Question

This person and Charles Vyner Brooke name steamships that evacuated Singapore in 1942. This European starred in the faux “Istanbul comedy” The Crusaders and an 1898 coronation drama for the monarch who opened Kartini schools. “Chatto” and this person inspired the story “Giulia Lazzari” by a protégé of John Wallinger, who tracked this woman’s hiring of Inayat (“ee-NAH-yat”) Khan’s orchestra during the Ghadar (“gudder”) conspiracy. This modern woman’s persona defined later media coverage of Manchuria’s Yoshiko Kawashima (10[1])and (10[1])Canada’s Gerda Munsinger (-5[1])(“MOON-zinger”). British atrocity propaganda contrasted (10[1])the nurse Edith Cavell with this contemporary, who (10[1])was dubbed “H-21” (-5[1])after she (10[1])accepted 20,000 francs (10[2])in her neutral home (10[1])country. This Frisian took a stage name meaning (10[2])“sun” in Malay. (10[4])For (10[1])10 (10[1])points, (10[1])in 1917, (10[1])a (10[1])French (10[1])firing squad executed (10[1])what (10[1])Dutch exotic dancer and alleged German spy? ■END■ (10[2]0[1])

ANSWER: Mata Hari [or Margaretha Geertruida Zelle; or Margaretha Geertruida MacLeod; or MZM; accept Margaretha or M’greet; accept “Agent H-21” until read; accept HMS Mata Hari] (Queen Wilhelmina opened Kartini schools as part of Ethical Policy. Somerset Maugham’s Ashenden stories, like “Giulia Lazzari,” were based on his espionage with Wallinger.)
