THE BUDDHA OF THE HILLS
The Buddha of the Hills the
Japanese play presented on Wednes-
day and Thursday nights Of this week
by the Footlights, was written by Mrs.
Frederick Ohrt, member Of the club,
and especially adapted to the japanese
garden OF DR.. and Mrs. Charles Adams.
The play consisted of five pictures or
episodes, strung together by a slender
love plot. Three of the pictures
showed Buddha en- his rock seat in
the hills receiving petitions for help
from all the several characters In turn
the irate father, the distressed moth.
err, the frightened daughter who has
fled to her lover, the anxious lover /
himself. The other two pictures show !
the home Of the father. Kitogaya. the
last being a wedding sceue during
which geisha dance takes place very
gracefully Gitosan, the daughter, who
was to have married the wealthy but
aged Imuramura, from the town

these two,are taken under the partic

pursuing father and samurai Imura-
mura insisting that substitute couple
be married that he may not be taunt-
I'd with having attended no marriage
least after all, results in Kitosan and
her lover being united in her fathers
house without either Kitugaya or lmu-
-amura realizing her presence. The
asst scene shows Buddha's smile. He
has known all and IL satisfied.
The setting which is indescrlbably
ovely, a real bit Of Japan with
bridges, pines. waterfall and hills
ind the gorgeous costumes, which
Miss Ruth Andersen SO ably selected
or the characters. made the play
something TO be remembered. The
Tub feels itself particularly indebted
o Mrs. Ohrt VINO directed the rehears-
lis, ana to Dr. and Mrs. Adams for
he use OF theis charming place.
