 Tom Morrow. business manager for Jules Murry's theatrical attractions, numbering among which are Mme Modjesl>a, "The Marriage of Kitty" Louis Morrison, Paul Gilmore and
 
 arrangements to bring to this city what will probably prove to be one of the best theatrical performances of the local season.
 "The Marriage of Kitty" is the title of the play to be presented at the Doris theater, and Alice Johnson. who so ably portrayed the character of the charming widow in "A Friend of the Family" in this city two sea sons ago, is the bright, pal ticular star of the enga cement. Miss Johnson needs but. little introduction to the theater goers of Phoenix. Her magni- ficent work in "A Friend of the Fam fly" remains still fresh in their minds. Notwithstanding the fact that it has been two years since she appeared here, even the patrons of the theater in this city who have not seen her, are well acquainted with her name and will look forward to her coming with much interest.
 Miss Johnson's play, "The Marriage of Kitty" IS especially fitted to her. It is a society comedy, and though her admirers in this city know her to be an emotional actress of infinite charm, it will please them to know that she appears to better advantage in the lighter role. the simple state ment of which fact is sufficient 10 secure a large interest in her produc- tion and secure a good patronage.
 'The Marriage of Kitty" is, in a way simple play while it is at the same time one of the happiest conceptions of the dramatic title ever seen in this country. After a long season in Eng land it was chosen by Charles Froh- man, one Of the best known managers in America, to open his season at the Empire theater in New York City, with Miss Marie Tempest playing the part of Kitty.
 That his judgment was faultess in it's selection was demonstrated by the generous patronage accorded it, and the unstinted praise of the press and public in that city. It contains not semblance of a moral problem: offers no room for deep or serious thought; but with the simple aid of the count less happily conceived situations; hap py phrases and the most lovable char acter in the world, causing a smile one minute, a laugh the next, and a tug at the heart strings a third; it clears the cobwebs out of the mind and sends all who have seen it home in the best humor in the world, with good will in their hearts to all and especially Kitty.
 Miss Johnson will present "The Mar riage of Kitty" with a full comple- ment of scenery necessary to the pro- duction, and a company of merit sell dom introduced outside of New York City. at the Doris theater Monday and Tuesday, December 11th and I2th
