Georgia. Brjton Tricked out in Its smartest musical- show finery; . "A Chinese Honeymoon" cams to the Marquam last night for the second time within a year. This la one of the largest and most gorgeous produc tions which visits the Coast and It left such a favorable Impression when it was here last Winter that a large audience was out last night at the opening of Its return engagement ,Of all the notable cast which appeared here before In the piece, not one member remains,, Even the show glrla seem to be new. and apparently no one of the oM chorus Is left The costumes and feccnery are the same, however, the book and lyrics are Intact, with an interpolation or two, and the music, the catchy, delightful melodies which kept London and New York coming for months, is all there. "A Chinese Honeymoon" Is a comic opera, and a good one. Its settings and atmosphere are almost as Oriental as "The Mikado," and the score Is full of harmony. The best thing in last night's- perform ance of It was the opening chorus of the second act "With Weary Hearts," sung by Eveleen Dunmore, as Soo Soo, and the ensemble. Miss Dunmore possesses the prize voice of the organisation. In fact, she is the only one of the women who Is vocally superior, but she Is good enough to make amends for deficiencies on the part of others. Last year's company had no such voice in it John E. Kearney was seen as "Pinean- plc." in which part John E. Henshaw ap peared to such fine advantage during the lormer visit Mr. Kearney made the part very funny, although he Is no such come dian as his predecessor. Toby Claude was the XXX feature of the show last year, and we missed her greatly last nlglit Georgia Bryton ap peared as "Fi Fi." the dlmlnuth'e freak waitress, and won great favor with the audience, in spite of the fact that she was expected to break even on tho comedy proposition with the great, little Miss Claude. The "Emperor Hong Chow is entrust ed to George B.Broderick this year, and I rather prefer his singing and acting of tne part to that of George Fortescue. who did it here before. Broderlck is a. most Interesting and benign giant, and is the owner of a magnificent bass voice. The important role of Mrs. Pineapple is assigned to Bcgina McAvoy, who Is good-looking young person, with much dancing ability. Mabella Baker plays the omciai motner-m-iaw very well. One of the most delightful things In the performance was the Interpolated song "Oolong LI, as given by a young woman whose name does not appear on the pro gramme, and the chorus. The song Is the work of Joseph E. Miller, who played "Chippie Chop," and Edward Howe, musical director of tne company, it s a gem. and ought to become very popular. The company is large and, as a whole. competent Its members work hard, and are successful in making A Chinese Honeymoon" a fine entertainment. It would help things greatly, however, if John Kearney, would omit his atrocious local gags. He evidently framed them up with the idea that the Coast tour was a jay-town proposition, but he s mistaken They were all worked out years ago, and they won t do. There will be a final performance to night A. A. G WOOLEN HELL MAY BE REBUILT Sellwood to Consider Proposition to Erect a New Plant.
