CHINESE MELODRAMAS.
Sixteen Acts Long and Take Two
Weeks to Play.

From Leslies Weekly
The average Chinese melodrama is about
sixteen acts long, and never take moro
than two weeks to play. A Chinese pro-
duction possesses at least one distinguish
ing feature in that it is interpreted en-
trely by men. Drama, comedy or comic
opera, it matters not-the immutable law
of China demands that no woman shall
set foot upon the stage. And Chuch Con-
nors is prepared to swear that the, Chin
ese stage manager could play "The Black
Crook" or La Belle Helene" without the
aid of a single chorus girl.
Over the audience rests settled, i'm
movable Stiffness unbroken even by
sigh. No expression referable to sorrow,
sympathy, joy or tears lightens the blank
dead wall of the faces The Chinaman IS
impregnable. De Wolf Hopper in joyous
mood Francis Wilson tumbling up four
flights of property stairs, D'Artagan play
ing cut-and-thrust with half a kings COM
pany, or Irving writhing in the last ago.
MES of Matthias dream, would fail to move
him. He is beyond emotion, beyond sur
prise. When the villain, who has been
stage under the escort of the property
man, who has been nudging him back 70
life, his face never moves. Only once do
his eyes change, and that is while the
propertyman is on the stage, and he IS
never off it.
The Chinese propertyman sees his duty
to the management, and puts it into prac-
teal effect. No property" shall escape
him. He gathers all things by the way
When the Chinese Romeo Stays Tybalt the
propertyman steps on the stage, gathers
up Tybalts sword, cap and cloak and
things and walks off with them. He
would enter Macbeths banquet hall While
that weakened monarch was exercising
Banquos ghost, gather up the goblets ana
plates in one arm and Macbeth's char
with the other and carry them away. he
would pluck the roses from Elaine
breast; he would take the dagger from
Juliets dead hand: he would interrupt
Hamlets soloquy in the churchyard with
a request for Yorricks skull, and ne
would interpose in the murder of Des-
demona to remove the pillows from hen
bed,
