japanese actress, who is now in Lon-
don, has written and viii shortly per-
form a One-act dream play" the main
feature of which is an extraordinary
series Of illusions or visions.
The theme of the play is the doc

passing through a variety of phases,
finally becomes f'nirVana." or the drop

viduality and becomes extinct. The
process by which the state of nfrvana
is arrived at IS called dhyana, and is
simply a series Of ecstasies or tTances

Two stage incidents OF Sunday had
to do with the art and the etiquette of
the stage. One was d performance of

excellent art satisfied the demand for
it. So they were stranded 4 long way
from home. and there are no railway
ties to count across the Atlantic. Ole
neff asked the actress who is Maxim

a Sunday repetition of THE Abyss -

The typical New Yorker feels that
the best SCAT in the house is none too
good for him. If there is something on
a stage before a two-dOllar parquet
that he can't wait to see, he may go
UP to the gallery at a cheaper rate;
but usually he will bide his time until
that very same thing gets before a one
dollar paTqUet. That is why a con-
siderable proportion of New Workers
spend all their theatre money on first
class entertainments in second-class
houses, leaving none for such good but
not best satisfactions as Mildred HoI-
lands acting in Theodore Kremer's
comedy That condition shuts out
large quantity of amusement that in
quality is between the brands Of
broadway and ''Bowery."
A problem drama I'm black and white.
"COlOT Blind is out against The
CIansman." The Rev. Walter Haight
stands forth to fight the Rev. Thomas
Dixon. Much ado and many dollars
have been made by Dixon with his play
representing negroes at the south as
dangerous to society. Haight would
like to do as much by depicting ne
groes at the north as endangered by
society. TIE author of Color Blind
IS of the African race, and so were the
actors of his play-more or less. for
in hUes they shaded off from black to
the brown of the hero and the creamy
white of the heroine. The audience. in
a small theatre used by amateur dra-
matte societies. was similarly diver
sified in color. with a few white spots.
The play began with an Othello

Cuban war. and a Desdemona who was

blonde heroine at a fashionable reCep-
ton in Havana. and they loved at

point the author put in his best ticks
for his race by making the girl say.
