japanese boy with long black
hair arrived in New York.
New York had never heard of him
and he knew no one in the big
city. Within that short time, how
ever. no has directed the produce
ton Of one Of tho most successful
plays on Broadway and has established
. reputation for himself as a dancer,
which IL doing rather well considering
his standing start. Michio Itow IL the
dancer. "Bushido" is the play. II IL
the feature Of the present bill Of the
Washington Square Players at the
Comedy Theatre.
II was more or less natural that ne
should have fallen in with the WASH
inston Square Players. The beginning
Of his eventful dramatic career was
with . similar little group Of serious
thinkers in Toxic. They called them
selves the "Toride.' or Little Castle
Players. They were quite ambitious
and produced not only japanese plays
but attempted some Of the French,
English. German. Russian and Belgian
suthors, including Maeterlinck.
Six years ago. however. he decided
that the limitations Of the japanese
stsge were too narrow for him, SO the
japanese schoolboy packed his port
manteau and strobe out into the world
determined to know Just about all
there Is to know about the stage.
Armed with his trusty note book. such
as all orthodox Japanese sc~hoolboys
carry, he headed for Berlin. where his
brother was an attache Of the Imperial
Japanese Embassy. 1t was In Berlin
that he had his first view Of the Occi-
dental stage and there were many jot-
tings In the note book because the i'm.
'pressions no doubt were fresh and
vivid.
In Berlin he saw Isadora Duncan
dance. There Is a person who Is
doing the kind OF dancing l would like
to do" he said to himself. He sought
the advice Of his friends. who told him
that before he would be prepared to do
intcrpretative dancing he would have
10 understand Western music. which Is
quite different from Japanese music.
He sought and obtained entrance
into the Delacroix School in Dresden,
where seventeen other n~ationalities

For two years he was an ardent and
devoted student Of Western music.
with particular reference to harmony
and rhythm. He also sought every
opportunity to study dancing in all
Its forms from vaudeville to the ballet.
He spent his vacations In travelling
over Europe and storing away in his
note book and his active mind points

ballots.
From Dresden he went to Leipsic.

explosion. Experts from various sec.

DON'T UNDERSTAND
CAMPAIGN ISSUES
Senator Chiffon Calls Repub
lican Orators 'Mossbacks'
at Court House.

There are many issues of the pres
emit campaign that do not under.
stand" stated Senator William e. Chill.
ton last night in his speech at the
court house and then he went on and
talked about the issues and conclu.
sively and easily proved his statement.
Local political audiences do not care
to hear hard luck story IL the man.
ner in which the audience behaved last
night can be taken aa an indication.
While the Senator was in tho midst Of
his most fanciful pathetic pictures OF
the poor native West Virginian many
Of the men in the bach OF the room
got up and left. This was rude and
thoughtless but they left nevertheless.
Whether they had tired Of the mono.
tonous maudlln and sanctimonious
manner of tho Senator'S delivery or
whether they did not like as "The
present prosperity Of the country is
due to the Underwood Bill" or the
sweeping assertion that Republican
orators are mossbacks" % not known.
Yet with all Of that the Senator had
a crowd out to hear linn. To be sure
the crowd was not az enthusiastic
one; they had sat through so many
such speeches they almost knew Just
what he would say before he said It
and we're ready with the half hearted
applause before he had finished his
sentence. This robbed the address Of
interest to his hearers. The expert
enced Nicely club which has been a
faithful Democratic audience for the
entire campaign was responsible for
the fine showing made at the meeting.
The Senator pulled out the tremulo
stops and described his party with all
the fervor Of country minister max
ing a prayer. He likened Wilson to
Washington, Jefferson. jackson and
Lincoln and then with a sob in his
voice asked the assemblage to THANK
God for this man who has saved his
country"
Finding that his audience would
stand for most anything the Senator
pulled this one mot an ounce Of Am.

Why Elephants Fear Mice.

1t seems almost Incredible that so
small and harmless an animal as a
mouse Is able to frighten an elephant
almost out of his senses, yet one little
mouse in the hay Oh which they are
feeding will stampede an entire herd.
In the elephants native land there
are little animals known as chacanas,
which feed Oh a small sour berry OF
which elephants are very fond.
They live In settlements, something
after the manner q prairie dogs, IN
der the berry bushes, and sometimes.
when feeding, the elephants trample
upon the little towns, and the chaca-
mas in their fright frequently run up
the tubes of the elephants trunks
Their long, sharp claws catch in the
flesh. and they cannot be elected.
The more violently the monster blows
through It's trunk the more firmly the
hooked claws of the little animal be-
come Embedded In the flesh, and in
fammatiou and death are the result
In captivity. therefore. the elephants
think they are In danger of the deadly
chacanas when they see mouse uud
show signs of great fear.
