It is easy to state that Guy Bates Post. in 'The Masquerader." which comes to the Jefferson theatre next Monday, Tues day and Wednesday nights, with a Wednesday matinee, is the hit of the theatrical season.
 The Jefferson has certainly brought scme wonderful talent to Birmingham this year, and the theatregoing public has responded and appreciated it. So the management of the Jefferson felt safe in booking even so great an actor as MT. Post, to give their patrons the best that could be had.
 MT. Post is not a one-night actor. He travels by private car and will not play less thar three-day engagement in any city. 'The Masqueraders" Is an elanor- ate play, with three carloads just of scenery. The night in the London fog, when John Loder, the free lance news paper writer meets John Chilcote, the drug addicted member of Parliament, is said to be the best allusion ever staged. Each detail of production is carried out to perfection. The garden of tss Chil- cote mansion might be an artistcrs:ic

garden of London. And so with the other settings.
 MT Posts acting is almost baffring in it's sincerity. He plays both the lovable newspaper writer and the pitiful drug fiend the member of Parliament. And he handles both roles so marvelously as to cause the audience to gasp at the change.
 The story of "The Masquerader," taken from the novel by Katherine Cecil Thurston. is we'll known to everyone. The strange likeness of two men, who meet for the first time in London fog, and change places, forms the background of the story. John Loder becomes John Chilcote, and member of Parliament, and John Chilcote sinks away to en- joy his drug in peace at the home of John Loder But Chilcote's wife recog- nizes Loder, and after the first appre- hension, falls in love with him. Thus runs the most interesting story that has ever been written with masquerader for the hero.
