THE JAP PLAYERS,
SCENERY is STRIKING; cos
TUNES ARE SPLENDID.
Plays Are Primitivc-Humor Is Ex-
pressed by Flip-FIops. HEROES by
Blind stagScrs, and lathos by Much
Snuffiing.

In the California theater, San Fran
cisco, the other night, Otto Kawakami
and Nine. Yacco and their company
of rising Japanese actors and ac-
tresses" appeared for the first time in
America, in no less than four different
pieces. At first sight and oun the
native Japanese drama is rather a dill
ticu,t problem. FITS tragedy does not
make a serious dent in the American
auditor, and its comedy does not strike
him as the most Joyous thing in the
world. The Japanese actor, one fnds,
expresses pathos though his nose; he
roles. in blind staggers, and humor In
acrobatic %fip-faps. He snufies when
he is saddest. And as there was a
great deal of sadness in the first two
pieces presented last night, there was
a deal of snufling. Our japanese
townfolk filed the gallery and seemed
to find delight in these nasal special-
ties, but the people downstairs didr't
appear to know just how to take them.
The plays are childishly primitive, and
with the aid of the arguments" print
ed in the programme, quite ineligible.
The first one, THE Duel" displays
beautiful scenery and costumes and a
diverting sword fight. The second,
~"kosunoki,' is full Of fights, during
which the actors employ themselves in
many realistic tumbles from a pile Of
stage rocks some fifteen feet in
height. Hypnotism also seems to
have a place in this piece, as n no.
tees that many Japs fall down van
eyed hero. The most interesting in
plot is THE Temjye of Dojoji," which
is built around the japanese legend OF
the bell in which the lovers hide and
are cremated by the Jealous woman's
wrath. In this Nine. Yacco, who i'm
%personates the vengeful rival. executes
a dance that is full of unique steps and
poses. The performance closes with
what is archly entitled Dewey Day
Celebration on the Pine Fringed Shores
of Milo" Here the Geisha dances are
introduced with pleasing result. An
other diversion that comes earlier in
the programme Is a song, accompanied
by the characteristic Japanese instru-
ment, the shamisen. The song itsell
is long-voiced falsetto and painful t.
the ears, but the accompaniment is in
teresting from a technical standpoint,
at least. Cut to practical proportions
this Japanese show ought to have {
4 curious interest for all play-goers. Blu
in its present shape the Jap auditor:
/. seem TO have most Of the fun. AS
picture, it is we'll worth taking In. tn
q scenery is striking and the costume
are splendid. 1t is quite like an ami
mated Japanese screen.
