IN A YOKOHAMA THEATER.

The Plays Last All Day and Some
times Two Days.
Before leaving Yokohama l went to
the theater, which certainly was unlike
anything have ever seen before. We
sat on the floor of our so called box
and had tea like the crowd. And such
a crowd 1t was an endless source of
interest and amusement to watch
them, whole NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and daughters-in-law, children of all
ages and parents Of different genera
lions, fathers, sons and grandsons. All
had their dinners with them. Little
trays were productivity boxes full
Of rice, bowls containing weird food
stuffs, pink. white and green; seaweed
on rice cakes, raw, fish and nameless
yellow condiments, tea In microscopic
cups, of course, with no milk or sugar.
The Japanese cannot understand Eu-
ropeans putting milk in their tea, as,
according to them, 1t has a strong
smell The children were dressed and
undressed during the entr'actes, and
people smoked, slept, ate, talked and
famed themselves. 1t was certainly q
great contrast to see a little "musme"
such as Pierre Lott describes, daintily
dressed in the gayest of kimonos and
smartest of obs, sitting between a
cody wearing nothing but loose cot
ton jacket and an old bag nursing q
baby. Although it was true that most
Of the men had little on and the Their
mometer was So degrees, the atmos-
phere was not impossible, as l am
sure would have been the case in a
European theater under similar circum-
stances. The plays have usually four
teen or fifteen acts and last all day and
sometimes two. This particular one,
not having an actress such as Sadi
Yacco to interpret 1t, was quite unin-
telligible to me, but l admired the
grace of the actresses, their easy move
ments when dancing and the way they
managed their tight clothes. Imagine
my surprise when l found out after
ward that they were all men! Up to
few years ago men and women did
not act together in japan. the thea
trical companies being composed Of
either one sex or the other. But a
change has come over them, and there
are now mixed companies. -Reminis-
cences of Lady Randolph Churchill In
