The japanese Theatre. ' I as ss- Xi i If ERHAPS no experience in the Land of the Rising Sun is I more interesting to the foreigner than a visit to one of the - native theatres. In the audience he sees Japanese life N and character as it is, and from tl1e play he learns some- thing of the ideal heroes of japanese history and romance. ,I-'diff I had been in Japan only a month when Danjuro. the Edwin Booth of the japanese stage, came to Tokyo to fill an engagement at one of the leading theatres of the city. Of course l took an early opportunity of seeing this Oriental star. Iu- deed, smbzg meant much more to me than hearing, since my knowledge of the japanese language was limited to a few ordinary expressions used in dealing with jinrikisha runners and shop-keepers. Fortunately, a Japanese friend who spoke English quite fluently, offered to accompany me and act as interpreter. Seeing the play is an all-clay affair in Japan. Instead of dropping into the theatre for an hour or two after business hours are over, the easy- going Oriental cooly takes a whole day oil' for his theatre-going. All theatres open about ten o'clock in the morning and close at dark. Two or perhaps three plays may be presented in a day, but seldom more. Every theatre is surrounded by tea-houses and restaurants, which do a thriving business with the patrons of the theatre. Tea, fruit, light re- freshments, and entire dinners are brought into the theatre between the acts and served to the guests as they sit in their places. Not having the patience and endurance of an Oriental, 11or the palate of an Oriental which would enable me to enjoy a japanese dinner, I de- cided that an afternoon of the theatre would be quite enough for me. Accordingly, about two o'clock we alighted from our jinrikishas at the theatre entrance, removed our shoes, and followed a bowing attendant to the box reserved for 'us. All ideas of comfort that the word 'box' had called up in my mind were rudely dispelled when the attendant pushed aside one of the sliding panels of the auditorium wall and ushered us into an empty, carpeted pen little more than three 'feet square. separated from similar adjoining pens by wooden partitions about a foot high.
