Description
"A Chinese Honeymoon" was performed at the Grand Opera House in Jauaary 1904. The musicial starred James Henshaw and Stella Tracey, but a "Seattle Daily Times" review of the production credited Toby Claude with stealing the show. Mack Sennett is believed to have been in this production, although he is not listed in the program. The Grand's programs only list performers of principal roles. Sennett went on to be a hugely successful film actor, most notably in slapstick comedies such as his Keystone Cops series.
