JAPANESE MUSIC IS QUEER..
Orientals Proud of Sounds Produced Oft

When Blanche Bates first appears in
The Darling of the Gods, her entiafice is
to an accompaniment of simple and ex-
pressive melody, quaint, odd, Japanesque.
This strikes the appropriate theme in
the elaborate music setting.

numbers, including entr'actes; and inter-
inezzosle heard hi the Darling of the
Gods. With Mr. Belasco he has studied
Japanese music from every Aide. So thor-
oughly did they become inspired with the
possibilities, musically, for the riew play
that they 'decided to include in their or-
chestral arrangements several Metre -
molts peculiar to Japan. These ate the
biwa, samisen:stoat tsudzumi, and fuye.

Japanese performers, the quaint 3nelodies
