Madame Bedlu Mouvahid Leads Turkish Stage Revolution

Constantinople March 10 Madame Bedlu Mouvahid called the leading lady of the Turkish stage has earned a double claim to fame. Her bold decision to appear on the Smyrna stage three years ago in a profession banned to Muslim women sparked many Turkish women to follow, pushing Greek and Armenian actresses from the field. Her first public act was a marriage to a Turkish actor against her aristocratic family’s orders, who disowned her. After the sultanate’s dissolution she staged her first performance in Smyrna opposite her husband, even as police raided the theatre. The new nationalist government endorsed her venture, banning police interference. Though some Muslims remain shocked, audiences enjoy a heroine who speaks real Turkish rather than Greek or Armenian jargo. Her troupe now numbers ten Turkish women. Modern in dress, Madame Bedia remains both on and off stage, upholding dignity preserved from the old regime’s wreck. Self-trained with no acting schools in Turkey, her performances are crude by Western standards but triumph with native crowds.
