Wed. Asiatic Colonial Play That Makes the British HE ignorance, the arrogance, the pompous strutting of the gun-men of imperialism arouse amusement in the play “The Arabian” now being presented at the Eltinge Theatre by Walker Whiteside and his company. The play opens in Cairo, where a group .of British officers in com- mand of an ex- peditionary force charged with in- vading the desert and capturing a mysterious bandit are taking their last fling in a cafe before entering the Walker Whiteside a prominent Ara- bian who frequents Cairo directs the pompous British commander, Colonel Gordon, to fol- low a certain route, knowing that the suspicious agent of British imperial- ism will follow a different one. There is a girl in love with another officer, Captain Fenway, who also desires to enter the desert in search of a father she has never seen since infancy. Abd el Rey learns of her mission and agrees to get her into the desert. The expeditionary force of a thou- sand men marches away on their four weeks’ trip into, the pathless sand. The next scene is the tent of Adb el Rey in the desert. The sound of a droning airplane motor is heard and Abd el Rey with the girl and a pilot arrives. In dué time the British force arrives, but the desert hordes under command of Adb el Rey have dis- armed them and they are virtually prisoners. There are numerous complications, in which the alleged superiority of the British forces are made the butt of ridicule by Abd el Rey. Many in- cidents reveal correctly the deep hatred of the Asiatics for the im- perialist oppressor, The play ends with the Arabs hold- ing a decided advantage, but we shall not recount it here. As is always the ease, Walker Whiteside gives an excellent perfor- mance. For a quarter of a century he has been one of the foremost ac- tors on the American stage.
