The professional story-tellers have their particular halls
where at the present moment hundreds congregate to listen to
war news. True, the Japanese story-teller does not attract
the more refined or highly educated people, but so popular
is he with the masses (who can seldom afford to attend the
theatre), that he may be classed among the most interesting
of those who live to please and instruct. | | Similar Items: | Find |
