BIG DRAMATIC FESTIVAL

Auditorium, Toledo October 1919,
1920.
Americas leading player, Guy
Bates Post, the most celebrated plav
Of the decade, "The Masquerader"
comprise combination never before
equalled in theatricals, is coming to
this section. This much talked about
seasons best offering, with the ORR
glnal cast and production, revolving
stages, triple electrical equipment,
thematle music and nine ponderous,
pulsating scenes, is commented on
by the leading critic of Boston to
the extent Of two columns, among
other eulogistic comments he saws.
Guy Bates Post kept capacity
audience thrilliag in response II The
clever unfolding Of the story If the
substitution OF John Loder for his e, u
sin, the dissolute John Chilcote, at
a time when England stood sorely in
need of the brilliant statesman who
had become hopeless drug-addict.
The dual role of Mr.. Post presents
the best character study ever seen
on Boston stage. Where Mansfield
IN his transition of Jekyll ani Hyde
used various accessories to complete
the illusion, Mr.. Post relies entirely
upon his play of facial expression,
manner, bearing and intonation.
His contrasts between the fine
controlled Loder and the brilliant
weakling Chilcote, were wonderful
examples Of detailed study of the
two men. Nothing is lacking. Even
Chilcote's inability to control the
muscles of his face, the indetermin-
ate relaxed mouth, the waverine
hands, all were indications of the
breaking down through the use OF
morphia of what had been mos
brilliant mind. The sudden transi.
eions from one personality to the
other must be severely taxing fol
Mr.. Post is scarcely absent from the
stage throughout the entire play. HI

seen in Boston and the ease -vitl
which the ponderous scenes were
transposed bespeakes much for tn,
manner of modern stage-craft a:
manipulated by that master Richard

An invitation is being sert out this
week from the Wauseon Ministerial
Union to al the minister's Of the coun-
ty to attend special meeting in Wall
am Monday October II at 1000 a.
m. for the purpose of organizing a

that the ministers may be able to
study the needs of the whole county,
~ that they NAV together work for
the welfare of the whole county.

rather unusual in the churches and
marks the growing realization that
the churches must get together prac=
tical forms of service, if they are to
meet the needs of the new age.
