KING OF THE OPIUM RING.

The Chinese quarter of the city of
San Francisco is the only place in
America where the Chinaman really
feels at home Chinatown in any other
American city is but a name; in San
Francisco it is a facsimile of men and
things in the land of Ii Hung Chang.
Charles f. Blaney and Charles A. Tay-
lor, the authors of THE King of the
Opium Ring" which will be seen at
the Academy of Music on Tuesday
night next, have successfully copied San
FranciscoS Chinatown. The environ
ments and costumes are said to be per-
feet.
The story of the play is intensely
melodramat;c. THE King of the OPP
ium Ring fails into the power of tltc
highlander, and to save himself from
Imprisonment, he sells the Queen to
the willy Chinaman. who proposes to
marry her rhe Queen" is abducted
by the highbinder's emissaries, and just
in the nick of time to prevent the mar
riage appea IS upon the scene, Iron
Sides an old sailor, who has discover
ed that he is the Queens" father.
While the theme of the melodrama is
on new lines there is lots of fun and
comedy in the action. Seats now on
