Real Geisha Girls.

WHILE one of the most famous
groups OF dancers In the world
the Geisha girls of Japan are perhaps
the least known In the United States.
Celebrated authors have written OF
the beauty and artistry of the oeisha
girls and their dances, yet none of these
girl artists has ever been imported to this
country. although Spanish, Russian and
French terpsichorean tastes have been
a feature OF our stages for years.
OF particular interest, therefore, Is
the appearance In Washington this
week OF motion picture which con-
tatns views of the dances of uelsha
girls. This film, "A Romance OF
Japan" is said to be the first entirely
Japanese production ever to be shown
in America.
