Academy-s'The King of the Opium
Ring"

Tough New York has frequetly bean
put on the stage, more or less successfully,
but Charles E. Blaney's production, THE
King of the Opium Ring" which was seen
last night at the Academy, is an attempt to
portray tough San Francisco. The scene
is laid in Chinatown, and opium joints and
secret society rooms are the setting for
good deal of lurid melodrama Of the stilt-
ed order.
There is some realism in these settings,
but with one exception all of that quality
in the company is contributed by two wee
genuine Chinese boys. The rest of the al
legged Chinese characters wear wigs which
are painfully in evidence and have Bow
cry cast of feature. The one exception to
the rule OF unnaturalness is in Ada Bush
ellis delineation of Maggie Peck, the Irish
restaurant keeper, who does not only an
excellent character bit but some very agile
dancing. M. ]. Jordan wastes good deal
of ability on the part of Wah Sinig, the
highlander, for he is given such lines to
speak as never Mongolian conceived since
the world began. However, his sentiments
were fully understood by the gallery, and
evoked vociferous comment-generally
Kisses of approval for his excellent heavy
work. There is a good acrobatic specially
and two or three other clever turns in
the production. The house was crowded
and the audience enthusiastic.

Sir; am instructed by the governor TO inform
you that his eXeellency's attention has been
drawn 10 the inaccurate and often unreliable
statements which appear from time to time in
the American newspapers in regard 10 the con-
dition OF this island TO incidents which oc-
cur in the colony. While the fact that there
is persistent misrepresentation is itself much TO
be regretted il would not call for intervention
OF the people on the part of his e&cellency were
it not that much of the misrepresentation is of
such character tends gravely to affect the
interests OF the island and its reputation abroad
The extract from American newspaper quot
ed in the inclosed cutting affords fair example
of the kind Cf misrepresentation to which his
eNcellency refers. his eNcellency cannot say II
the correspondent or agent to whom the local
newspaper from which The cutting is taken as
cribes il, is really the author of the communi-
cation but il d.es certainly appear that 1t has
been furnished ly newspaper agent here, and
his excellency feels sure you will agree that the
statements not only untrue, but that they are
calculated TO do much mischief 10 the colony.
II there is any way by which you can assist this
government in putting a stop TO these continued
Misrepresentation or at least in counteracting
the unfavcrahe impression they apt 10
make upon the American public, his excelency
would be grateful for the exercise OF your good
Offices in that direction. 1 have. etc,

presented Henry Arthur Jones comedy

here last spring and persons who witnessed
both performances are loud in proclaiming
Mr.. SINNERS portrayal of Sir Christopher
Deering infinitely superior to that Of Mr.
Drew. ILdeed, if ii is possible that Mr
Jones had any particular actor. other than
Charles Wyndham, in view when he wrote
his exceedingly brilliant comedy that ac-
tor must have been some sturdy, healthy

not a mere delineator of what is the latest
thing in handshakes or clothes. If the star
of yester-evening had the slightest doubt
of the high esteem in which he is held by
local amusement-loyers that doubt must
have been dispelled when the large gather
ing gave him a reception that would have
been flattering to any artist.
