Wednesday/ August 26, 1953

By LARRY TAJIRI

Quaint, Charming, Stereotyped
Continued popularity of those
sturdy perennials of the musical
theater “Madame Butterfly” and
“The Mikado”, have been respon­
sible for countless attempts to ap­
proximate the successes achieved
by Giacomo Puccini and Gilbert
Sullivan.
Almost every year, when the
autumn crocus is in saffron
bloom and hopes burn brightly
along Schubert alley, there are
works in progress with Japanese
and Asian backgrounds. Few of
these, however, survive the first
frost, if they reach the produc­
tion stage at all.
A notable exception is Rogers
and Hammerstein’s “The King
and I,” now in its third year and
doing very well. Yul Brynner is
once again playing the King of
Siam and Yuriko Kikuchi and
Michiko Iseri are still weaving
their terpsichorean magic in their
duet as Eliza and The. Angel in
the ballet sequence born of the
Uncle Tom legend, “The Little.
House of Uncle Thomas.”
It is significant perhaps, that
the productions with Japanese
and Asian settings which have
achieved such remarkable success
are those with stylized settings
and action.
Cho-Cho-San, 1 he
Lord High Executioner and, pos­
sibly, the court ladies of ID th cen­
tury Siam all hue closely to a
stereotype, albeit a pleasant one
in most instances. Mary Martin
in “Lute Song.” Florence Bainter in “The Willow Tree” and
Florence Reid in “The Shanghai
Gesture,” all Broadway successes
with Chinese settings, projected
the type of Oriental character
which audiences have come to
accept.
Attempts to present dramas
and musicals with contemporary
settings have not done as well.
Even Ted Pollock’s interracial
drama of occupation Japan,
“Wedding in Japan,” which re­
ceived good critical notices in two
off-Broadway productions, the
first with Michiko Okamoto as
the girl, did not achieve a formal
Broadway production. The second
time “Wedding” was presented
last year it was closed by the
sponsors following protests from
a Nisei group that the Japanese
characters were presented as
racial stereotypes.

This year's entry on Broadway
is John Patrick's dramatization
of the Vern Sneider novel. “The
Teahouse of the August Moon,"
a play with a background of the
U.S. occupation on Okinawa. As

Ambrosia Artemisiifolia and I

Atchoo! Atchoo! Ah . . . Ah . . . Atchoo! The dings dat habben
to me should nod habben to a dog.
I belong to a class of humans who suffer untold physical tor­
ment because I am acutely susceptible to Ambrosia Artemisiifolia
What’s Ambrosia Artemisiifolia ? Ragweed to you, ignoramus!
It’s a torment which learns not to expect sympathy, least of all.
from one’s closest friends. A common cold fares better than hay­
fever. I know. I’ve had people prescribe all kinds of home cures for
a cold in the head. I’ve even been sent home with strict orders to
get right into bed, take a hot toddy and forget all about the office.
And sometimes I’ve even received an odd rose or two . . . makingme feel a trifle guilty for being in bed with a mere head cold.
But hayfever’s quite another thing. Even being dead would be
a better fate. At least one can count on kind words from the pulpit.
“So you’ve got hayfever”, your best friends will comment. And they
will slap their thighs and laugh uproariously, and will proceed to
make plans for you which mean practically sleeping on a bed of
Ambrosia Artemisiifolia. “Cheer* up, kid, you can’t die of it,” thev
will console you.
Of course, the so-called intelligentsia will make snide remarks
about recent research into allergies, and will look at you knowingly
carefully pointing out a definite correlation between allergies and
emotional disturbances. They will look at you with a kind of dogged
hopefulness that some day they will be able to pin on you a special
frustration which will explain all your special peculiarities. “Pollen
from ragweed! Don’t be ridiculous!” they will say, and then proceed
to take handfuls of the stuff, throw out their chests, inhale deeply
of it without blinking one eyelash. And always nothing happens to
them. And that’s where the rub is. Why pick on me ?
Of course, in time one develops several pseudo-theories. A fav­
orite one develops along the line that those who are sensitively put
together are naturally susceptible to Ambrosia Artemisiifolia, a deli­
cate condition similar to that found in highly thoroughbred dogs . . .
ahem. Or you will find yourself saying, “Isn’t it strange that there
is a greater incidence of hayfever among higher mentalities,” hop­
ing that there will not be among your friends those who can out­
smart you with some nasty retort like “Yes, just like homosexuality”
or* “I can’t recall Einstein suffering from hayfever!”
The dictionary will tell you that Ambrosia Artemisiifolia is a
common type of weed but I know from experience that there is noth­
ing common about it. There is something diabolical about the rag­
weed ... a characteristic which I have just discovered.
In the first year or two, like members of Alcoholic Anonymous,
the victim will seek out fellow sufferers, for only they can give him
sympathy and understanding. One of the sweetest experiences I have
had as a recent member of “Hayfever Conglomerous” was an invita­
tion to a bridge party on a hot, sticky August night, when the pollen
count was heavier than usual in Montreal. Nine out of the twelve
invited guests had it, and the non-allergic players were made to feel
very abnormal for their normality. But like anything else, the
novelty wears off, and one is left with streaming, itching eyes,
puffy face, sneezing attacks, continually blocked nasal passages, and
the grim reality that for you there is no cure.
And so one learns to live with it. One learns to give up certain
pleasures, like wandering through rolling cattle country—a pastime
which can give you sights of indescribable beauty and severe attacks
of hayfever—or taking walks in unknown districts where ragweed
abounds. One learns to bypass ragweed areas no matter how tan­
talizing the tourist bureau folder on the place might appear. And
although others may tell that injections will be of no avail, you will
seek medical aid to find out for yourself if injections will work,
and if so, will set aside the cost of four or five months of desen­
sitizing treatments each year in advance of the ragweed onslaught.
And to make relief doubly sure, one arms himself with pyribenzamine pills, learns to take one’s holidays before or* after the bad
season, leaving the ragweed season as a time to take philosophically
with a maximum of controlled comfort and a minimum of effort.
I was sure I was thwarting destiny this ragweed season. I was
desensitized; I had my quota of pills; I’d taken my holidays and was
now ready to take things easy. In fact a kind of semi-hibernation in
the privacy of my own home, sitting out on my own front poren.
