IOne NOguchi Tells What Japan
Believes About the "Drama
of Silence"
sp,c,a' co,responsencr 10 Ting sr~

LoSpoN, March :O.--ioue Nocuchi de-
lVored lecture recently At the Royal
Asiatlc Societys rooms on the Drama Of
silence or as IT is known IN Japan. the
"No" drama.
lie pointed out that nifty Years ago
N. NO" drama, which Was founded n
the early fourteenth century. was passing
through period of neglect. But to-day
there Is Il strong revival Of the art. which
~ IN effect religious act of spiritual
contemplation. Buddhistic In It's origin,
in which the audience, or what Mr. No
gurhi called the appr-clators, take their
part as well as the actors. The stage is
never larger than % feet square, and
the scenery IL of the simplest The or
chestra consists of flute and two tam
bourines. and besides the three or four
acting characters, one OF whom IL often n
dancer. a chorus. drawn up IN two rows
with their side faces to the audience
helps in the Interpretation OF tho play.
There are about 300 of these mo" plays
In existence. They deal largely with the
connection between mankind and the ami
NAL and vegetable worlds and reflect the
tragedy rather than the lighter side of
life. The audience. who may be pro-
yided with books In which they can fol-
low the story. listen TO them or rather
watch their action in absolute silence {.
and even the actors rarely speak their
words. To know them by heart so as 10
be able TO rccite them and still more TO
have played them upon the stage In in
Japan the ambition of the properly edu-
Gated man. Yet though they are thus a
part OF the education OF Japan as well
AZ OF It's art, their real value lies in their
spirituality and In the silent magnetic
intercommunion OF thought and ideal be-
tween actors and audience.
In simplicity OF stage effect and stage
trapp ngs some approach has been made
OF late years in this country to this par
ticular aspect of the spirit OF the mo
drama. and the virtues OF contemplation
have long been recognized IN some OF
the monasteries OF the Western World
But not even Granville Barker has az We,
| attempted to carry contemplation into the
| theatre to the extent of flling the audi
torium with rows Of silent "appreciators "
| ON the other hand. London has for a
long time been moved by the Russian bal.

to applause during the performance OF his
plays,

PARIS March 2s-Miss Bessie Van Worst.
the American writer. has contributed sew
eral articles to the Gdulots on the failure
Of feminism In the United States. Ac-
cording 10 Miss Van Worst the women on
the other side OF the Atlantic are cold
pacific and conscientious. They have
elaborated a programme from which pas
sion IL excluded. Their creed Ia tota'iy
opposite TO that OF their English sisters.
The latter employ violence TO modify the
laws to their benefit, while American
women seek to transform In \ radical
manner the attitude OF man toward
woman.
Referring to the American girls en-
ployed In Offices. Miss Van Worst denies
that the treatment accorded to them Is
due to personal charm. saying that men
In Wall Street often prefer TO have as
women employees those who have been
less favored than others in the matter
of looks She contends that II IL due
10 woman's lack OF initiative and her
contentment that she remains in the same
employ mcnt while men indulge In amOition
and seek to rise In the world.

| Miss Van Worst SAYS that during the

! United states the feminist has been fact
i rather than theory. Almost every

! originated In feminine intervention. The
American woman now confounds cause and
effect Exceptional conditions have
Obliged her to Undertake new tasks and
/ because of this she takes herself for a

somewhat her male companion. When
civilization has fully ripened American
