JAPAN HOTEL SIMILAR
TO THAT AT CANYON

1.-THE Imperial hotel at Toxic is
almost an exact replica of the Can
yon hotel of Yellowstone National
park" said L. Kanaya. owner of the
Kanaya hotel of Nikko. Japan. and
one of the officials of the hotel COM
pany owning a string of Japanese
hotels of which the famous Imperial
is a part.
According to the visitor, the i'm
mense lobby of the Canyon hotel is
identical with that of the Imperial,
the latter having been built sup
posedly on oriental plans, at an
enormous cost, and with express
ideas of being different from any
other hotel in the world.
The Canyon hotel of the Yellow
stone was built fifteen years ago,
the plans of which were furnished
by an architect of the Pacific north
west. Undoubtedly. the Yellowstone
Park Hotel company can establish
of the plans.
Both hotels are the show places
of their respective settings, the Can
yon offering many ultra modern
conveniences only found in the
greater hotels of America. The I'M
perial is the best which can be
found in Japan, and with both. the
companies are singular in that they
are offering to their guests metro
politan services and hostelries UNI
usually fine for the settings in which
they are placed.
Kanya spent several days in Vel
lowstone, and although he remarked
upon the wonders of nature, he was
more explicit in his appraisal of the
hotels, service and transportation
facilities. The ease with which
tourists were shown about this great
park was a matter which appealed
to the visitor.
Application of modern conven-
fences to the hotels of Japan. es-
pecially those of American plans,
without losing the atmosphere of
the Japanese methods. is the main
issue OF his ten months tour of the
United States and Europe, accord
ing to Mr.. Kanaya, who will leave
this country shortly for Europe, re-
turning later through the Suez canal
to his native country.

SUNDAY MUSIC
MAYFL0WER
PLAN
Light Opera Program Feature
of Sabbath Evenings for
Charming Hotel

Sunday evening concerts featur-
ing the finest of modern music are
being planned by Director Spencer
Tupman, director of the Spencer
Tupman Mayflower Orchestra, as a
special attraction at the Hotel
Mayflower during the fall and win
ter months.
I'VE receive so many requests
to play selections from light operas
and for the lighter sort of modern
music" said Director Tupman,
that / feel sure a Sunday evening
concert featuring this type of
music would have a very wide ap-
peal to cosmopolitan Washington.
Fine concert music and the best
type of light operate work are
always received enthusiastically"
Artists from New York will be
brought down as special soloists to
supplement the work of the band
at these concerts, it is planned.
Special emphasis was laid by Di-
rector Tupman on the lightness and
brilliancy of the music to be
featured.
Fine music does not necessarily
have to be of the heavy classic
type or hard to understand" he
said Thus, the music of the
'Chauve Souris' is thoroughly de-
Eghtful, gay, and charming but,
at the same time, very good music
from the viewpoint Of the musician
and connoisseur. This is the spirit
OF the entertainment We want to
present, and which, I am sure, is
really needed in Washington"

This will be Mr.. McCauley's for
NAL introduction to Alexandria

there, as an adjunct of his Wash

He had an interesting CORE
spondence recently with a writer
who quoted Bruno Lessing's argu-
ment as to what the public likes
in an article printed in The Wash

Jack Dempsey VS.. Einstein.
His unknown writer cited the
banjo as a low form of art in
music" Mr.. McCauley accepts
the challenge by replying:
"Listen-in on Monday evening
on WCAP, when broadcast a
tenor banjo solo with a sixty.five
piece brass band. 1t is just such
criticism. given without correct
knowledge, that always do harm
