 lt will be a revelation Co the audi ence when the stage is revealed for the first time. as the scenery is eu. tirely new and no one would, for a moment recognize the old familiar setting of the Orpheum stage With the bright and brilliant costumes amid the novel stage surroundings the opening appearance of the com. pany should be a magnificent intro. duction of the long awaited riot of revelry
 While there is undoubtedly a great demand for the seats for the opening performance. yet no one should be mislead by an erroneous impression which has, apparently. been created in a more or less degree throughout the district Somhow or otheg the impression went abroad that the seats for the opening show had an been sold out Such. however. is not the case. There are stiU good seats to be had lt would appear neyerthe- less. a fair tip to suggest to local theatregoers to get their sets as early as possible. today
 Director Ten Broeck is surely hay. ing wonderful success with the work of training the great company of amateurs while he has had the good fortune of being surrounded by young people of more than ordinary talent. yot he deserves a lot Of credit He has injected a life, enthusiasm and snap into the whole affair which would have been impossible. had he not possessed the skill of the true artist coupled with am innate love for the work
 Seldom has a show of such preten. tious ambition been presented on any stage in this section of the South. west. lt is an effort which. when car. ried to its ultimate triumph. should brine pride Co every citizen who takes interest in the accomplishments of the youth of Bisbee Not only will Che show be- well worth seeing from every viewpoint of the lover of roIIickiua and wholesome musical comedy. but there will be the added interest re- sulting from che presence in the cas, of the ambitious and talented young people Of Bisbee

 The author Of the piece has had Oul one object in view that being to eu tertain He has not exercised an, . allecJauou in the attempt to injec 1 some hypoCriucal lesson He has ] however, chung Co the highest stand ard of caretree, clean Iaughter-prC ! yo1iug comedy never fore moment descending to the slightest sugge' !. ton Of the subtle or commonplace.
