part of the interest felt in the production.
Mr. Kawakami and saba Yacco both hav-

ing crndeness during the engagement that

Mention of this relationship shows the
chief distinction between the two plays

said to have evidenced any surprising de

in the occasional emotional passages. Miss
Yacco seemed a more consistent Osode,
while Mr.. Watanabe and others in the cast
were adequate to the roles assigned them.
