MT. Guy Bdtes Post

IT you adore Guy Bates Post like do-his exquisite art, his aesthetic taste and his splendid versatility then you'll perfectly love this story; If you don't (and is there anyone who doesn'tD well-we won't speak of that, but just go straight on with my story. Yesterday when 1 called on MT. Post in his private car 1t took me back to the old 'before-the-war days" of inter viewing" when Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson" Madame Bernhardt and others of their distinction were always to be found in their luxurious cars, sur rounded with all the comfortable End beautiful accessories that only the artis- tic can thoroughly enjoy and-afford
 Mir Posts car, La Vaca," where I spent an enjoyable hour with the emi- nent actor, listening to him talk in his wonderful way about his play "The Masqueraders, the dual personality that hs plays-the study of the character of theSdrug addict, Chilcote; the diamet- rically different character, Loder-radi- ated the golden sunshine of the glorious day, as the eminent actor surrounded by every luxury of exquisite environ ment which his aesthetic nature demands, cLatted charmingly and delightfully."- about his almost four years of con- tinuous playing of the dual role. Every time I see Guy Bates Post I am more impressed than ever that there is but one Guy Bates Post; and although the critics always refer to him as a second Sir Henry Irving-a superb suc- cessor to the great Richard Mansfield neither he nor l sees just why this is done, because the fact that he is Guy Bates Post sufficiently describes his name and fame on the stage.
 Of course, I didn't ask Mir. Post to tell me how he makes the marvellous changes from Chilcote to Loder-and back again -in "The Masquerader" That is mo- body's affair but his own, and besides, the illusions of the stage should not be revealed. but he was nice enough to tell me how he acquired the atmo- sphere, the environment, the little pecu- liarities of the drug fiend-the poor. morphia-ridden, worn, spent victim of the deadly drug.
 Nobody in the world has the beautiful tone of voice that MT Post has; every word that he speaks is like velvet and magic; his clear, exquisite enunciation, his matchless magnetism-all seem to go into the words that he speaks, ereat- ing an interest and a fascination that is inexplicable.
 Truly, I'm not matinee idol Siri at all; I don't lose my head over every good-looking. attractive actor that meet (and I've met them all-most alb; but for sheer fascination. personality rather too indifferent pose Cor is is pose?), I believe I have not met anyone in all my Interviewing career who IS as distinct, as original, as exotic. as Guy Bates Post.
 Back of it all his big brain seethes and lives and burns and compels by sheer greatness, his world of knowledge, nis appreciation of all that is sublime in art making him a genius supreme.
