes , there as well as in the yelldw wheat fields where most of the production was taken and where my. film hus band was supposed to have a farm. '"A queer thing that happened while we were working Tn . this pro duction was that I kept feeling that I had been m those places before and, indeed, several times when we were motoring about looking" for 'lo cations' I was ahle to tell the driver which was to turn, although I . had never been there before to my knowl edge. "The mystery was explained upon receipt of a letter from my aunt in Montreal, who asked me whether I remembered the trip T'had taken with her through that same , district at 4 years of ag'el ' ' "'The Land of Promise,' in which f starred for; rri'a'ny months on " the speaking stage, was arranged for the screen by W. Somerset Maughan, its original author, and will, I think, prove to be even more popular than the original, as we were, of course, able to secure many effects impossi ble for the narrow limits of stage." You can see Billie Burke in "The Land of Promise" at the Strand theater Wednesday and the remainder of the week. The story of "Thais," the Goldwyn photoplay in which Mary Garden, the most celebrated woman in the world, makes her screen debut, is that of a world-famous novel by Anatole France. According to the action the pho toplay, Thais is a celebrated beauty in the city of Alexandria, whose in numeral love affairs have scandal ized the civilized world. The time is just when Christianity is beginning to supersede pagan beliefs. From among her many lovers the fancy of Thais is engaged by Paphinutius, a wealthy young man who is noted for his learn in jr. - --, The young philosopher at once falls pin love with the beauty, whereupon an jeaious rivat pians nis aeatn. just as he is emerging from the house of Thais, this rival sets upon him, but in self-defense Paphnutius kills him. Although violent deaths are eaat mon in the Alexandria of that dy, and there is no likelihood of Paplr putius being punished by. the authori ties, his Christian precepts tell him that murder is a heinous sin ; and, com pletely overcome with remorse at what he has done, he gives away all his worldly goods and becomes a monk with a group of other men doing 1 i ' rr .i . voluntary penance on in me nesert. Then, when he has become cele brated for his holiness, he conceives the idea of converting Thais because I it would have tremendous effect on people everywhere in the great cause, by saving the soul of the most noto rious figure in the world of sin. The outcome of this situation is one of the most thrilling portions of the film which will be offered at the Boyd next Sunday. ' lor4 and hr diofhter.
