Playbill Vault's Today In Theatre History: April 28 by David Gewirtzman and Anne Bradley

1900 Cho-Cho San and her passionate and tragic love illuminate David Belasco's adaptation of John Luther Long's story, Madame Butterfly. It is oddly paired on a double bill at The Duke of York's Theatre in London, with a comedy by Jerome K. Jerome, Miss Hobbs. Giacomo Puccini will later use the Belasco play as the basis for his opera.
