Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Staff Officer's Scrap-Book, Vol. 2 of 2: During the Russo-Japanese War
The spectator who elbows his way into the playhouse on a crowded first night is mainly taken up with the struggle towards his seat, the effect of his white waistcoat, the purchase of a programme and the dis posal of his hat. The curtain rises; the actors play their parts, the scene shifts, the plot thickens. The spectator now sits in the shadow, passive and detached, watching with wrapt attention the development of the drama.
