T Sudermann’s wayward heroine, who runs away from a puritanic home to become an actress and returns after twelve years of glorious freedom only to shock and outrage her father to the point of feeling it his duty to kil! Lor, is well known in this country. Why won’t the Japanese have her? Listen to the Director of the Metropolitan Police Buréau of Tokio: I may say I am foremost in desiring the healthy advance of Userature. But however brilliant a work may be, it must de forbidden tf what it contains is detrimental to the teachings of the Impertal Reaoript on Education, which te the sole foun- dation of the national education. Now Magda, the heroine of the play, acte in disobedience to her mother. Such an ewample fe certainly harmful to the Japanese idea of virtue, in which fihad plety takes a very high place, The authoritics concerned are determined to suppress all other works which are injurious to the Japanese teaching of loyalty and filial piety, which ore the very foundation of the national nirrality of this country, So Magda must be made to reform and become a good end faithful daughter before a Japanese audience can be allowed to sce her. Such is the iron force of the immemorial Japanese ideal of de- votion to parents and ancestors. Ouriously enough; there is now running {n London a play, which Mew York will sce later, whove central idea exactly reverses the com- mandment “Honor thy father and thy mother.” “Rutherford and Son” is the story of a stern, domineering iron- master whose children are forced to leave their father’s house to es- cape his harsh ways. Then in solitude, threatened with the helplees- ness of old age, the man realizes his mistake—too late. “Fathers and mothers, honor your children,” one critic calls the AMl of which may remind us that one Kipling once wrote: Oh, Hast te Hast, and West ie Weat, and never the twain ahalt meet, Tl earth and sky stand presently at God's great judg. ment seat, a LEGS AND LEGS.
