Robert Downing In IAN Indiana Ro-
nance comes to Opera House on Monday
night. Not that IAN indiana Romance
electrifes by trespassing the bonds OF the
probable, or dabbles in cheap mystery. 1t
challenges no argument or antagonism
by disturbing cherished traditions 1t
wins its way into our hearts by very sim
plici.y, its childish tenderne So, Its. inten-
sely human plcturing of real life, not as
we read of it in books, but as We see it ali
about us. as we live every day. The life
of plain people CT small town, where
Life is real, life is earnest" where poo
pie act normally and naturally, obeying
tho simple dictates of fearless hearts, and
have no reason to make a conspiracy Of
their very existance by guarding each
word and look and posing always for ef-
feet. 1t Is a play so real that 1t does not
seem play. The very comedy is pathetic
in its rude seriousness, the very pathos
tremblcs on tho edge Of laughter. And
through it and over it is a sweetness az
fragrant as the hallowed words Of church
and home and mother

the enemy's castle and slew him.
They carried his head TO Tokyo, then
Yedo, and, after having washed it,
laid it as an offering on the tomb Of
their master. They awaited in con-
tentment their certain punishment,
and, when the verdict came, disem-
bowled themselves to a man. They
were buried by the side Of their mas
ter, there where | behold the peace

their tombs are visited annually by
thousands Of people. Go there what

! know that / have written much,
and told you little. But, if we who
live here get only glimpses, you can
hardly expect, through words, TO re-
ceiye more. japanese customs, char
acter, psychology, in word civiliza-
tion, are so utterly different from our
conceptions that they have never yet,
in their complex totality, been thor
oughly comprehended by any citizen
Of the West. There are those who,
disdainfully thrusting aside the can
ons of perhaps too exclusively ma
terialistic age, boldly assert that, all
things considered, the japanese civil
zation is superior to that Of the oc-
cident. No knowing person could
really question that whether superior
or inferior in type to our own, it has
been far more highly perfected. /
myself believe that our own type Of
civilization is superior to the Japan
ese. | am equally confident, however
that we might proftably learn much
from the Japanese That Japan
ese themselves are, perhaps too
recklessly, rejecting their own Gin
theory rather than practice,) and
pursuing with enthusiasm West
ern ideas, simply indicates, il any,
thing, the superiority of the Western
type of civilization. From this, su-
periority in all details by no means
follows.
If such hastily pennd, discussiye re-
marks elicit from your readers enough
interest to merit publication, | shall

er details Of this strangely fascinating,
