might be denied the privilege of witnessing
the tuneful Japanese comic opera. The
Mikado,' at the National Theater this
week, and the famous Gilbert and Sullivan
composition would be laid on the shelf.
This is what happened In London less than
a month ago. That the suppression Of The
Mikado'' was anything but pleasing to
music-lovers abroad was attested by the
great excitement attendant upon the action
Of the lord chamberlain, and the many
threats that followed his final action.
And all this trouble in London came from
the fact that few japanese high officials
were visitors at the time Of the proposed
"Mikado' revival, took offense at the pro-
posed production, made plea for suppress
sion, and were successful in having the
opera kept from the stage during the time
that England was acting as their host
During the visit of Prince Fushimi of
Japan the loyal subjects of King Edward
were denied the pleasure Of seeing The
Mikado" for fear the imperial Jap and his
staff might be offended by 1t.
The really funny side of The Mikado'
story concerns an Irish playgoer in London,
who came forth and upheld the Celtic repu
tation for wit by Kidding his English
cousins about this subject. The Irishman

compeers to also taboo Hamlet and not
permit it on the London stage, for Dem

and in shakespeare's play. Hamlet a

Delicious as is this piece of humor the
| part of the Irishman, perhaps he, too, is
| taking a great chance with the powers that
be, for they may take him seriously and go
on indefinitely suppressing every stage pro-
duction that reflects in the least upon any
friendly nationality. Such a course, as

she will naturally challenge comparison

waving merrily. and the silent walters were
busily serving food and pouring drinks. But

MISS IIERNES LAST WEEK.-MRS.
Chrystal Herne, leading woman of the
Edwin Arden company at the Belasoc
Theater, who has made so many friends
during her stay in Washington, will say a
regretful adieu at the Belasco Theater Sat
urday night, for she must leave the COM
pany to prepare for her own starring tour
early next season. under the management
of Charles Dillingham;. Miss Herne came
to Washington knowing that she could only
spend few weeks here, she must take
rest before beginning rehearsals of her
new play, The Stepchild.' which is to be
launched as her stellar vehicle by Mr.. Dill
lingham early In September. The re-
hearsals will begin in New York August
1, and Miss Herne will only have a brief
vacation of six weeks. which she will
spend at her summer home at Southamp-
ton, Long Island. Mr.. Dillingham; an

PRONOUNCING A TITLE.-One of the
hardest titles for the average theatergoer to
pronounce Is ''Divorcons, the name of the
Sardou comedy which Edwin Arden will
present at the Belasco Theater this week
Most French titles are either translated lit
orally or adapted when the plays are
changed into English, but it was exceeding
ly difficult to get good title for this play
literal translation of the title night be
called Let Us Be Divorced" but this is
cumbersome and misleading, because the
real theme of the play is opposed to divorce
Tie entire three acts of the comedy are de-
voted to pointing out the evils and absurd
ity of divorce, and the play ends with the
reconciliation of the couple who had con-
sidered divorce. 1t is also misleading to call
the title simply Divorce" Another play
with the same title had considerable vogue
some years ago The only thing to do.

SOME PRACTICAL GIFTS
FOR SMART JUNE WEDDINGS

Next in Importance after the brides
trousseau In the details of a wedding
should be the selection of marriage gifts
That they are not always considered es-
sential is evinced by the number of du-
plicates and inappropriate presents usu-
ally received by newly married couples
The conventional articles. as every one
knows, are cut glass. silverware and hand
some bric-a- brac. and so the chances are
that these may be duplicated many times
i know bride who received eight water
pitchers, and one piece of statuary that
was so entirely out of keeping with the
rest of the furnishings OF the new home
that 1t marred rather than added beauty
to the brides dainty drawing room.
OF course, when the wedding takes place
among those in moderate circumstances
a certain number of useful gifts will al
ways be welcomed. and when these are
made by the relatives or immediate friends
of the interested parties there can be no
mistake of duplicating or of Offering I'M
desirable presents. for family councils may
be held and the subject OF giving freely
and openly discussed, always keeping in
view the needs and the tastes of the re-
cipients. In this way there will be no
heartburnings on the part of the donor at
a Sighted wedding gift, and no disappoint-
ment on the part of the bride, SO often
happens when she views her array of
presents. smiingly, of course but who
would gladly sweep them all away If she
could and choose her own belongings.
Friends outside the family cannot of
course. be consulted; still IL does seem too
bad that SO many of the pretty articles
that might bring genuine pleasure should
be overlooked, and only, perhaps, for want
Of thought.
Possibly it has not occurred to the minds
OF most people that a bride would prefer
something more individual than the con-
ventional wedding presents. Perhaps she
has long envIed an odd-looking 'one-of-a-
kind belt or necklet as being beyond her
pocketbook. Now, this probably will cost
no more than the contemplate bit of cut
glass. but, given instead, 1t Will bring in
