In the Qroonroom ot a Mon. golian Theater. 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 ?

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.
