PRINCESS MOONLIGHT.
Origin Of the Firehies a. the Tale
l. PrettiIy Related in Ja-
panese Folklore.


Once upon a time, many centuries ago.
a woodchopper. returning at dusk from
his long days labor. saw, as he passed
through the forest, a soft shining light
on a bamboo branch.
Surprised. he FASTENED toward It, and
found there a tiny baby girl. surrounded
By a radiance like moonlight
Now. this woodchopper and his wife
were often sad because they had no lit
ts one OF their own, and the baby was
carried TO their humble home, where
you may be sure she had the most loving
attention.
She grew rapidly. and the light that
the woodchopper had seen around her
when he found her in the forest grew
brighter. until at night the whole cot
tage was filled with its glow.
II even shone through the paper
screens that formed three Of the opposite
walls Of the cottage-for all this hap
pened in Japan. where the houses are
made Of bamboo and paper screens.
People called the little girl by the
pretty name of Princess Moonlight, for,
as they saw the light about her increase.
they knew that she must be a moon
child.
The woodchopper and his wife felt
very sad. They knew that IL was not
often that a moon child came to the
earth. and that when n did 1t was
Obliged to go back to Mother Moon when
20 years old.
Years passed. and Princess Moonlight,
now a lovely young woman, sat on the
veranda one dark night, shedding a soft
light all about her.
II happened that that very night the
emperor and his courtiers were return
ing from a days sport in the forest.
Afar of they saw what seemed like
moonlight. and, filed with wonder, they
went TO see what IL could be, for the
moon would not be up for several hours
When the emperor beheld the beauti-
ful maraen in the midst OF the light he
fell in love with her at once. and begged
her to be his wife, But, alas though the
princess loved him dearly, she knew that
she neve could be his queen, and that IN
three days she must leave the earth
forever.
The emperor was filled with grief when
she explained to him that she was a
moon child. and he sent his eourtiers
home; but he stayed with the princess
dreading to leave her for even a single
hour. knowing how soon he must part
fr,m her forever
The last night came all too quickly
and Mother Moon sent down her moon
beams that were TO carry the princess
away. The emperor clasped his arms
about her. and, though he held her hrm-
". the moonbeams drew her away IRON
him. Up. she floated, her tears falling
hack to earth all the way, until she was
folded close to the heart of Mother Moon
Rut from every tear that fell back te
earth wings sprang, and the shinint
tears few here and there, looking toi
the emperor. and still are they search
ing for him, though he died, an old man
long e And people call those tear
~irefiies.

Past and Future


The theatrical view this week is more
future than past. Mr. Drew's perform
ance in The Second IN Command" was
not new to Washington. Mr. DeAngelis
was not much of a success IN the TOrea-
dor" the minst-els at the Lafayette did
not earn their self-descriptiOn as mas
todon," and Chase's bill was overshad-
owed artistically by the prospect Of YES
ia Tnley.
Enough was written OF Mr.. Drew s
engagement last Sunday and Tuesday.
II should be said again, though, that
this actor is one OF the best technicists
on the stage, that THE Second IN Com
mand' is another play like Lord and
Lady Algy" which IS worth continuing
from season TO season. and that his
company acts with unity and co-opera-
ton. Even THE Mummy and the Hum
ming Bird" which Mr.. Drew's admirers
rated as a second-grade work. is better
than many Of the rev plays produced
this season
''Everyman" at the Columbia will
prove &c be one Of the most interesting
offerings Of the season. That may be
regarded as assured. 1t is an old moral
ity play. 1t IS produced as nearly as pos
sible as in the days Of its first use, and
-1ieve the reliable critics Of other cities.
However. It viii not do TO anticipate
the criticism Of Tuesday.
Miss Marlowe makes her temperance
in one OF the most marked recent sue
cesses. Her embodiment Of Parthenia
In 'Ingomar" Will weigh more artistical-
~ than her performance Of When
KnIghthood Was in Flower" notwith-
standing that the latter is played four
nights and 'Ingomar" only twice.
