“Suey San.” 19 min. F.S. This is a little play, all in rhyme and somewhat handicapped by poetical rendition so that even the poor laundry-man talks like a college professor. Nevertheless, the act is prettily presented, and Miss Bardine is very charming in her impersonation of the little slave who was brought from China to a Frisco gambling house and rescued by her laundry-man lover after he has murdered the gambler. It holds the interest throughout and makes a strong finish. If the author had been simpler in his language, it would carry stronger conviction. However, the little play made good in this spot and undoubtedly will please the evening audiences.
