Evenings which, THEORETICALLY
speaking, spell wilt thou and We
wilt, have apparently no such effect
upon the Aborn entertainers, who at
Olympic Park execute the mimic scene
as II there was nothing in the world
they could like better to do. In "A
Chinese Honeymoon they are this
week and this old Broadway n
Strand success will furnish plenty OF
fun to patrons of the comic opera dur
ing it's all too brief duration.
A honeymoon Is something which is
usually entered into thoughtfully n
with due solemnity of spirit and mien,
but when spent in China events n
incidents become 80 mixed, m
to the participators. joyously to the
onlookers, that even an official mother
in-law fails to untangle the knots.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pineapple. h latter
formerly a s~tenographer. the former
wearing he gray hairs of the g or
discretion, have arrived in China on
their honeymoon, and there meet Pine
apples nephew, who has fallen In loVe
with Princess 500 500, disguised as a
singing girl. The Princess's uncle, EN-
peror Hang Chow, Is DESTROYS of mar
rying someone who will love him for
himself Llone, and to this end has dis
patched his admiral. bearing a photo
graph of himself as a b~ill-poster, 10

ward is to be the hand of 500 Soo, his
punishment In case of failure death by
tickling with garden rakes.
No one wants him, and Admiral HI
Lung is in despair, when he meets Mrs.
Pineapple. She consents to meet the
emperor. Because they are discovered
kissing they are declared bethrothed,
according to an old ChineIe law, and
by the same token are Mr.. Pineapple
and 500 Soc
The situation is saved by Fl Fl, an
ugly English maid, who is not exactly
averse to the idea of marrying. She
c)nfuses the ----c-or to such an extent
that he finally marries her, and she
gives Princess 500 500 a sleeping po-
ton, upon awakening from which Ii
declared free. This is because of an
other old law to the effect hat one
arising from a trance begins life anew,
wiping the past entirely.
The admiral Is sem to hang himself,
the mother-in-law directs affairs. the
Pineapples are finally restored to each
other. and the princess weds her Eng
fish sweetheart.
Miss Edna Reming as Fl Fl made so
much of her. amusing part, was so
nimble and clever in her grotesquerie
that the entertainment could be re-
membered as a background for her eff
forts, and her song, II Wants to be q
Idly" was encored. Miss D'Orsell was
as dignified as the role of princess de-
manded, due perhaps to her station In
life of matron, reached only Saturday
in Baltimore. This was reminded to
