An Artist Back Stage.

THE stage settings for the plays
presented at the National Theater
are reviving interest for the new sea.
son in Charles Squires, designer and
executor of all sets used by the Ma.
tional Players.
Mr.. Squires is something of a para
dox. He has the outlook and the flair
of an artist, and he also has the me-
chanical mind which is meticulous for
detail and accuracy. Not often are
these traits found harmonizing in one
person. Art Is the product of inspira-
ton. seldom the product of a mind
which functions with mathematical
precision.
ALIAS the Deacon" which the Play
ers offered last week. has a prologue
that calls for both interior and exte-
rior views Of q freight car. The stage
during the scene Is dim, and only one
small light makes visible the interior
of the car. Two canvas strips might
easily answer for the exteriors.
Squires is that much of an artist,
however, that he wouldn't take the
line of least resistance. He made a
replica in every detail of the outside
Of Burlington box car, and though
few in the audience could possibly see
these externals, he had the artists
pride of knowing his setting was au-
thentic. To get this authenticity he
went all the way to the railroad yards
at Alexandria and there sketched in
detail the model that was used for
his set.
This is his third season with the
National Players, and he knows more
about the rigging high atop the Ma.
tional stage than he does about the
comfortable seats out front.

Washington, the Capital of the United
States of America.
Perhaps it was necessity and per.
haps it was not. but whatever it may
have been, invention has come to our
aid i'm one respect, in the form and
powers of the Vitaphone.
We may not be able to hear the
great singers of the earth in their

Chicago and others that might be men,

be able to catch a picture of them on
the screen and to hear that picture

were to visit us in person. and also
within reach of the most modest of
pocketbooks.
We have had Martinelli and Gigli
and Anna Case and others less fa-

we are to have Charles Hackett, the
American tenor, who has delighted
and won the brightest laurels from
the rest of the world in an operate

the movie will ultimately make up
to us what the purveyors of the drama
have heretofore denied us. Who

DERHAPS no capital Of a nation in
the world has been so belittled in
various ways as has Washington, the
capital of these United States of
America.
Americans, as a rule more or less
proud of the accomplishments OF the
celebrities of the Nation, seem to have
had but little time to consider the
very heart of the Republic, their Ma
;!onal Capital.
This seeming neglect of the Nation
ut large, which now happily seems to
he disappearing, has been apparent
not only in politics, but in lines that
ordinarily more intimately concern the
people. The theatrical purveyors, for
instance, long have treated Washing
ION as a sort of tank town in the
itinerary of dramatic attractions, and
Grand opera for years left it entirely
off the map. like Norris Gest's pro-
duction of THE Miracle" for instance.
1t may be that we did not have the
money to pay. and, on the other hand.

was obscured by matters political.
However, we have never, thus far,

To Bring Japanese Opera

pills only the daughters of excellent
families. It's basis is a training
school, giving course of four years
Of general as we'll as dramatic and
musical instruction. Its repertory has
been built up by adopting classic
Japanese dramas to the operate
form. It's costumes and settings are
fabulously costly.
The home of the company, Takara-
zuka, is q mountain suburb Of the
rich manufacturing city of Osaka and
the site of celebrated hot springs. In
order to make 1t a festival center,
three theater buildings have been
erected for the use Of the company.
They vary in size. the largest Of which
seats 1000 people, a greater seating
capacity than any other theater in
the islands. Graduates Of the school.

THE far-fiung activities of F. Ray
Comstock and Morris Gest in
sponsoring the foremost artists Of the
worlds theaters on our own stage
seem destined to plunge farther to
the West than they have ever pene-
trated into the East. according to an
announcement by Mr.. Comstock that
his negotiations have reached an ad-
vanced stage with the TakaraZuka
Girls Opera Co. Of Osaka. Japan, for
an extended tour of this country.
With a view to expanding the
broad scope of the Theater Interna-
tional. as already realized through
Morris Gest's bringing to the United
States such masters Of foreign stages
as the Moscow Art Theater and its
Musical Studio, Balieff's Chauve-
Duse and Max Reinhardt and the in
ternational cast Of 1.-THE Miracle" Mr..
Comstock stopped off in Japan a year
ago on his trip around the world. to
canvass the leading Japanese theaters
and their dramatic and musical COM
panieS and to choose the one whose
work would have the greatest and
most novel appeal to American au-
diences.
This survey and numerous confer
ences by cable and in person have re-
suited in the tentative choice of the
TakaraZuka company to serve as the
first artistic diplomats from the Japa-
nese to the American people. Tat.
suya Kishida. general director of the.
company. has been in New York for
several weeks in consultation with
Mr.. Comstock. whom he has invited
to come to Osaka as the company's
guest in the early Fall to see the en-
tire repertory and choose the operas
most suitable to be brought to this
country. Mr.. Comstock will sail in
time to be in Osaka in October. when
final arrangements will be made for
the tour to begin later in the season.
The Takarazuka Opera Co. is a
comparatively recent development of
Japan's dramatic resources, but it has
sprung to the forefront and is already
credited with being the richest and
most popular theatrical organization
