THE SPIDER WILMA WHITNEY For centuries in the Japanese theatre , the Kabu ki dramas have used " interp retative make-up" - standard co lour s and pa ttern s for different per so nality types. The face of a good man, for instance, is painted white; the face of a wicked man is pain ted red - the exact shade of red determined by the extent a nd degree of hi, wic,cdness . Thi s gentleman is cast in the role of the Spider - the mo st wicked character of them all. Theatrical make-up , whether it be used in Japa n, Australia or any other part of the world. is based on oih and waxes.
