IRIS Is an innocent japanese maid. She
is discovered having a heart-to-heart
talk with the Sun, which. in the strange
philosophy of the Oriental story. speaks

her doll baby and talking to the Sun
and her blind old father until she Is
discovered by Osaka, a rich young man,
who had he lived in these days, would
probably have been classed n wonder
All! She In beautiful.
Osaka recognizes In Iris something
which the average young woman would
have found out for herself the first time
she gazed into a nirror-like pool or took
a squirt at a cracked looking -glass. He
sees she Is beautiful-fair OF face and
figure.
Osaka promptly makes up his mind he
can't keep house without her. He
straightway contrives with Kyoto, n
takiomnti. rr keeper of a house in the
Yoshiwara Japanese for Tenderloin). to
capture Iris and carry her of to his
establishment.
To tins end the con~splrators arrange
q puppet show to which Iris and her
slghtless father are hidden. Iris thinks
II the greatest show since the prehis-
toric entertainments Of the Riralfys.
The evening world., 1902-10-16

In her enthusiasm and curiosity she
draws nearer and nearer to the geIshas
and musicians until she is finally sur
rounded by the dancers and hidden by
the folds OF their whirling wells. Then
suddenly the Samourals seize the girl
n with a hand over her mouth YEAR
her away.
Charmed by His Voice.
In the puppet show Osaka has played
tho part OF Jos. son Of the Sun, and
has come as n savior to n maid whose
father would have sold her. Osaka has
done mis- to impress Iris, and she is
fascinated by the spectacle and charmed
by his voice.
When the curtain rises again Iris is
seen lying asleep in a beautiful palace
of the Yoshiwara.
And here comes a scene which prom
iGes to put the posing Incident OF '-The
Clemenceau Case" in the shade OF the
tall timbers OF the backwoods.
Osaka canters in. and Kyoto lifts the
veil to lot the impetuous young man
feast his eyes on the charms OF Iris.
Let the Lights Burn Low.
Whether the lights at the MetropolI-
tan Opera House will burn low at this
point the press agent does not say.
Osaka grows exceedingly enthusiastic.
He says that Iris's lips are like cher

then she bushes and adds:
"I am ashamed OF such things!"
This Is Osako's cue to come forward
