» - ,|more than Japan—and she mads " New York, May 17.—This year, Rush Sato is a dancen but next year dhe will be a producer—it her plans ‘materialize—not on Broadway, but in the land of the cherry blossoma. < ghe is the only Japanese chorus ‘sirl on Broadway, but in spite of her slant eyes,- hgr, sight; narrow “CHORINE-PRODUCER" RUTH SATO body, her kimonos and her obvious eriental lineage, she is American in spirit. Nimble as her feet are, her mind is even more so. She plans to carry the American musical comedy to Japan. Now, under the popular American eonception of what the.Oriental.con- siders’ good motal entertainment, it #s difficult to imagine a Broadway Amufl; show full of bare-legged cuties gyrating to Tin Pan Alley ’tunes and showering fast American ‘wise-cracks on an audience of un- emotional Japanese. They Like the Charieston But.our jdes of Nippom . is all ;rong. “Why, in the last few yoars, 38 music has become very popular Japan,” Miss Bato declared. “My riends there say ‘they ‘think the ZLharleston e -a. most - fascinating *dance. There are big cpbarets and night clubs in the Orieat, and when we can't find enough musicians in Japan, we get them from the Eng- lish settiements in China. “I know my people will like mu- sical gdmedy. The costumes ave.very decorative and I'll see that the girls are fairly well. coveréd. Nudity would shock & Japanese audience— .mot merally, mind you but they ‘would :consider it inappropriate and in very bad taste. “Japan is fast getting around to the Occidental viewpoint, but it is not yet ready for the Follies Bergere type of entertainment.” She’ll Be “Visiting Artist” Miss Sato admits that no oriental woman would think of such an en- terprise as she has in mind. “If I were a Japanese girl, living in Japan, I would have no oppor- tunity, or receive no encouragement to plit myself before the public this ‘way. But going over from this coun- try, and coming as an established dancer, they will accept me as an _artist rather than a native daughter. “They are used to women dancers —no country ever adored Paviowa several tours there. They themselvs love entertainment and novelty. think an American type of shew arouse their curiosity sufficiently to keep the box office busy. And cer- tainly the English and _Americans in this part of the world; ‘and the tourists would support it Jt [ will means nothing to the peor class, fer they would never have the mioney | ° for the admission, small as it will have to be.” “[ have acquired the Japanese rights to ‘Hold Everything,' the show I'm ‘in, and I have interested some Japanese men here, including my father, in my plan to put it on, with American stage settings, dan- cing and costumes, in the larger cities. Poet Translated the Script | “The lyrics already have been translated into Japanese by a Jap- 4 anese poet who is over here, and-I | would have to take over | technical director and a musical di- rector and the costumes. I will put |on the show and teach the routine myself. If this venture ig successful, we have other productions in mind.” Getting Japanese chorus’ girls | would be the real problem, she ad- mitted, and she would need twelve, “There is no such person there now,” she laughed. “There are dan- cers—in fact, nearly all Japanese girls can dance, but they dance from the waist up—they don't know what it is to use their feet. Teaching them | American steps will be most amus- | ing."” | Miss Sato was born and educated in this country. Her father, a Jap- | anese art dealer in New York, has taken her back to his native caun- | try many times for her vacations. | She Often Visits Japan Miss Sato always emphasizes her oriental features with her stage make-up, and dresses‘in a delight- ful combination of east and west at- tire. “I don’t care nothing for antiques jades, prints—or any of the thin I have been surrounded with all my life and which are no novelty to'me. If T had my way, I would fill a house with books, mostly Russian and French authors. I like James Joyce, Proust and de Goncourt. Housekeep- ing, I don't like and cooking inter- ests me not at all. I'm 24, but I don’t want {o get married for a long time yet.” | WILL HONOR AMERICAN POLES Rowno, Poland, May' 17.

C., May 17,—Chil- dren six years old recently tugged at parental apron atrings in weatern Queensland, Australia, when the roofs of their homes resounded with the tattoo of the first rain they had ever seen or heard. “Queenaland is not an arid desert, as the report would indicate,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D, C. headquarters of the National Geographichl Seciety. - Big Enough to Accomaiodate Many Climates ‘4 “Queenslanders, nearly all of whom are boosters of their state, if twitted about the report, would counter with a boast that Queens- land is large enough to accommo- date many different climates. The state occupies the northeastern cor- ner of Australia, including the Cape York Peninsula, the tip end of which is the northernmost point on the continent. This tip is but 750 miles h of the Equator. H Maine, the northeastern corner of the Tnitéd States, could be swal- lowed up -within the borders -of- Queensland twenty times,.and then there would be room enoygh for a Rhode Island or twa, If the tip of the Cape -York Peninsula -were placed on the northern tip of the Michigan - Peninsula, Queeniynd’s southern border would lie in - the Gulf of Mexico in about the same/ latitude as Tampa, .Florida. And at its widest part, the AustraHarn wtate spreads across as many miles as the distance between Washington and Low Prices. ' "distriét” in its fine Dot Moines, Jowa, ag tha"Gow files. White Man's Country “Tropical fruits thrive in the morthern portien ef the state, Ba- nanas are so abundant that the state has been called the Banana State. Nat to be outdene by the fruit pro- ducers, the sugar cane planters along the coast increased their sugar production in the past half century g0 that 95 per cent 'of Australia’s sugar comes from Queensland, and its has become the so-called ‘sugar bow!’ of the continent. “The traveler can ride for miles ovey roads between thickly planted fields of cane, 80 high that only the sight of a sugar mill breaks the monotony, and now and then the si- lence of the vast area is broken by the chug of ‘donkey’ engines which haul the eane from fields to milla Vast cotton wields here and there in the northern part of the state are not ' unlike those of - America, but they are worked by white laborers. Years ago, white Australians decid- ed that they wanted the continent to be a white man's country, so they sent the South Bea Islind laborers back to their native homes. Darling Downs Is & Farmer's Paradise iten to a Queenslander of the g Downs, in southern Queens- land, and he will nearly convince you that he lives in one of the world's finest agricultural districts. Here are four million acres of rich soil where seeds are merely sown and Nature produces -enormous crops without the use of. fertilizer. ‘This region was opened up less than # century ago. Today it is an endleas panoram; of orchards, cattle ranches and farms. Corn, wheat and alfalfa, grow abundantly. On some portions of the Downs, nine crops of alfalf§ have been harvested in a sip- gle year. oowoomba, the capital of the Downs, reflects the prosperity of the buildings angd residences set in garden-spotted lawns.

Goud, , Opals and Sapphires “While Queensland is not ‘@ Jo- hannesburg, Mount Morgan, near the Pacific coast, has produced more than $125,000,000 worth of gold. “Rockhampton, a city of 20,000 inhabitants, owes its existence to the gold mines. A bustling town today, it was formerly known as the ‘City of Three Ss'—sin, sweat and SOrrow. The ‘sweat’ portion of the name is derived from the torrid climate of the city. It lles 30 miles from the sea coast and is shielded from the seg breezs by a high ridge. Large gold mines are also to be found near Townsville, a seaport about midway of the Queensland coast. Altogether the state has produced more than a half billion dollars worth of the precious metal. Copper and lead now are important mineral products of the gold mining region. Tin is mined on Cape York Penin- sula, “In western‘Queensiand, the grav- eler passes through cultivated areas, larger than entire states in the Unit- ed States, which were once arid. There are also portions which man has not exploited. Rain here is sel- dom seen but artesian- wells are brought in by drilling. Western Queensland is the land of the Aus- tralian opals. These gems which are valuable on gem markets of the world are found in diggings from 6 Inches to thirty feet deep. About 200 miles from Rockhampton, - the Anakie gem fields produce about $100,000 worth of sapphires a year. “Queensland’s drawback, accord- ing to Queenslanders, is its smatl population which is alightly less than that of Boston, Massachusetts.
