"OUT OF DARKNESS. ''
A Large and Appreciative Audience
 at the Opera House Last Night.

Promptly at 8:15 last evening the curtain rose and from that time until the curtains went down for the last time the appreciative audience that had gathered together at the opera house to witness the drama, Out of Darkntsss," by; the Bittner Theater company, were kept in either con- tinuous burst of laughter or flow of tears. The entire cast is composed of excellent players; in fact, above the average. William w. Bittnsr, as Hans Otto,'' kept the audience in laughter throughout the entire play. He is an actor of marked ability. In the role of an intoxicated father he was especially good. Milly Stevens as Marguerite Otto," was we'll DOT trayed and she received many inno- vations. John Paden, ST., and his son, characterized by Edward B. Kelley and John Waldron in their several dia- logues, were repeatedly encored. The speciality work and the triograph were undoubtedly the best that have ever been here The opera house was filled and the audience was exceedingly demonstrative during the perform ance Every one pronounces it the best play that has been in Phoenix fer many day. The programme changes every night and MT. Bittner has se- lected his best plays and those full of wit and repartee which always please. Tonight A Tramp's Daughtsr" will be produced. Laugh and Grow Fat" is the sequel to 1t and it is needless to say that the opera house will again be filled

number of children. After Bachelor S

administration. but when she came into
court was confronted by Mrs. Susan
Bachelor, who claimed to be Wiscon-
sin wife of Bachelor. She claimed that

The Wisconsin wife secured the first VIC
tory, the court granting letters Of ad-
inistra ton to her.
Now the Guerneville widow is at
tempting to secure portion of the es-
tate on account of having served as
housekeeper for Bachelor for many
years. Much property is involved and a
formidable array of legal talent has been
employed on each side. Bachelor had
one child by his Wisconsin wife.
