mental point of view he has fallen into
state of senile decay. These reports
are absolutely without foundation.

JAP ANESE THEATERS
RING WITH "BONz|A'S"

all sorts of excitement Several men on
the japanese ship are wounded and the
scene ends with the blowing up Of the two
Russian ships, to the accompaniment Of
loud "bonzias" from actors and audience.
Another exceedingly realistic scene shows
the gathering OF number OF recruits at
hotel awaiting transport to the front. To
them come their friends and relatives 20
say good bye. To an officer comes his wife
with baby in her arms and her small son
at her side. AT first the officer refused
even to look at them He tells them that
he no longer belongs to them, but to his
country, and that he has forgotten even
their existence. But at last

and he takes the baby in his arms for the
last time. He sheds few tears on the
little ones head and then turns and leaves
his family to return to his duty, ashamed
of the feeling that for a moment has mas.
tered him. An old "samura" comes 70
give TO his only son the sword OF his
fathers, telling him to use it as his fathers
did before him and never return alive Sc
long as Japan needs soldier. A mother
comes to bid her only son farewell and "a
tell him that death for his emperor is the
greatest honor soldier can receive, and ia
forget her and everything else in the world
save his duty.
The last act Of the play shows an attack
on a Russian outpost by a party of Jap
anese soldiers The fighting is fast and
furious and ends with the complete route
of the Russians and the glorious death Of
the japanese captain, after he has killed
at least twenty Russians with his sword
alone.
The audience at this theatcr is no less In
teresting than the play. The Japanese
enter into the spirit of the play, and their
intense patriotism causes them to fairly go
wild with JOY over the action and the SEN
timent Of the play. While they cheer en-
Enthusiastically all that pleases them, it Is a
noticeable feature of their conduct that
they do not hiss or qroan at the pro-Rus-

their foes. WILL II. BRILL.
