Ofsthe summer plays now running
In New York "A Chinese Honeymoon''
is destined to be the longest lived. AL
though there have been many success
sive nights of high temperature in the
city and the Casino has a very large
seating capacity the show is going
merri1y at every performance to as

pretty and tuneful show that even the
most blase Broadwayites shout braves
In addition to their hand-claps when
the numerous distinctive hits are
made. One of the good features which

been gathered from private papers in
the possession of the Emmett family
which were kindly placed at the dis
