Passage – 1
The scene is fairly familiar at first. The lights dim, and an eerie squeal of flutes silences the rustle and buzz of the audience. The first actor enters, attired in full Kabuki dress and pandemonium erupts in the crowd. Men bellow through cupped hands. To a foreigner the reaction seems a little harsh: the poor man has yet to utter a single line. However, no ushers appear to clear the stalls and soon everyone settles down to listen to the opening speech. Then another actor enters and ka boom — the hecklers start again, leaning forward to scream at the newcomer. Strangely, he appears pleased. Evidently I’m missing something.

The English commentary in my earphones soon confirms that I am. Such outbursts are expected, the voice explains, even demanded in Japanese theatre. The audience is calling out the actors’ names, and the greater the performer’s standing the higher the roof is raised. Forget the sharp ‘sshhh!’ that greets any interruption in a Western theatre. Fans are supposed to shout here. Keeping your mouth shut is almost rude.

If you were to listen to the dinner party talk from Beijing to Bangalore, you might think theatre was all but dead in Asia. The occasional touring production or big musical — Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables and now Miss Saigon — offers glimpses of Broadway or London’s West End. But outside the dull conservatism of national troupes or small-scale experimental groups, the culture vultures say pickings are slim.

Not so in Tokyo, the theatrical centre of the East. Simultaneous English translations and programme notes make traditional shows easy to follow. And in the Ginza district, the heart of Tokyo’s theatreland, audiences can catch not only Kabuki but also Japanese productions of Bernstein, Beckett, Shakespeare and Gilbert and Sullivan.

Part of the fun of watching Western classics such as 42nd street is observing how Japanese portray foreigners. It’s like seeing yourself in a fairground Hall of Mirrors: the image is familiar, but amusingly distorted. Wearing blond wigs and remembering not to bow in greeting, the actors nonetheless sometimes resort to peculiarly Japanese gestures: signalling ‘Me’ by pointing fingers to their noses and hiding laughter by pressing their palms to their faces. The five troupes of the Takarazuka Grand Theater company, opposite the Imperial Hotel, have a staggering repertoire from West Side Story to Hamlet and perform their own dramatizations of Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls and Tolstoy’s War and Peace. The male leads are romantic and clean-cut, strong yet sensitive, not least because they are played by women. The mobs of female fans that crowd the stage door after the show bear witness to how poorly Japanese men apparently measure up to this ideal. Its recent productions include Gone with the Wind, Jekyll and Hyde and Fiddler on the Roof.

Even Kabuki is getting accessible. The Ichikawa family’s Super Kabuki company has reinvented the genre for modern audiences by featuring special effects that wouldn’t be out of place in Hollywood. In Shin Sangokushi, a real waterfall as wide as the stage is the backdrop for a hair-raising battle to the death. Spectators in one corner are given plastic capes to protect themselves from the victor’s splashy triumph. In another scene, a doomed ship floats on a sea of dry ice — its crew writhing in flames of flickering red light before breaking in two and plunging through the stage with a groan worthy of the Titanic. Taped commentaries offer whispered guides to the complicated and often racy plots. The Tourist Information Center will tell you where the company is playing. Or try the more traditional and world-famous Kabuki-za at the Ginza stop on the Hibiya subway, which also features English commentaries. But be warned: Kabuki-za’s epics can each run to five hours.

After the show, Ginza offers Tokyo’s finest and (most expensive) sushi, at up to $300 a head. But just as authentic and considerably cheaper is the alfresco Yurakucho Yakitori Alley, where $30 will buy a meal of some of the capital’s best grilled chicken, beef or seafood. The area is under the Shinkansen line and a stroll from most theatres. Call it ’Bullet Trains over Broadway’.

Passage – 2
When we remember President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s leadership after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, we tend to think of the famous response that he carefully dictated to his secretary, punctuation included: “Yesterday comma December 7 comma 1941 dash a date which will live in infamy . . .” Yet the President’s leadership was most sorely tested not on the Sunday of the surprise attack or the Monday he delivered his address but in the long, difficult days that followed. Then as now, America’s sense of territorial invulnerability had been shattered. Rumours swirled: the Japanese were planning to bomb Los Angeles, were already bombing San Francisco. There was real fear, not just among the public but also within the government, that Japan might invade the American mainland, whose defences were weakened by the crippling of the Navy.

The differences between Pearl Harbor and last Tuesday’s attack are abundant. At Pearl Harbor, the Japanese targeted a military base; last week the terrorists targeted ordinary civilians travelling in the air, working in their offices, walking on the streets. Then, unlike today, we faced discrete, known enemies. But Pearl Harbor, and America’s larger history, teaches us that at these crucial junctures, resolve and unity are powerful weapons against despair and hysteria.

After Pearl Harbor, symbolic acts were as significant as physical preparation for war. Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt worked together to demonstrate that the war overseas would be won only by preserving American liberty at home. The week after the raid, the Secret Service suggested a list of security measures at the White House: camouflaging the building, placing machine guns on the roof, covering the skylights with sand and tin. Roosevelt rejected most of the suggestions, to show that the capital stood unbowed — much as, a century earlier, Abraham Lincoln insisted that the construction of the Capitol dome be completed in the midst of the Civil War. Similarly, on Tuesday President Bush decided to end the day in Washington rather than in a NORAD bunker. On Friday he presided over a national day of prayer, giving prominent roles to people of all races and creeds, including a Muslim religious leader.

Eleanor, visiting the West Coast after Pearl Harbor, bore witness to the hysteria directed against Japanese Americans. Government officials swooped down upon Japanese banks, stores and houses. Swimming against the tide of prejudice, Eleanor antagonized many Californians when she called for tolerance and posed for a picture with US born Japanese Americans; the editorial board of The Los Angeles Times reacted angrily and called for her forcible retirement from public life. The First Lady responded that more than fairness was at stake:”Almost the biggest obligation we have today is to prove that in a time of stress we can still live up to our beliefs.” Though the US later let that principle down with the internment camps, it remains a valuable point to remember, particularly if images of Palestinians celebrating the attacks inflame anger at Arab Americans here.

In many ways, the challenge facing George W. Bush is greater than Roosevelt’s. F.D.R. was an immensely popular third-term president who had led America through the Great Depression. And he had the luxury of immediate, concrete action that galvanized Americans in the days and weeks after the attack. There were weapons to be built, resources to be conserved, a military force to assemble. This week, outside Washington and New York City, there was little more for most Americans to do than give blood.

But the crisis today makes such mundane acts heroic. Terrorism seeks to turn ordinary life into a battlefield, and the bravest act Americans can undertake in the coming weeks is to go about their daily lives, ride airplanes and elevators and do what the British did during the Blitz, show up at work every morning. Today, Bush has the opportunity to draw on something we rarely experience: the feeling that America is not merely an abstraction but an entity of which we are each a vital part.

On Christmas Eve 1941, over the objections of the Secret Service, F.D.R insisted on lighting the White House Christmas tree. It made a memorable night for the fifteen thousand people who gathered to hear him speak, illumined by a crescent moon, the red light of the Washington Monument and the glow of the tree. While we prepare to strike back against terrorism and secure our skies and our homes, the challenge to our leaders and to all of us is to show that no terrorist group will be allowed to extinguish the beacons of freedom and democracy.

Passage – 3
At 10 every morning, Tabassum, a Lakme beauty advisor, walks into Unique Matching Centre, a medium-sized women’s needs outlet in Dadar (West), Mumbai. By the time she walks out every evening, she has talked to over 50 customers and sold Lakme Lever colour cosmetics worth Rs. 850-1,000. That’s a good 30-40% higher than what Unique sold before her appointment. According to Lakme Lever (a division of Hindustan Lever), last festive season Tabassum and 389 such beauty advisors grew Lakme sales at these outlets by 42% — more than its growth expectations of 16% and way above the 10-25% averaged by the 60,000 other outlets that retail Lakme’s colour cosmetics sans advisors.

Cosmetics major Lakme’s theory that adding a service dimension to the brand would increase sales is beginning to pay off. And it is taking a quantum leap forward by entering the Rs. 500 crore beauty salons business. It has 32 full fledged salons around the country; four of these have been around since the seventies and the rest have come up in the last one year. It now plans to roll out another 200 over the next three years. That will make it one of the world’s largest beauty salon chains. In fact, HLL’s foray into the services business, the laundrette pilot and home delivery (Sangam Direct), was also promoted by the Lakme experience.

So why did this FMCG company enter services? Lakme’s position as market leader was threatened when international majors like Revlon and Maybelline entered the fray in the mid-90s. Lakme realised it had to do something fast to retain its 60 per cent market share. It launched Elle 18 (a lower-priced brand targeted at teenagers). And figured that point-of-sale push would help. Thus, the beauty advisor idea emerged.

Tabassum’s presence behind the counter and the interaction she brings into the consumer’s purchase experience turned out to be a key sale clincher in the Rs. 500 crore colour cosmetics category that is largely driven by impulse purchases. The advisors gave Lakme a direct information channel for consumer preferences and offtake, among other things. This helped the company cut inventory by about 40 per cent, while maintaining its S.K.U. (stock keeping unit) strength of 185. No specific numbers are available, but going by the industry’s average inventory holding of about 16-20 weeks along the supply chain, Lakme saves around Rs. 15-20 crores. Sure, its stockout rose from three to five per cent, but counters Anil Chopra, business head at Lakme Lever, the savings from the inventory cuts more than offset this loss. Advisors also cost Lakme little; they are employed by the distributors; Lakme only indirectly subsidises the cost. The risk of failure, too, is low: an advisor can be replaced easily. And the model is scaleable.

No wonder Lakme Lever is rolling out the beauty advisor concept. The idea is to have them man outlets with monthly sales of Rs. 25,000 plus. Of the 600 nationwise outlets that fit the bill, advisors remain to be placed in 210. This could take another year.

“Consumers like and even expect a certain amount of hand-holding in choosing cosmetics,” says Inder Madhan, GM, Lifespring, a health and beauty chain. Others like Modi Revlon have employed this strategy to even better effect, “We have seen our sales go up by 50 per cent whenever we place a beauty advisor in an outlet. Revlon is the best selling brand in all the stores that we have a beauty advisor in,” claims Umesh Kumar Modi, CEO, Modi Revlon. Nevertheless, none have adopted a scale as large as that of Lakme’s. Modi plans to increase the number of advisors by 50 per cent this year, to a total of only 500 in two years. It also does not plan to set up any beauty salons here, unlike in the international markets where Revlon has outlets, albeit on a small scale.

So what does Lakme see in salons that others don’t? Chopra expects the Indian market to grow at 20 per cent annually to touch Rs. 1,000 crore in four years. “There are 4,936 salons in Delhi alone, about 11 per cent of which are in the A+ (super premium) category, and 20 per cent are in the B+ and B categories,” says Rohit Sood, vice president (marketing), Brushman India, the marketing partner of Dutch hair cosmetics giant Keune, which is setting up 80 haircare salons in the next three years. If each salon in Delhi makes an average of Rs. 500 a day (premium brands like Keune expect Rs 2,000 per chair per day) the Delhi salon market could be worth Rs. 75 crore a year. Demand, too, is growing, given the 25 million-odd middle- and upper-class working women in India who are becoming increasingly conscious of their looks. Profit margins are also good: Lakme can net 25-30 per cent (almost double the margins made selling cosmetics) through the franchisee model.

According to the Global Salon Panels India 2001 report, published by Diagonal Reports, an Ireland-based market intelligence research firm, 80 per cent of the 1,000 salons that were polled used Wella (an international brand), 60 per cent used L’Oreal and 40 per cent used brands like Avon, Ayur and Shahnaz Hussain, among others. Lakme and HLL were not among the most preferred. Sales has to be pushed at the salons, but Lakme figured it could do better. It decided to set up its own business. ”We wanted to create an alternative channel,” says Chopra.

Each salon will have a standardised format: 2,000 square feet space costing about Rs. 20 lakh (excluding real estate). Some of the salons will be company owned; most of the new ones will be franchised. The model has been perfected in smaller cities including Pune, Indore, Vadodara, Ludhiana and Jalandhar. Lakme will provide the technical expertise; investments in real estate and operations will be made by the franchisee.

Cosmetics firms have succeeded in the salons business abroad. UK-based Toni and Guy, which makes haircare products and runs 150 hair salons, is the best example. For Lakme to succeed, it has to first iron out a few glitches.

First is reach. Few people visit salons that are not in their neighbourhood. Can Lakme get that kind of reach in all the major cities? Unlikely, in the short-term. “Some sort of an alliance or co-branding with the salons that already exist may, perhaps, have been a better strategy,” argues Keune’s Sood. Second is positioning. “The general perception is that company-owned salons are expensive. Though Lakme beauty salons are reasonably priced, it has not been communicated well enough,” says the business head of an upmarket salon chain.

Once sorted out, salons can also fuel the growth of HLL’s hair-care brands.”Currently, about 10 per cent of our salons’ total billings are product sales. This could go up to 20 per cent,” says Chopra.

Most significant though will be the impact on Lakme’s bottomline. By going for franchises, Lakme avoids large capital investments and recurring expenditure. Yet, it will get 20 per cent of the salons’ billings as franchise fees. If the business grows big enough to contribute 25-30 per cent of sales 2004 onwards (from the current five per cent levels) as Chopra hopes, it could even contribute one-third to one-half of Lakme’s profits. And that’s why Lakme is donning the war paint.
