Both artists made humor- ous remarks about the fashions and manners of Japan versus those of the western world, and the first half of the program was completed with three dances. “Genroku Hanna Mi Odori” was a very formal number, full of stiff gestures; “Cho Cho,” the butterfly interpretative dance by Mrs Ongawa, was exquisite In its. grace The final dance, “Okami and Hy togo,” comical and given with delight- fully sly touches of humor. The most artistic number, perhaps, was the playlet which filled the sec- ond part of the program. It was sim- ple with touches of sophiatication that were the more enjoyable because unexpected. Mr. Ongawa skillfully played four distinet characters, while his wife played the role of Fusa, the obedient young housewife. It is a story of Japanese superstitions and bellef in magic, as it affects the hap- piness of a simple family of farmer folk. There is also ingenious use of the first mirror seen by these char- acters.

AVE. PHON ORTH 30 Mr. and Mrs. Ongawa of Japan in the Far East program presented at the National Theater yesterday after- noon, under the auspices of the| Washington branch, American Asso- | clation of Universit Women. Al large audience showed interest in the varfous numbe: 1 After a droll introduction of each | to the audlence, the two actors pre- sented an instrumental number, | “Feast of Lanterns,” with the Gek-| kin, a Japanese instrument with a sca of nine notes instead of the eight of the diatonic scale and traps. The composition Is as vivid and full of clashing melodies as the music of the western modernists and is programmatic in its portrayal of the features of this Japanese holiday. Mr. Ongawa presented an ancient legend in a sword dance, “Kofima | Takanori o of one of the old| Samural. Mrs. Ongawa accompanied | him on the samisen, another favorite Japanese instrument, and sang a bal lad telling of the action. Then, in her precise told the amusing fable of the key and the Jeliyfish.'
