King of the Opium Ring.

The successful sensational melodrama. "King of the Opium Ring" which has been presented at the Academy of Music, New York, for 150 nights. comes to the Jefferson theatre next Friday night.
 Few plays have been seen on the stage that reflect Chinese character as 1t is. True, the Chinaman was introduced on the stage many years ago, as a comedy but seldom. If ever. has he been shown as a type of nation. refiecting national customs, institutions and manners. In ''The King of the Opium Ring" this is effected for the first time. The plot is laid in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown and takes place about 1900 The first act shows Dead Mans Dock, with the Golden Gate in the distance. The second act represents the Chinese quarters under ground: the home of the highbinder, and the headquarters of the smugglers in which the opium fiends are seen practicing the terrible vice, that of smoking the dread drug. The third act shows the entrance to the Fong Quay Club. the scene changing to Sacramento street on the occasion of the celebration of the Chinese New Year. The street Is decorated and lighted with lanterns and shows the Orient on a festival night. Act fourth shows the assembly rooms of the Gong Quay Club. in which an American Chinese wedding takes place. Specialties are introduced as part of the festivities.
