F THE two principal theaters
I I of Tokyo the Imperial and
V the more Japanese Kabukizu
the former Is, as a build
ing und in the auditorium absolute
ly European In style and modeled
avowedly after the Vienna operu
house, ut ull events in front, and Is as
clean as a hospital behind the scenes
nnd In the dressing rooms, as was re
marked by a Tokyo university profes
sor who accompanied me, writes Percy
Burton In the Boston Transcript.
There I was Introduced to the star
then playing, Kikugoro, scion of a the
atrical stock, uctor with a pedigree as
distinguished as the Drews or the Ir
vings, and who welcomed nie as graci
ously as either might have done nnd
received my compliments paid him
through tlie Interpretation of the Im
presario with a modesty worthy of
Forbes-Kobertson himself. Covering
his breast, which lie revealed without
shame on the stage, he bowed with
that delightful self-depreciation and
sibilant Inhalation which Is so marked
a characteristic of the educated and
ever-deferent Japanese.
I was disappointed at the first visit
I had paid to the Imperial theater in
Tokyo by seeing 11 very indifferent
German picture play, the only novelty
being the lecturer or Interpreter, who
preceded or followed every action by
a recitative, as is the rule both In the
movies or "shakes" and drama alike,
for th" Japanese are accustomed to a
Greek chorus from time Immemorial.
Revolving Stage Used for Ages.
It may be news to many that the re
volving stage lias been in use with
them for literally hundreds of years.
So has the "hunumlcho" or "flower
path," as the runway is called, and
rarely seen here except in a musical
pltiy, though It is a necessary adjunct
of almost every drama, in Japan. The
performances have been getting com
inendably shorter of recent years and
now usually start at 5:30 in the after
noon und end between 11 nnd mid
night, most of the natives taking their
fowl uuil children with them, or get
ting what nourishment they need be
tween the acta (a restaurant being u
necessary adjunct to the auditorium),
the rising generation getting their own
direct from their mother's breast dur
ing the action of the play.
. Nor does the scenery leuve much
if anything to be desired, both interior
nnd exterior scenes being on realistic
lines and wonderfully well designed,
und executed. One, In fact, of a bam
boo grove, witli rashes, waving and
whistling in (lie wind, nnd with Hew
ing water, I have not seen excelled.
Sometimes, it is. true, u carpenter com
ing on with a hammer will destroy
the Illusion of a scene if it Is not quite
finished when the circular stage re
volves. It is difficult also for an oc
cidental ever to become quite accus
tomed to the supposedly invisible
"properly man," who, like little Jnck
Horner, stands with his back to the
audience until his presence is required
on tile scene to provide an essential
detail or regulate the folds of the hero
or heroine's dress, after which he re
lapses Into his former state of "In
visibility." Long Bill U Offered.
The Japanese audience expects full
value fur Its money, for n little goes
a long way with the native, ami usu

length and style are performed on a

In the Wrong Place.
There are men today who are wrecks
because they are droning their lives
nvay in a city bank when their whole
nature demands life on the farm. There
are farmers who would make splendid
brokers. They are miserable, dissatis
fied, and even III on the farm. There
are failures In law offices who could
build first-cloas automobiles. There is
here In Houston a waiter In a restau
rant who COUld sell a pair of gold spec
tacles to a blind man. They are all
out of place and they know It. But
they do not know where or how to
remedy the matter. And with the
years cunie dissatisfaction with life,
worry, Illness perhaps, and hopeless

made Just that way. They are not al

Suffered Fsoi Bagughe and
Kidney Trouble for Years.
Dear Headers I wish to tell yon
that I suffered from backacke and
kidney trouble for years. I heard of
Doctor Pierce's Anuric Tablets and I
tried them. They cured my backache.
I hope people that are troubled with
backache will give them a good trial.
I am sure they will not fail to benefit.
Yours sincerely,
Mas. Geo. Pkmino.
Note: Folks in town and adjoining
places are delighted with the results
they have obtained by nsing "ANURIC,"
the newest discovery of Dr. Pierce, who
is bead of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, in Buffalo, N. Y.
Those who started the day with a back
ache, stiff legs, arms ana muscles, and
an aching head (worn out before the
day began because they were in and out
of bed half a dozen times at night ) are
appreciating the perfect rest, comfort
and new strength they obtained from
Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets. To prove
that this is a certain uric acid solvent
and conquers headache, kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism, if
you've never nsed the "Anuric," cut
this ont and send ten cents to Doctor
Pierce for a large sample package. This
will prove to you that "Anurio" is
thirty - seven times more active than
lithia in eliminating nric acid and the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector. If yon are a sufferer, go to your
best druggist and ask for a 60-cert box
of "Anuric." You run no risk for Dr.
Pierce's good name stands behind this
wonderful new discovery as it has for
the past half centnry for his "Golden
Medical Discovery" which makes the
Wood pure, his "Favorite Prescription"
for weak women and his "Pleasant
Pellets" for liver ills. All Dr. Pi?rce'(
medicines can bo had in Tablet foio
