THEATRES
Strand Program

Unanimously acclaimed one of the
most distinguished actors on the Am
erican stage today, it was natural
that Guy Bates Post should have
been besieged with offers of screen
stardom. He has at last accepted
and will be seen in THE Masquera-
der" the Richard Walton Tully pro-
duction which comes to the Strand
theatre tomorrow as a First National
attraction.
1t is regarded as fitting that Posts
first film vehicle should be THE Mas
querader," with its dual roles of
Chilcote and Loder, for he has been
playing them on the stage for over
six consecutive years, a~ggregating
more than two thousand performan.
ces, all over the United States and
Canada. His tours have also incIud-
ed six months stay in Australia with
this play. Furthermore, Post has
been under Tully's management for
twelve years; two years in 1.-THE
Bird of Paradise" four years as the
star of Omar the Tentmaker," and
six years in 1.-THE Masquerader."
Even before coming under Tully's
management, Post had established
himself among the leading figures of
our theatre. AFTER a long experience
in New York and the other principal
cities of this country in a varied
repertoire, Post came into especial
prominence as the star of Rupert
Hughes play The Bridge" and of
several Clyde Fitch successes. When
the New Theatre was organized in
New York, with the hope of making
1t the endowed national home of the
finest drama, he was signally hon
ored through being selected, because
of his acknowledged merit, to head
the company that presented the
repertoire of modern drama. 1t
was here that he was seen in the
title role of 1.-The Niger" Edward
%Sheldon's masterful play on the race
problem.
Since his boyhood, Guy Bates Post
has had only one ambition: to be-
come the leading actor Of the nation.

modern jazz spirit which pervades
our times as well as the possible
remedy therefor, are clearly and
most entertainingly depicted.

back of it stands out clearly
throughout without intruding itself
to the detriment of the story.
Wallace Reds role presents him
in the light of a good samaritan, his
mental outlook cleansed of its pos
sible previous acceptance of such
things as the public accepts. as a
result of the great war. Bebe
Daniels expresses the product of the
jazz age ffawlessly and her expert
ence proves that those who accept
freedom up to a given point will turn
upon anyone who oversteps that
point.
Conrad Nagel is a man of the
same type who, ono befuddled with
liquor, becomes a menace to the
woman in his company. 1t is an
almost perfect portrayal.

1t was shortly after dawn on the morn

The Rev. Mr.. Bachmont ran to the roof

of the tribesmen had stealthily made their
way down and had picketed the place
while awaiting the arrival of the main
forces And they ,had remained hidden
until now for the cruel satisfaction of
playing "cat and mouse" with the un-
fortunates before them.
With lash of whips and stroke of the
fiat of swords Kurds drove the people

of their men. These stepped forward,
gripped the minister and held him while
the awful work went on.
Not until the last of the gendarmes had
been slain and the five hundred lay in
shattered heaps about the square did the
machine guns cease their fire.
Then, at a word from their leaders, a
hundred or more of the tribesmen rushed

1t was at this moment, SO the reports

awoke from his swoon. His Mortified eyes
fell upon the scene before him. Whether
it was his intention to try to shield the
three missionaries or whether overcome

not clear.
What is clear is that in moment he

1t may be that despite their defiance the
Kurds were sobered by this murder of an
American minister. At any rate, thew

The girls picked up their clothing, threw
enough around them TO cover them and
carried the body of Mr.. Bachimont with
them. Mrs. Bachimont had vanished.
The mission house, except for them
selves, was empty. The women and chill
dren over whom they had labored so
lovingly were gone-carried away into
slavery
Not long after the minister died All
the rest Of that day the three missionary
women kept watch over the body while
the bandits looted the town.
AS night fell, the Kurds, many captured
women and girl children thrown across
their saddles, rode out of despoiled Soul

three missionary women that he was not
with the band that raided Soujbulak. Had
he been they would not have gotten off
with the mere. stripping of their clothes
from them.
Like the women and little ones they
have lost they would certainly have been

What reprisals can be made, or ven.

the country and its inaccessibilty
make punitive expedition practically
impossible.
The Washington times., 1922-04-23

x Tot long ago brief dispatches from
M Tabriz, in Persia, announced that
= the American Lutheran Mission at
Soujbulak, in Persian Kurdistan had
been raided by tribesmen, who had tor
mented three American missionary
women, had killed Rev. George H. Bachi-
mont, the head of the mission. and had
slaughtered 500 Persian soldiers who
had tried to resist their onslaught. The
tribesmen-wild Kurds from the hills
had then ridden away, carrying with them
into shameful slavery women and girl
children whom the missionaries had been
training in the ways of Christianity
This news, which came with shock of
horror to all supporters of the missionary
cause-and was received with sympathy
for the devoted sufferers and rage against
their attackers by everyone-has now
been supplemented by further reports to
London of just what occurred in that day
of terror at the Persian mission station.
And these reveal again the indomitable
courage and noble self-sacrfce of those
who literally take their lives in their
hands when they go out to teach the word
of the Saviour to the cruel and barbarous
tribes still dwelling in the darkness of
unbelief.
What is called Kurdistan covers an area
about half as large as the New England
States 1t lies partly in Persia and partly
in Asiatic Turkey 1t gets it's name from
the race of fierce mountaineers, survivals
of old Aryan stock, who have ruled it for
centuries.
The Kurds are Mohammedans, fanatic
followers of the Prophet. There seem to
be two types among them-one, the cruel
and calluus savages used by the Turks to
carry out the massacres of the Armen-
ans; the other, courteous and kindly,
although barbaric type which unfortunate
Iy, is much in the minority.
Soujbulak is a town located, roughly, In
the centre of Persian Kurdistan Just
north Of it is a welter of mountain peaks,
among whose hidden Businesses dwell
Kurdish trihesmen of the widest and
fercest kind.

men of education, refinement and highest
ideals.
There had been rumors that the tribes
men were gathering in the hills for a raid
upon Soujbulak. The authorities at Tab
riz had sent gendarmes, bringing the po-
lice protection of the place up to about
1000 fighting men. And many women and
children of the mission had been sent
away to places of comparative safety. AS
day by day went by and the threatened
attack did not materialize, life at the mis-
sion resumed its old peaceful ways. The
