    Japanese Actors
Reveal Arts of
Own Land
Examples of the latest develop
ment of the Japanese dramatic and
musical art will be presented by Mr.
and Mr*. Ongawa, Japanese actors,
tomorrow at 4 In the Brandels the
ater under the auspices of the Drama
league.
'The play, "The Fox Woman," is
based on one of the ancient legends
<11 Japan and has many of the char
acteristics of the old Japanese No or
"Ghost plays” which have profound
ly affected western theatrical art in
1 scent years. William B. Yeats and
many playwrights of the Little the
ater mC'vement have been Influenced
by the technique of these curious and
haunting productions. "The Fox
Woman," however, parallels some
what more closely the realistic
methods of the west. It draws Its
litle front a cunning red fox, that
has transformed Itself Into a woman,
and Is the evil genius of the play,
corresponding to the witch in west
ern legends.
The first half of the program will
consist of dances, acrobatics and
eongs, accompanied by music on
Japanese instruments, the gekkin and
the samisen. The first number is
Instrumental: "The Feast of Lan
terns,” a modern descriptive com
position suggesting the sounds and
gaiety of one of Japan's great night
festival*. Occidental* are only now
beginning to discover the music lore
of Japan and China, which has until
recently been confined to the homes
of the oriental aristocrats. This
"overture" will he followed by a
sword dance, "Kojlma Takanori," Il
lustrating an exploit of one of* the
heroes of Japanese history. The dance
will be accompanied on the sanisen.
Next will come “upside downs” or
acrobatics; an ancient love song,
"Moonlight and , Waves,” another
song, "Lady Picking Mulberries,”
and three folk dances. This part of
the program will be brought to a
close with a "fashion revue" of
Japanese costumes.
Grant Corps Presents Flag.
Arrangements to present a large
flag to the Old People's home will
be completed by women of the U. S.
Grant Woman's Relief corps at their
meeting at 1:30 this afternoon In Me
morial hall, courthouse. The Old
Guard post Is Invited.
This will he the second flag pre
sented by this corps, which on Lin
coln's birthday gave a large silk flag
to the kindergarten department of
the Pacific school. The corp* will
be guests at a program given by the
children of this school Friday at 10.

Pachmann Plays
Final Concert
.% .— -
Vladimir da Pachman, pianist, Is
presented by the Tuesday Musical
club In a concert at the Brandels
theater Thursday evening, March 6,
which will be the closing number of
their series. Be, Pachman informs
the world genially every few minutes
that he la 75 years old nnd did not
really learn to play until he was 70.
He has evolved a new method of
playing which, he says enables him
to give a long and arduous program
without fatigue, although it some
what limits his repertoire.
It Is stated on no less an authority
than that of de Pachmann himself
that he Is a greater pianist than
Franz Liszt. Critics concede him a
remarkable suavity of tone and ac
cord him a very high rank as an In
terpreter, especially of Chopin.
Omaha Young Woman
“Tells the World.”
Omaha has a charming woman who
is literally "telling the world.” Mrs.
H. D. Jolley, formerly professor in
Journalism at Omaha University, re
turned last week from New York City
where she addresagd 1,000 cleaners
and dyers in National convention. She
spoke to them on a woman’s point of
view In advertising.
"If ybur clients axa women, adver
tise with a woman’s appeal,” she ad
vised. "Always remember your custo
mer.”
Mrs. Jolley suggested that educa
tional matter be used instead of draw
ings of equipment which mean noth
ing to the average woman reader.
"Kducate instead of tooting your own
horn,” she said In part.
"Women should be taught that
clean clothes will last longer. A no
tion that has been handed down is
that anyone can clean clothes. The
dry cleaning process should be ex
plained to women, also the dangers
of gasoline vapors,” according to Mrs.
Jolley.
Mrs. Jolley went directly from New
York to Grand Island to speak to the
state convention in session there last
week. For more than a year she has
been national advertising representa
tive for cleaners and dyers and has
had phenomenal #nccess in her field.

Woman’s Club Will
Nominate; Hears
Hitchcock
Nominees for new officers ot the
Omaha Woman’s elnb will be decided
upon at a meeting of the nominating
committee this morning at Burgesa
Nash store. It was announced at the
open meeting yesterday afternoon by
Mrs. Philip Potter, president of the
club. /Election will lake place two
weeks from yesterday. The nominat
ing committee this year, as in previ
ous years, shall consist of the chair
men of departments and the heads
of standing Committee.'’, It was voted
by the club.
Mrs. John W. Gill was appointed
delegate ot the club to the biennial
national convention In May. replacing
Mrs. Philip Potter, who has an
nouncld that she cannot go.
Ejt-Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock,
speaker of the day, remained afar off
from political questions, but gave an
account of how business Is carried
on In the houso and senate. en
livened with anecdote's from his own
congressional experiences. Differ
ences between the house where im
portant measures are rushed through
in short order with the. assistance of
powerful committees, ironclad
cloture, and general majority rule:
and the more leisurely senate with
its all but unlimited argument, and
the opportunities It offers for ag
gressiva individuals and determined
minorities, were clearly brought out
by Mr. Hitchcock.
A general laugh followed the ex
senator’s ironic tribute to qne of his
former foes, when, in describing the
filibuster of March 1 to 4, 1917, he
said with emphasis. "Now Senator l^a
Follette can organize a filibuster hct-(
ter than any man in the senate." Mr.
Hitchcock gave a lively account of
this historic incident, in which the
senate remained In continuous s<;s
sion for four nights and three days,
trying to wear out the minority and
get through the hill for arming the
merchant marine, before the new ad
ministration cany; Into power. Two
hours before closing time, I .a Fol
lette, who had held his thunders In
reserve, still had not spoken. Hitch
cock. seeing that the filibuster was
about to succeed, took a hand in It
himself, although the measure was
his own, and so cut the victorious
senator from Minnesota out of the
last word.
"I don't know whether ifbople out
here realize the enormous Increase in
the power of the executive,” pursued
the former senator. "Most bills now
taken up are introduced after con
sultation with the president and his
cabinet or else suggested by the ex
ecutlve. This custom was started by
Roosevelt and received an enormous
Impetus when Wilson started the cus
tom of delivering his messages to
congress In person. It was not pro
vided for by the constitution and
makes our form of government more
like the British cabinet rule."
Mrs. F. A. Long, Madison, endow
ment secetary of the State Federa
tion of Woman’s clubs, was present
and complimented the Omaha Wom
en's club on paying Its quota to the
endowment fund on time nnd in full,
although its energies are occupied in
raising money for a club house.

“My Husband's Love”

turb Madge.
With no further words, my brother
in-law aided the boy on his lap to
change his position, and as I *w him
arrange the child's posture so that
ills eyes commanded the rear window
of the car, I found my answer to the
question which I mentally had asked
concerning the whispered colloquy o£
the boy and the man
It had been rehearsed—tliat ques
tion and answer which had Just been
exchanged concerning a possible wish
of the lad to change his position.
Upon Harriet's objection to Mary's
further watching of the road, her hus
band unostentatiously had provided a
substitute for the little girl. Then he
must fed that we were not yet fig
uratively out of the woods, even as
literally our Journey now wound be
tween rows of stately forest trees. Tile
knowledge of his uneasiness gave an
added twinge to my own fears, but as
the miles roiled off. and the light of
no following car appeared, my spirits
began to rise. I was letting my lmagi
lnation get the better of my common
sense. I told myself, after we emerged
from the winding bay road to one of
the outlying streets of Southajtipton.
It was but a short distance to tbs
big highway which under several
names traverses Ixmg Island from
Montauk I*4int to New York, and we
were just turning into It when Bob
In bis uncle's arms spoke softly:
“There's a car behind us. Uncle
Edwin.” ,
The Car Tliat Walled.
My nervousness made me antici
pate my brother-in law's answer.
"That doesn't mean anything now.
There are always cars along here.
We'll have a number of cars behind
us and ahead of us until we turn
off on the road to Riverhead.”
Edwin made no comment what
ever, and I wondered if he were of
fended at my interruption. I heard
him whispering again to the boy,
and from the child's tense attitude,
guessed that he had charged him to
keep an eye on the oar behind us.
This roused my fears again, but I
resolved to keep them to myself, and
I found an outlet in my tense
nerves in the opportunity for faster
driving which the broad highway
presented.
Wo were well Into the Shlnnecock
Hills when Edwin spoke in a low
tone:
"I think you ought to know,
Madge, tlyit this car behind us was
in all probability waiting at the end
of that bay road. Of course. I may
be mistaken, but Just as we came
out there. I caught a glimpse of a
car without lights standing at one
side of the road, and I am aure 1
caught the noise of a starting englno
Just after we had passed. I>o you
want to alow up and let them pass
you so as to make sure?”
I thought swiftly and a ruse came
to me which would not only enable
me to elude pursuit If such were be
hind me, but would determine for
me the question as to the knowledge
or ignorance of my errand among
the occupants of the car behind me.
Suggesting a Kuse.
"Canoe Place Inn is not very far
ahead," I said to Edwin, "and there
is a broad roadway sweeping up to
its door. 1 can turn in there with
out slackening speed very much, and
the inn is open all the year round,
so a car turning there will occasion
neither comment nor inquiry* If
car following goes on about its busi
ness. and does not turn around, wo
shall have one question answered.
"At least ive shall be able to Kf,t a
good Took at it,'' Edwin commented
quietly, "unless the fog prevents."
Startled, I took my eyes from the
road dlrfcctly In front of me and let
them rest for a moment on the
sky and sea which a few seconds
ago had heen visible, though mistily,
through the rain. Now they were
blotted out by the thick white fog.

the east end of the Island, and which
Is the particular ban* of all motor
ists. Absorbed In my fears, and me
chanically watching only the road In
front of me, 1 had not noticed it. ,
and my heart gave a llttlo clutch of
fear as l thought of the dangerous |
read In front of me, and the miles
yet to he traversed before we could
reach shelter.
"I'll drive as fast as I can for os
long aa I can,” l told myself grimly,
with a little throb of thankfulness
that 1 was on the la'nd side of the
road, one of the most beautiful in
the world in sunlight or moonlight,
with its curves skirting precipitous
descents to a bay as blue and spark
ling, travelers say, as that of Naples.
Many* times have 1 stopped to ad
mire Its loveliness, but now I wished
that It could be transformed Into an
unlovely but level stretch of solid
earth, for I knew only too well what
danger Its fog hung windings held
for me.
