widow, stu in mourning. proved
that she was neither profiigate
nor spendthrift, Monday. in Judge
Hulbert's court. Mrs. Roumania

husband, admitted that she had fur
nished the information on which
was based the petition to have a

tate.

building almost rock with applause.
"A Day at Ocean Beach" is the
headline feature, and there are
three men and nine women In the
company with setting that repre-
sents the front porch OF resort
hotel. The production is mostly re-
markable for the costumes, as the
girls wear dozen OF them for the

the whole cast is on as italians, is
particularly noteworthy. Most OF
