GUY BATES POST.

The dramatic genius, Guy Bates Post, who is electrifying Auckland theatregoers, will be seen in " Tho Masquerader " for two more nights only, for on Tuesday the great artist will appear in William Archer's famous play, " The Green Goddess," which will be staged at His Majesty's Theatre for five nights only. -An Oriental potentate—the polished, suave, sinster Rajah of Rukh—is the central figure in the intenselydramatic offering, and the story deals with the unscrupulous Rajah's efforts to entrap an attractive. Englishwoman, Lucilla Crespin. An aeroplane crash is responsible for Lucilla, her husband, and Dr. Treherne finding themselves in the wild territory of Rukh " a portion of Asia, which produces a particularly poisonous type of fanatic," according to Dr. Treherne. The superstitious inhabitants of Rukh imagine that tho three English persons have been brought down from the heavens as compensation for the death of three of the Rajah's brothers who have been executed that day in India for a political murder. The Rajah himself is only anxious to practice the ancient law of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, in reverigo for the death of his relatives. After a thrilling series of events, the Rajah surrenders the prisoners, as an alternative to having his territory annihilated. The scenic splendour and the wealth of Oriental detail all helps to make the " The Green Gcddess " a most fascinating offering. The character of the Rajah is wonderfully portrayed by Guy Bates Post, and there are particularly good roles in the play for Miss Eileen "Sparks, and Messrs. Winnington Barnes. Ashton Jarrv, Leslie Victor and Eric Maxon. " " The. Green Goddess " will be staged for five nights only, and for the lasit three nights of Mr. Post's all-too-brief season a delightful comedy-drama, " The Bad Man " will be presented.
