Title Chinese Grand Opera.
Abstract/Description A Chinese opera! How the haughty lip of the 'culchawed' curls like a patent kiss curl at the very idea. Opera, Chinese opera — an ABOMINATION OF DISCORDANT NOISES, dragging their interminable lengths from week end to week end like a well paid Royal Commission. Such is the popular fallacy, or rather the fallacy of the populace, carefully nurtured by the daily religious organs that take their historical facts and current topics from the dull fictions of missionary reports. The man on the corner, gleaning his information from the pious' nitrations of his newspaper, will tell you authoritatively that an OPERA WITH THE CHINESE will run strongly for six months, not out.
