AT TIE PLAYHousE.

The necessary cancellation OF Sam
Bernard's musical revue "As You
Were" makes 80 Wise Fools" the
last attraction Of the regular Play
house season. The latter has it's
initial local performance tonight.
Although it did not achieve the
sensational hit scored by Light
min. %, "3 Wise Fools" ran for 10
months on Broadway far longer
run than made by many other sue
cesses. Repeat engagements have
already been played in Chicago, Bos-
ton and other big centers-a sure
test OF its popularity. Besides this
tho comedy has been successfully
presented in London and Australia
by foreign companies.
"S Wise Fools" comes from the
typewriter OF Austin Strong. II is
described as a comedy OF "mirth.
master minds and mystery" How

BOKHARA: STRATEGIC
CENTER OF TRANS
CASPIAN REGION

Reported nervousness on the part
of the BOlshevik leaders at a grow
ing restiveness under Soviet institu-
tions in the region of the Caucasus,
raises the question whether similar
conditions may not be- present in Box
hara, just across the Caspian sea,
where plots and counter plots have
followed one another bewilderingly
during the last few years.
Bokhara, dusty and tawny in tone,
is nevertheless a colorful city because
OF the striking costumes of the male
inhabitants. The women, clad in SOM
Der tones and hiding their faces be-
hind horsehair wells which resemble
window screening, avail themselves of
protective colOration which enables
them to move like shadows about the
ancient city. But the BOkhara male,
be he Usbeg, Sart, Persian, or Talk,
utilizes all the cOlors and tints of the
solar spectrum in his costume.
Bokhara is an important religious
center. 1t has 364 mosques. With a
| practically unknown railway running
| south to the Afghan frontier, its To-
| cation in the midst of Central Asia
gives it a strategic Importance that
is little appreciated.
The Khanate Of Bokhara has an
area about equal to that of Utah, but
with four times the population. Since
the outbreak of the war, its fortunes
have varied. Part of the time it has
been an Independent khanate, showing
its prerogative by taking up the rails
of the Trans-Caspian railway whiGh
passed through it's territory. Several
times it has been under the control of
the Bolshevik forces. The Amir had a
picturesque army of about 1000 SOL
diers, many of whom carelesSly
lounged along the stone passageway
which leads up 20 the Ark, or castle.
On this incline, in front of the royal
residence, formerly there was enacted
every Friday morning a ceremony i'm
pressive in it's dignity and dazzling
in its color effects. Hundreds Of sol.
emn mullahs, clad in bright silk robes
of stick candy stripes or gorgeous gol-
den suns on purple fields, belted with
silver, and with buckles as large as
salad plates, gathered here in impress
sive rows, each with priceless prayer
rug beneath his feet.
These were not the dashing types
which once made Mohammedanism &
power from Mecca to Gibraltar but
the ceremonialists whose religion is
thing of dignity and prosperity
founded on trade rather than a life
in the saddle. In unison they bow
low so that only broad backs can bC
seen, but moment later all are cree
with their spotless white turbans thC
most prominent feature in c scene 81
colorful that only an Oriental SUI
could harmonize it.
Bokhara is architecturally unimpres
sive but nowhere are there more at
tractive Oriental bazaars. Brass
smiths vie with goldsmiths to add tn
CLINT of glowing metal to the hal
light of the covered souks and ther
the makers of peculiar Bokhara cap
display their brightly colOred wares
the edges glistening with soft fur
from Siberia

POOL KNOWN AS MOSES WELL
Is Believed to Be That Mentioned in
the Bible in Connection With
Great Law GiVer.

In the Egyptian desert, about ten
miles east of SueZ, is situated a pic
turesque pool known as Moses WELL"
This is believed to be the well men
toned in the Bible, where Moses, at
the bidding of the Lord, cast a branch
into the bitter waters, and they were
sweetened. Set in a deep grove of
date-palms and pomegranate trees, the
well is dark, calm, mysterious look
ing pool, faithfully rejecting the
palms which fringe it's edges. The
scene at sunrise, when the first rays
strike the still water, is exquisite be-
yond description.
Attempts to identify various nat
ural beauties and locations with men
tons or descriptions as given in the
Bible have always been difficult, owing
to the fact that the records of the
rulers of Egypt at the time of the cap
tivity of the Jews were destroyed by
rulers that came into power immedi-
ately afterward. The motive was
jealousy, and a determination to wipe
from the minds of the people any re.
grets for rulers gone.
