1t lies not within our power
4f indeed it comes within our
province to give such an account
Of this oriental melodrama as will
convey any very adequate idea
of the happy effect of the play
upon the spectator. Our brief
resume will be less descriptive
than suggestive.
The ladies and gentlemen of
Japan were attired in most fan
ciful costumes, oftvaregated col
ors, pleasing the most fastidious
taste. Many of these did some
splendid acting and posing in
pantomine, special comment on
which only lack of time and space
forbids. Every movement was
one of grace and harmony. The
weird scene was made more
oriental by the artistic effect of
Japanese lanterns skillfully ar
ranged, transporting one in fancy
to the classic shores of Cathay.
Miss Mollie Hursey, as Ko-Ko's
beautiful ward, Yum Yum, IS q
revelation. She possesses true
dramatic genius. The heroine is
probably at her best when she
appears alone just before her
prospective marriage to the
prince. Her unfeigned admira-
ton for the heir-apparent makes
her acting charmingly genuine.
Mr.. Gus Smith, as Grown
Prince of Japan, disguised as q
wandering minstrel, is no less
gallant and devoted as a sutton
than he is accomplished and skill.

were repaid in munifcent style

the proper character for the lord

that suicide besides being

and thus saves his official head.

Peep Bo. petite and coy, either of
the rivals mighteasily have found
an eligible enamorita. and thus
have found for the vexed question
q happy solution. But If it was
demonstrated that the course of
true love never does run smooth,it
certainly was made plain that the
grand passion ultimately tri-'
umphs.
Hotf sommers made a great
hit as Katisha, the old woman
whose sentimental adventures
were of the ludicrous sort. That
distinguished worthy's humorous
proclivities showed up to start
ling advantage. We may say
that Katisha's performances
were, on the whole, not onlyclev-
er. but excruciatingly funny.
Miss Nellie Steele deserves to
be handsomely complimented on
the superb style in which she
played the part of Pitt Sing,
sister to the heroine. This young
,lady's acting is a charming com
Ibination of nature and art and
won for her the unreserve6 adj
mi-ation of all.
The Incompatible Thorne was
truly in his native element in the
role. to which he is peculiarly
we'll adapted, of Poo Bah, High
LordC Chancellor of the Exchequer,
and other Offices galore. This
gentleman's phenomenal capacity
for Office holding is doubtless due
to the protoplasmic nature of his
ancestry. SWitha majestic dig.
nifty and grandeur that would
have done credit to his royal
highness the Mikado himself, this
exalted functionary expatiated at
length upon his proud preroga,

cation that had a stomach to it,
bent his official ear with infinite
condescension. Poo Bah's ad.
rolt craftsmanship stamps him as

Mr.. Cam Sommers, grand mon
arch Of Japan. demonstrated ad.
mirably his competency to teach
kings the meaning of majesty,
and doubtless makes a better
Mikado than that august poten.
tate himself. With the profound
gravity peculiar to oriental mon
archs, and with an urbanity no
less rare, the Mikado steps with
stately tread through the midst
of his loyal subjects, receiving
their homage with courteous re.
gard, and handling them with
such royal clemency, as to cause
one to marvel at the wisdom of
SO renowned ruler.
The doughty little darby page
probably made the greatest hit
of all, oft relieving the serious
turn of affairs with his droll and

The efforts of all who partici-
pated in this enterprise are to be
