One who has seen the original Broadway presentation, still running after more than two years, may give assurance that this production, originally organized for Chicago, in every way is up to New York standard in cast, in setting and costumes.

The urn goes and rests on the family altar in the tiny wooden cottage so picturesque, so miserably cold and squalid. The Japanese son would consider himself unmanly were he not to view his mother and other women with' contempt. That is why he cannot understand the American. The American, to him, is soft, feminine, a contemptuous sort of person.

Slave to Husband. The Japanese wife walks behind her husband. She waits on him literally hand and foot. She supervises his meals, but may only eat after he has satisfied himself and pushed the lacquered bowls away from him. Then she may eat if she finds' time "away from her laboring for him.

This is as true in the intimate family home as it is in public. I once saw a highbred Japanese wife seated, or rather squatting before her husband in an expensive "foreign style" restaurant in Tokyo. He said something to her. She rose and with a napkin removed her set of false teeth. She toddled off to the ladies' washroom; washed the teeth, and brought them back to her husband.

He put them back into his mouth and she took the cup of coffee from the waiter and gave it to her In sleeping cars on Japanese trains, the wives first undress their husbands, fold their garments, put them to bed before they dream of retiring themselves. During the night they must be prepared at any moment to respond to a summons for hot tea, or a salad of cold rice and dry seaweed. "You pamper your women," a Japanese told me contemptuously. "You defer to their decisions. You open auto doors for them and assist them to the street.

No wonder your civilization is decadent. Can you wonder why we don't want it spread amongst us?" And yet the surprising thing is this the male Japanese has a mentality that is distinctly feminine. With all our false notions, let us spike this one: The Japanese are highly emotional, they do get panicky, they do lose their heads. Proudly they try to hide these things, and that in some measure explains their continual bragging, continual sword-rattling, their shouting at one another in public. The lot of their women cannot be a happy one.

But you will never, I think, hear that from their. own lips. The American conception that women are co-partners of their men, is to the Japanese one of the most dangerous conceptions we hold. They beg us never to spread such a doctrine among their women. Tomorrow: Problem of Raw strauon.

He is a member of Delta Chi fraternity and the Father storms at the Democrats, bellows over bad coffee at the breakfast table, tangles up the minister on church finances, tries to teach Mother some sense about the family budget, without success, and makes his sons toe the mark. There is nothing about his existence about which he does not have a perfectly positive opinion, loudly expressed. to him is mere punctuation, "Damnation!" only a little more emphatic and "Oh, God!" for use in real household crises. Yet withal, he is a loving husband and parent. He enjoys his jokes and even takes pains to see that his explosions are timed for the most effect.

It is in the projecting of what Father thinks of himself that Waram is especially skillful. It is hard to imagine, in advance of seeing the play at the Grand, that Margalo Gillmore's feline sophistication could be put to good use in the role of the flighty, unresisting yet deeply cetermined Mother, yet she is quite acceptable. She replaced Lillian Gish as Wa-ram's partner when the company began its tour early last fall. The sons, eldest of whom was in the Broadway cast as No. 2 son, but outgrew it, all look enough like brothers and act as if they lived in the same household.

An internment camp for Japanese will be established at the seaport of Mazatlan, on the Pacific coast. It was understood that Japanese in Lower California and other West Coast regions already have been notified they must move before Jan. 15.

At the same time it was announced another internment camp, for suspected nationals of other Axis nations, will be established at Perote, In the state of Vera Cruz.

It was not made plain immediately whether all other Axis nationals would be obliged to. leave the coastal and border zones, but establishment of the camp at Perote at least was in indication that all these under suspicion are to be taken into custody. $69 to $99 TOWNLEYS ents. Dr. and Mrs.

This week's issue of the Moscow News, which has just resumed publication in Kuibyshev after being evacuated from the capital, prints a long eulogy to America by A. Troyanovsky. However, it is to be remembered that the Russians have been fighting with their backs to the wall for six months: They have ferociously defended their major cities, and they have burned and destroyed enterprises of great national importance rather than permit them to fall into the hands of the enemy.
