e THE NEW PLAYS @ Walker Whiteside’s “Hindu” Glamourous BY CHARLES’ DARNTON F England only knew it, she inight by turning ov that prince I r the whole matter uths, to be shot or stabbed or otherwise killed, and could get on the Job the moment he had finshed bis afternoon tea, ‘This significant hint was thrown out by “The Hindu” last night at the Comedy Theatre. There was no end of mystery about this Oriental melodrama by Gordon Kean ami Car) Mason, ne nly on but off the stage, lobby detec- tives hoar-cly wh ring that Gordon Kean was none other than Walker Whiteside, who appeared in all his glory as the beautifully upholstered Prince. Hound to s¢ y by & beserching programme, { can only say of ‘unningham that in the Scotiand Yard prologue he was reported done for, und that a veiled lady was despatched India. Perhaps the «hief -a n of fow words, as you may well believe~ felt that the quest of » jewel was naturally woman's work Anyway, it was a big job, for o whopping big jewel had been stolen att of the forchead of the Moon God m the outskirts of Somnouth, and the natives were so worked up that only tts restoration could keep them rom start one of the nastiost re- volts in their repertory. That was had enough, but to make matters worse the sex problem got mixed into the affair. Sometimes it seems as though there's no keeping It out, no matter how serious things are, doesn't {t? With the great Moon God rob- bery to worry about, it was distress. ng to find the unveiled lady in India deceived by the Englishman who hed travelled all the way with her with- out telling her he w married. It »ppeared she loved adventure, and that he was mad about her, ‘This is where Mr. Whiteside came in as Prince Tamar, smooth as the silk he wore and with a neat way of arranging matters. He had aon eye for Clarice and a glare for that de- signing chap Morgan, who claimed to be acting on the authority of the nglish Government, For visitors who didn’t suit his fancy the Prince was said to have a secret way of dropping them into a bed of quick- ime. Trick furniture, doors that opened and closed mysteriously, and other knick-knacks proved him to be 4 most ingenious Prince. His idea of giving Clarice a pleasant afternoon was to show her the wisdom tooth of a faithful wife who had been burned to death in accordance with an ancient custom, and to exhibit a vivacious snake he kept !n a rare old chest. To make Clarice still more excited he got very personal Indeed with her, causing her to shriek in virtuous borror and pound on the door until his surprised and pained mother marched inu and saw how hings were. They really were worse than anything that George Arliss was xullty of in “The Green Goddess," though pretty much along the same line. By this time the sex complex rot on Clarice’s nerves so terribly that she sobbed ax though her poor heart would brenk. But later on the Prince apologized like a gentleman and did nothing more than give her a doped cigarette. However, she man- aged to keep up and enjoy seeing Morgan and a rascally native clamped into patent chairs for stealing the jewel. Morgan got possession of the gem for the purpose of causing a vevolt that would send up the price of Indian goods he had already shipped to foreign markets. He was ‘the master mind’’ we had heard so much about from the beginning of the trouble. T must leave est of the play, ers. Altoget! u to imagine the as the programme it is @ glamourous dventure filled with surprises and 1ot_ a few thrills, though T can't help. ing It would, be better If it showed he Moon God after all the talk about he unveiling of the shrine.

Al- though she didn't look romantic, Sydney Shields acted tntelligently and put considerable power into her highly emotional scene. Ian Maclaren played the villain somewhat obviously after the fashion of melodrama, and the native characters were given their full picturesque value ‘THE BIG LITTLE FAMILY ALL CEHIND ME HERE -T'LL Go ouT AN’ MAKE A STAG AT 7s “Manacer” dB !
