Miss Landis won a scholarship in the Chicago Musical college, where she studied voice, dra- matic art and instrumental mu- sic. Graduating from that insti- tution she embarked for New York and was placed in charge of William Wade Hinshaw for voice training, and M. V. Hin- shaw and Hamilton Coleman for dramatic art and stagecraft. However, the urge for real dra- matic work was not to be denied her and immediately upon her return home she allied herself with the Evanston Stock com- pany, then under the direction of Harry Minturn and playing in what is now the New Evanston theater. Later she interpreted plays, and Joseph Schildkraut chanced to be in the audience one night. He engaged her to play the flir- tatious countess in "The High- wayman.' After that she ap- peared in John Golden's "Wages for Wives" and "Seventh Heav- en," also as a member of "The Werwolf" company. Vaudeville also claimed Miss Landis for a time. She appeared opposite Jacob Ben Ami, in the Jessie Royce Landis second act of "Samson and De- lilah" at the Palace theater. After this she played in Detroit, Mich, in Adolph Klauber's "Wings of Chance," in which play Jessie Bonstelle saw her, and when Miss Bonstelle decided to produce "Little Women" she engaged Miss Landis for the part of Jo, in which this young actress scored so heavily that she was listed to play leading parts only with the Bonstelle Stock company during all of last summer, after having secured her release from A. H. Woods with whom she had signed a contract previously. Miss Landis is now appearing in the role of Flora Brazier, in Mr. Skinner's present vehicle "The Honor of the Family," and although the part is of an unsympathetic nature, she nevertheless revels in it because it gives her opportunity to display all human emotions.
