I«w the "Mikado" poorly rendered at the Baldwin where, however, & very mod Gamut comedy was performed the following Sunday. 1 iThen I saw a native piece called " Rahche No: 10 " at one of the leas'aristo cratic houses. For downright stupidity , , vulgarity and coarseness no Hast End penny gaff could excel the acting, or rather the buffoonery. The plot was good, and with even moderately good acting the piece would have been respectable. Aβ It was', the points of the chief female riU were to stick the arms akimbo arid say:— "That's a matter of β-pinion." The chief villain of the piece, had to hiss loudly, roll his eyes, end gnaah his teeth whenever he spoke; bat thin be haviour seemed so intensely natural to the audience that they actually hissed with approval as he was escorted to the lynching tree. Of course revolvers,an Indian squaw, sheriffs, cowboys, and " jedges" formed part of the cast, and the fact that the audience applaudedthe claptrap - though-violent sentiment indulged-in by the ''good" characters, seems to show that there is still room for improvement in the American idea of chivalry. After such poor entertainments I had recourse to the salvation Army, where Commander Booth sang some songs on his knees to the accompaniment of a concertina. The vast audience, however, was both appre ciative and attentive. Mr Barrlngton Booth ingeniously seized upon an enthusiastic moment to call upon all vrfio approved of the Army to hold up thj|r hands. " Then," said he, V all who have held up their hand must pay a dollar. On this , I transferred myself to a five-cent lager saloon. ~ , At New Orleans I witnessed j;he raitfaej of Tom Taylor's comedy, "An unequal Match." An English baronet In; morn ing dress, at' the German baths, wore aa open black frock coat, black' "panta. a black dress waistcoat or "vest/ , -and aft expanse of white shirt, an "elevated" modern collar, and a. thin black tie, with a pot hafc. An English lady's morolngdrees (so far as I can describe such things) waa pink and white silk and lace, bare arms, a low , neck, a fan, and a modern dress laV , prorer, date 1888-9.
