AUDIENCE APPLAUDS WORK
Commencement Exercises Will be Held
at the Opera House This Evening
With Professor Nathaniel Butler as
the Speaker.

Members of the senior class of the
Kenosha high school made distinct
hit at the Rhode Opera House on Thurs
day evening when the annual class play
pletely filled the main auditorium and
the balcony of the theatre and the work
of the amateur players was so excellent
~ done that they were forced to re-
I6pond to curtain calls after each act of
the play. The offering of the class
was MIR. Bob decidedly clever
two-act comedy and while amateur pro-
auctions Of 'EMr. Bob had been given
in Kenosha before the production of
Thursday evening was so splendidly
Epetent cast of characters that it proved
to be the most successful play ever
given by high school students in Ke-
nosha. The play was put on under the
direction of Miss Marie Heating, prin-
! cipal Of the Columbus school and her
work had much to do with the success
of the production.
In the production of the play every
possible detail of stage setting was well
carried out the play went off with
a smoothness that usually characterizes
only the most finished professional
dramatic offerings.
It was notable cast of characters
Miss Aileen Shepherd in the name part
was charming coincidence and played
the part of the strenuous college girl
in way that called for repeated ap-
plause. Miss Helena Hammond, who
took the part of Katherine Rogers,
proved charming in the part and shar-
ed the honors of the. evening with "Mr.
Bob. Miss Genevieve Kelley as
Rebecca Luke the maiden lady, had
one Of the most difficult parts in the
play and she certainly acted her part
with grace and with such force that it
was decidedly interesting to the large
audience. The part of "Patty" was
taken by Miss Grace Robinson and she
made decidedly clever maid, contri-
buting much of the comedy of the en-
tertainment.
Ben Buckmaster had the part of
"Phihp Royson," and he certainly
won laurels in the production. The
part offered chance for competent
acting and Mr.. Buckmaster measured
up to the part at all times. His work
brought applause many times during
the play. Charles Thomas and Cyril
Kotz had the other men parts in the
play and both were excellently cast
for their parts in the performance.

CHARGES CRUEL TREATMENT.
Mrs. Mary Witter Asks Decree of Di
vorce From Husband.

in the municipal court this morning
summons and complaint was filed in the
suit of Mary Witter against her hus-
band, Charles G. Witter. Mrs. Witter
asks divorce on charges of cruel and
inhuman treatment. The couple were
married at Muskegon, Mich, in 1907,
and since that time had spent their
time in Milwaukee and Kenosha. The
wife alleges in her complaint that in
March 1910, the husband left Kenosha
in company with another woman, but
returned six weeks later and she con-
scented to reconciliation. Since that
time she alleges that he had renewed
cruel treatment and that this was the
second time that she had started an
action for divorce in this county. The
case will be tried at the July term of
the municipal court.
