Actor, in Films, Import
ant One in Juneau.
The local movie engagement of
Ouy Bates Post, opening at the Pa
lace tonight in "The Masquetader,”
Is perhaps a most Important film en-I
gagement here, not only because
Post is a brother of Harold Post,
well known banker, and Is a SeS
attle boy, known to hundreds of Alas
kans, but he is also one of the ' w
leading actors on the American stage
today. The appearance of Ouy Ifit-s
Post In "The Masquerader” is his
first film venture and the screening
of this was done when the piay was
withdrawn front a stage run order
to get the celluloid registrations.
It was in 1890 Ouy Bat93 Post was
given his first opportunity bthlnd the
footlights, which led to his big sue
cess on the American stage, when he
played the insignificant role oi thr
Jailor, appearing on the stag" for
only five minutes In the las. act in
tile Potter Bellew Company production
of Charlotte Cordea.
Guy Bates Post Is a Seattle bty and
In childhood began his study for n
stage career.
His early struggles for fame were
told a representative of The Empire
today by his brother. Harold Post.
“Guy was always an actor,” said
Post. When we were youngsters Jiv
ing in Seattle, he was ,<.>out 12
years old, he converted the large
attic on the third story of on* home)
out on Fifth and Columbia, into a
theatre and put on amateur p'r'orni i
antes for the other youngsters of 'he
neighborhood. Elmer A. Friend wa1'
one of his best pals and the twi of
them put over really good shows.
Studies Dramatic Art
“When Guy was 16 yea.s of age
our mother sent him to San rFan
cisco wheer he spent two years tsudy
lng dramatic art under Professpr
Ross, a friend of the family. When
ihe was 18 he returned to Seattle and
spent several years as treasurer of
the Seattle Theatre, always watching
for an opportunity to break into the
game. Every company which played
in the theatre, no matter how large
I or small or good or poor, was a gtil
I en chance to Guy and he made an at

I what it might be, which would g^t

tember 1 of that year when the com
pany was organizing for winter work
he would have a job. Guy scrimped
and saved to get himself to Chicago
and on September 1 he was there.
Bellew had forgotten him but when
Guy reminded him of the promise
gave him the part of Jailor in the
play. *
“His part called for his entrance
on the stage Just once in the hist
act and then lie had only to rattle
the chains of tin . cell door and sav
a few words. How he got on the
stage and through his part he does
not know to this day. He says hs
remembers being pushed off the stage
where he leaned against one of the
settings. When the play had ended j
and the house dark he was still lean-!
lng against the scenes. One of the i
stage hands told him Bellew wanted
to see him. He only thought he had j
had his chance, failed and would be!
fired. But Bellew complimented him
on his work and kept him on. Since,
that time they have been fast friends, j
| and Guy made rapid progress toward i
his success.”

The Northbird Aviation Company
of .Ketchikan lias purchased the Boe
ing pontoon seaplane from Dr. H.
C. DeVighne and will have the plane
assembled and in commission for
flying at Juneau in about 10 days,
according to Roy F. Jones, of the
company and pilot of the plane,
who is in Juneau.
The plane is one of the best forj
flying conditions in Alaeka, Jones
said. It has a 50-ft. wing spread
and Is 26 feet long. It is equipped
with a Hall-Scott 125 h.p. enginej
and carries the pilot and two pas
sengers.
It is especially desirable for pho
tographic work as a camera can be
mounted In the bottom of the ship
and the space between the pontoons
allows for pictures to be taken di
rectly beneath, it is also a splen
did ship for rivers as the pontoons
draw only 12 inches of water and
because of its lightness it takes ofT
easily and is suitable for lakes
where landing areas are limited.
The ship is painted an army buff
and lias the insignia of the military
