Marquis HirObumi Ito Is one of the

warriors. He was born in the province
OF Chosu in 1910 and came into the DO

needed a progressive man.
He was educated at the Japanese
schools and early became a student of
statecraft. At the age Of twenty-four
he represented his government in nego-
tiations by which Japan was made to
pay large indemnity for the murder
of foreigners because Of an uprising
in which Count Inouye, a lifelong
friend and political fellow, took part.

But clearly the theater going public
needs waking. Perhaps the roar from
the pit will revive them from the SEEM
ingiy interminable sleep into which a
large number of the weak, inexcusable
productions Of the season have plunged
them.
AS Wilton Lackaye said in his speech
the opening night, 1.-THE PITT celebrates
the details of two phases Of American
life today-the tendency toward over
speculation and habit many otherwise
we'll trained husbands have Of sacrific-
Ing the interests Of their wives on the
altar OF business demands. The two
morals are plainly presented He who
runs may read, and from now on that
great institution, the American home,
should benefit from the lesson and be-
come nothing short of IDEAL And as
for Mr.. Lackaye and his associates
we'll, they should be enrolled as the
only original matrimonial mission
aries.
Mr.. Lackaye rings true note in his
characterizati ton. He fits into the role
of the plunging, determined specula
tor. The fever Of the pit burns in his
veins; the destinations Of the throbbing,
restless market, its reverses, its sue
cesses, lure him ON. Even love cannot
hold him In check, and, like many an
other, Curtis Jadwin goes down to ruin.
Like few others, however. his ruin
proves his making. paradoxical though
this may seem.

peats the good work that has won her
favor In the past. Her role is emotion
