THINGS YOU’D LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT “THE LAND OF PROMISE”
• BILLIE BURKE IS THE STAR. She appeared in a long and successful run of the same production in its stage version on Broadway several seasons ago.
MR. SOMERSET MAUGHAN IS THE AUTHOR. He is also the author of many other noted plays, including “ Mmle. Zampa,” “Lady Erederick,” “The Explorer,’’ “Mrs. Dot,’’ “Smith,’’ “Grace,’’ “The Hero,’’ “Mrs. Creddock,’’ “The Land of the Blessed Virgin,’’ and “The Magician.’’
“THE LAND OE PROMISE” WAS DIRECTED BY JOSEPH KAUFMAN, who has been responsible for many well-known photoplays including “Broadway Jones,” starring George M. Cohan in his initial motion picture.
THE LEADING MALE PART IS PLAYED BY THOMAS MEIGHAN, well-known leading man for Pauline Frederick and others as well as star in his own rights.
There are numerous exquisitely beautiful scenes of the Canadian wheat fields and the Canadian Rockies^ said to surpass the Alps in grandeur.
The “human interest” element in “The Land of Promise” is exceptionally marked and there are several entirely new twists in the plot.
Billie Burke’s last picture was “Arms and the Girl,” to which this forms a great contrast being a drama while the former was a comedy-drama.
