1 form y separately published work icon Khyber Edmund Barclay , 1935 Australia : 2BL Australian Broadcasting Commission , 1935 Z852162 1935 series - publisher radio play

'The Australian Broadcasting Commission's new serial, "Khyber," the first episode of which will be produced by Lawrence H. Cecil on Monday next, is an original composition by Edmund Barclay.

'A quick-moving adventure story, it gives inside glimpses of the British Army at work defending the outposts of Empire. Unspoiled by lurid sensationalism and relieved by flashes of typical humor, "Khyber" is expected to be a fitting successor to "Ivanhoe" and "The Three Musketeers."

'A story opens in the fashionable summer resort in North West India, Simla, then quickly moves in the grim fastnesses and snow-capped mountains of the famous Khyber Pass. No effort has been spared in securing accuracy in local color, and revealing cameos are given illustrating the teeming life in "Mother India."'

'When Pontius Pilate asked his famous question, “What is Truth?” how could he have known that the answer stood before him, crowned in thorns? This obscure Roman Governor of an obscure Roman province, trying to tamper with Imperial Roman justice with pity, had to bow to the religious intolerance of the people which he governed—the problem was beyond him, and so he washed his hands of the matter. How could he have done otherwise? And so a cross was raised upon Golgotha, and upon it was nailed a scroll bearing the words, “King of the Jews.” This passion play endeavors in all reverence to bring to you the thoughts and emotions of some of those who were intimately connected with the trial and execution of One Who was beyond and above all earthly trials, all earthly exceptions.'
