Why these are called Japanese, I don’t know. Any other name would suit better. To start with, the act isn’t fit for a first-class theatre. It belongs in a burlesque house. She carries two electricians, and then wants a property man to help her in the poses. It’s the worst piece of getting-money-under-false-pretenses I ever saw. Time 10 minutes full stage.
