1.-THE No." JAPANESE
DRAMA, DISCUSSED
Subject of Lecture Before National
Geographic Society by Mrs.
Elsie Blattner.
MUSIC is ONLY SECONDARY

THE Nc" the classic drama of Japan.
was the theme of a lecture given by
Mrs. Elsie Blattner, assisted by her
daughter, Miss Clara Blattner, before the
National Geographic Society at the New
Masonic Temple yesterday afternoon and
evening. Six years residence in Japan,
the greater part of which was spent in
close study Of the Japanese drama and
literature, enabled Mrs. Blattner TO
speak with authority on her subject. The
lecture was illustrated with pictures
taken from life.
Mrs. Blattner said that in THE No" the
music is secondary, in that respect dif-
fering from the opera of the West, where
everything is subordinated to the music.
I'm The No." continued the speaker,
the chorus is never personal, and the
dramatic action is very slight, as II Is
more epic in thought The No" resembles
somewhat the passion, or miracle, plays
Of the medieval age. The leading fea-
ture in The No is the dance. As con-
Ceived by Orientals the dance is alto
gether different from the dance of the
West, where it is mainly used as an
expression Of JOY. In the Orient the
dance had its origin in a religious rite.
1t not only expresses joy, but every other
emotion. The No" begins with a religious
ceremony and is the entertainment of
the aristOcratic and cultured classes The
privilege of playing in The No is re-
served to a special class Of actors, who
are better educated and more cultured
than the actors of the ordinary stage"
Miss Blattner demonstrated a number
Of No dances, giving her own ac-
compartment by singing in Japanese.

ANACOSTIA RESIDENTS
BESIEGE EXCISE BOARD
Scores Appear to Protest Against
Transfer of Keane Liquor
License.
BOYCOTT USED, 1T IS DECLARED

Scores of Anacostians appeared before
the excise board yesterday afternoon 10
protest the grant Of an application by
Maurice Keane for the transfer of his
saloon license from 2O6 Ninth street
northwest to 1S17-19 Good Hope road
Charles w. Burr. president OF the Ana
costa Citizens Association; the pastors
from three of the community's leading
churches, and a number of prominent
business men were among the protest
ants.
A. W. Taylor stated that he was forced
10 go out Of business because he would
not sign the petition.
The hearing was long and tedious. 1t
was not adjourned until long after the
supper hour. A large number of wit
nesses were examined by the board. and
a petition and a great many letters were
read into the hearings minutes So
many were present at the hearing that
the board held the meeting in the Com
missioners' board room. A. L. Shoe
maker. attorney for the Anti-Saloon
League, declared to the board members
that fully 80 per cent OF the residents
of Anacostia are opposed to the estab-
lishment of saloons in their section OF
the city. Mr. Shoemaker said:
"The churches of Anacostia, the lead
ing business men of that community, its
citizens association, and by far the
greater part of all its residents are Bit
terly opposed to this transfer, which is
being asked by Mr.. Keane because he
sees that in the future, when saloons on
Eleventh street have been abolished &C
cording to the provisions of the excise
law. the people of this neighborhoOd
would flock across the bridge into Ana
costa to crafty their appetites. If there
Is a saloon there"
