"Mr. Whiteside will portray the fascinating character of Prince Tarmar in whose gorgeous palace in India the story of 'The Hindu' is told."

"Miss Amy Leslie, the celebrated dramatic critic of the CHicago Daily News, said: 'The Hindu is worth filling the theatre to see. You will have to go to have as good a time as we did.'"

"Mr. Perry Hammond, the brilliant dramatic reviewer of the New York and Chicago Tribune, said editorially: 'Walker Whiteside seems to have made a profound impression by his performance The Hindu, an oriental mystery play"

"Mr. David Belasco, world famed author, manager and producer, remarked to a friend one evening when leaving the Comedy theatre, New York: 'I have always admired Walker Whiteside's acting. I was thrilled by 'The Hindu" and enjoyed every minute of it"

"'THE HINDU' GREAT MYSTERY DRAMA"

"Walker Whiteside Has Unusual Role in Modern Melodrama"

"Walker Whiteside will come to Jefferson December 29, 29 and 30 with a matinee on Saturday in 'The Hindu,' a modern mystery melodrama of the east in which he appeared last season in both New York and Chicago."

"he will be seen as Prince Tamar, a powerful Maharaja of Somnouth, India, a most unusual role quite in keeping with other of histrionic portraits, notably Tokeramo, the Japanese diplomat in 'The Typhoon,' Wu Li Chang in 'Mr. Wu," James Durie in 'The Master of Ballantree'..."

"The play is in a prologue and three acts, the first being laid in an office in Scotland Yard, London, and others in the palace of Prince Tamar, in Somnouth, India."

"There have been reports of unrest coming from India and the British secret service in seeking the master mind who is fomenting the revolt. One Scotland Yard operative having fallen down, a woman is delegated to get the evidence"

"and this role is taken by Miss Sydney Shields, the distinguished emotional actress. Through three highly colored acts the Master Mind is sought for in a maharajah's palace. In the midst of colored oriental lights, weird East Indian music, tricks and threatening horrors..."

"Mr. Whiteside is said to move with sinuous steps, softened voice and the gorgeous raiment of a Prince Tamar. There are many surprises and thrills, and all reports indicate that 'The Hindu' is alive with imaginative interest, beautifully staged, and delightfully acted"
