"A CHINESE HONEYMOON" AT
THE METROPOLITAN.

A musical comedy that has made
good in London and New York for
hundreds of consecutive weeks, which
means that just a few people have
found it entertaining, will open a
weeks engagement at the Metropolitan
opera house this evening.
Notwithstanding it's Oriental title, "a
Chinese Honeymoon" is of English ex-
traction. If it is as clever an achieve
ment as THE Runaway Girl" San
Toy THE Gaiety Girl and THE
Geisha Girl" which the late Augustin
DAILY produced so successfully, it will
be welcome.
Like its predecessors, "a Chinese
Honeymoon" is said to be distinguish
ed for the combined cleverness and
cleanliness Of it's lines. decency in cos
tuning and the melody of its lyrics.
The libretto of "A Chinese Honey
moon" is by George Dance, and the
music is from the pen of Howard Tai

The Theater Magazine for October gives
an interesting sketch of Ermeti NoVelH,
the celebrated Italian actor who is about
to make tour of the United States. 1t
says:
Novelli is now in the prime of his career,
having but lately turned ffty-he was
born in Lucca in 1851. OF good family and
classical education his natural intelligence
and prediction for the stage have been
fostered IN the best schools, while his
strongly marked physiognomy from the
first gave definite direction to his amb1-
tious talents. In this respect his case is
like that of the elder Coquelin; and he
resembles the French comedian in INTEL
lectuaI sublety of characterization, no loss
than in certain distinctiVely natural
methods of his art At the age of fifteen,
at Milan. His success brought him at once
into the professional ranks, where he won
an early reputation in the line of comic
jeune premiers. This seemed manifest
destiny, with the big-nose comedy mask
which nature had given him. He wisely

played two years with Paolo Ferrari, who
in his time was considered Italy's greatest

heavy. now became Novelli'S specially;
and his active mind reached out for the
worlds dramatic masterpieces. He acted
in his own versions-or reductions. as the
Italians call them-of Shakespeare's
Hamlet. "OthelIo," Merchant of Ven

Coquelin. he has written monologues by
the hundred, and delivers them with in
imitable effect. In 1874, heading his own
company, Novelli became circuit direc-

sothern Produces New PLAY.

Justin H. McCarthy's new four-act play,
1.-The Proud Prince" was given its first
pres ntation last Tuesday night at the De-
troit opera house, E. H. Sothern taking
the part of Robert of Sicily, son of Robert
the Good. His part is a fascinating study
of character an extraordinary instance of
inward spirit working upon outward man,
powerful and convincing as acting, i'm
pressive in its spiritual import, model of
theatrical elocution, and a symmetrical
bodying forth of a clear cut and consist
ent conception of an ideal. Mr. Sotherns
Interpretation of the part met with ap-

Mr.. Sothern's principal support is Miss
Cecilia Lotus, to whom is assigned the
part of Perpetua. She is not always cas-
lily followed by reason of failure to send
her voice to all parts of the theater, but
otherwise her portrayal Of the role was
pleasing. ~
Miss Mary Hail. as Lycabetta, has the
gem part among the women as an acting

sense of the word as applied to art.
