A Score of Accomplished Come-
di\n *
S. F. Chronicle.
Wth n view to ascertaining by
critical insnco ion how thintfs rcorubu-
ing crtrriocl un , thoatricvtlly spenkinp ,
in the Ohinoso ijuarlor during the re
cent New Year cult bration , n reporter
of The Chtoniclo paid n visit during
the past week to that dingy structure
on Jackson street1 , bottroon Koarny
and Dupont. which bears the pretentious -
tious appellation of the Royal Hong
Theater. Passing bolnw thuso gloaming
ing rows of varlegated Ja itorns which
swing in front uf the "high-toned"
restaurant which tl units itself froin
the top story of the building , the re
porter , accomplished by Asmodous , n
follow-thirstcr nftur knowludijo
, os-
ojiulcd the steep , narrow and rickety
wooden stairs which lead to the box-
office , where the Celestial Cerberus
dispenses bits of hicroglyphiually em-
bosud paper in exchange for 'Mulican
coin. After some parley with this
ollicial , and the passage of some ani
mated raparteo between him nnd the
doorkeeper , the span of investigators
'ore admitted into the body of the
boater. To any that the plnco was
rowdod conveys no idea of its actual
0 million. The close , unornamontcd ,
iugy wooden benches were literally
lacked , jammed , with n monotonous
rray of blue blouses , yellow faces and
ilacic slouched hats , The area , nt
ho tftjk of the sea's , the center
isloa nnd the side pamages leading to
ho stage , likewise ullo ol no apparent
neans of getting to the front , and the
irospect looked somewhat blue till n
oolio brushed past , bnaring on his
load an immense BUgar-coatco. pngnda
if A cake , and elbowed his way dntrn
ho right hand aide passage. Hero
was the chance , and Asmodous nnd
ho scribe elbowed their way towards
ho sir go in the rear of the pagoda
nan. Arrived at the prosoonium , or ,
athcr , the plnco where it ought to
iaro boon had there boon ono , the
oolio dolirorcd his burden to some
lUtstrotchod hands upon the stage ,
tid vanished as it were , into space ,
ow it waa evident that both sides of
lie stagn , which is destitute of wings ,
conory or any such ndn nod dram iti'c
araphornnlia , were occupied by spec-
ntors of the same class as thoao in the
uditoriutn ; and if by them , why not
iy others ? Asmoduu i , who is of an
Xgrcssivo disposition , beckoned to
ho two nearest Mopgoli un the plat-
orm above liiui ) und putting a bit a
ilvor ono between Ilia tteth was in
ontiiiontly hoisted by the hands
hrcnigh the intervening Cvo foot u )
pace which separated the stage from
ho auditorium , nnd having arrived
here did the sumo ofUco fur his com-
mnion , his utTurts supplemented by a
'lei11 from a sturdy Mongol bonrath.

ho face of any out ) . Tho' thing was
ample opportunity lo observe all that
wua going on.
OnSEUVlTIONH OX TUK.KTAOK.
Below , in the auditorium , a vast
sea of human faces , rank upon rank ,
"ooking intently nt the actors ; occupy
ing a space of some thirty foot square
in the center of the stage the
actors themselves , backed by the
orchestra ; > ranged at each side of the
stngo , in a free and cosy way , some
liundrod Chinamen , standing close up
to the central upaco reserved for the
players. No division line , no soon-
cry , no wings , no slips , nothing bu
nn exhibition as simple , as primitive ,
is go-aa-you-ploaso as could possibly
bo the rendition of the ICdipus Ty-
rannus on Attic boards nay , much
more so , for wo have 119 authority for
mppoaing that the audience in the
alter inatanco vrcro admitted on the
atago. Three , four or fivo.aotors.gpr.-
joously costumed , hold the boards'at
1 tune , bowing and salaaming , gestic
ulating and talking with much anima
tion , and entering nnd oxitinf by
.urns throughcurtained doors.loading
, o the back. Onq could plainly dis
cern from the pantomime the charac-
.era of the jilted spouse , the angry
wrcnt , the ftu orod lover and other
veil known accessory roles of the so
ciety drama , homogeneous , doubtless
all the world over. An old lady , ovi *
dently the Mrs. Judah of the piece ,
was full of jokes , and kept the audi
ence convulsed during the declama
tion of her lines. There was a song
and dance .interlude by all hands ;
, hcro was an operatic melody to the
.unoful accompaniment of the bool-a-
jang ; there was music rendered by an
irohestra of three , who sat immediate-
y behind the players , and not bat
nusio either , even measured by a
Caucasian standard , taking into con-
ideration the string and wind instru
ments employed , whoso chief meril
scorns to bo in their shrillness.
flEAUTIE8OK THE aUKENUOOW.
Present' ? a sudden tap on the
shoulder from behind caused the reporter
porter to tutu.
"Como with me , " said a forbidding
looking Mongol , much as a policeman
might do , at the same tlmo leading
the way to the curtained door at back
of Iho stage. Asmodous had diaap
peared. There was nothing to do but
follow with somewhat gloomy fore
bodings of the usual fate that befalls
intruders. The door , however , merely
ly opened into the greenroom , and i
appeared that the business manager
Yung Sing , for ho it wan who had given
on tliu authoritivo numinous just re
uorilvil , only wanted to introduce hi
Caucasian quests to the i.ctors am
iiiaku himsulf generally agreeable
The actors numbered twenty , and th
polite Yung Sing , with his own hand
wrote down the names as follows
Lung Hong , FOOR Sang , Cow On
Luug , Ah You , Ah Koe , Ah Yun , Sui
Yen , Ah Fao , Ah Ouw , Ah Ban. A
King , Ah Sing , Ah Lie , Ah Iling

the sake of the uninitiated in sucl

Some dozen of these "beauties" loung
