THE STAGE

A real work of art Is the tandem
broidered curtain used by the Uyeno
troupe OF Japanese acrobats In their
act in the Miles theater, this week.
The embroidery is all of the finest
Japanese silk on background or
black velvet. II required several
months of painstaking labor to make
and cost close TO $4,000. The cos
tunes represent another large invest
ment. for they are quite as lavish as
the curtain. The Uyenos are all one
family. There are eight OF them,
father and seven children. Their
work is sensational and the cleverest
performers in the family are the
youngsters of the troupe. One OF
them is an exceptionally able contor-
zionist, and he invariably gets big
hand from the audience.
