Leo Jameson when he finds him In
Cvnthia's company, but the boy knocks

actress. Lee follows her, and all ends
happily.
John Bowers, who played the part of
Lee Jameson, was repeatedly applaude d
for his graceful acting. Ted V. Almond.
playing the role of Joshua Tubbs, was
successful in keeping the audience IN
good humor during the time he was on
the stage. Edwin Dale, as James Har-
grave, gave one OF the best impersona-
tons of nerve-wTecked murderer seen
at the Academy this season. Sam j.
Burton as an old colored house-servant,

MILE. TRENT|N| IN
NAUGHTY MARIETTA
PROVES A DELIGHT
Little Star Causes Wonder
and Admiration-Music
Appealing.

Naughty Marietta" returned to the
National last night after years alb
sence, and the sparkling comic opera
and its star, Mile. Emma Trentini, found
another appreciative audience ready to
applaud Victor Herbert's appealing mu-
sic, Rita Johnson's book, and the enter
tanning Mile. Trentini and her company.
Mile. Trentinl was her vivacious, tai
ented self, but the supporting company
suffers perhaps through the absence OF
several familiar faces. An extended re-
view of Naughty Marietta" after its
successful production in Washington
and elsewhere is superfluous today.
The scenes are laid in New Orleans In
1880, and the plot deals with slave girls,
quadroon bellies, adventures, villains,
pirates, and other characters regarded
as somewhat necessary to successful
comic opera.
Trentini with her Irresistible Vivacity,
her magnificent voice, her sprightliness,
and her charming mannerisms, scored
an artistic triumph again last evening.
The rather diminutive singer holds a
niche all her own on the comic opera
stage, and her animation caused wonder
and admiration on the part of the large
audience that thronged the National last
evening.
Mile. Trentini's best songs of course
are the Italian street Song" and I'm
Falling in Love with Some One" Henry
Taylor Is a capable Capt. Richard War
rington, and many OF his Madame But
tcrfly" admirers were on hand to well
come him last evening. Harriet Mar
lotte plays the familiar role of Llzette
the Casket girl, and her presence on
the stage last evening was the cause OF
constant mlrth. Her comedy work was
really refreshing.
Harry Turpin is coed comic. opera
villain, and the supporting cast Is ade-
Quate. There's 4 large chorus. too, that
deserves mention Cor the enthusiasm
with which it helps to produce this
opera IF old New orleans. An aug
mentcd orchestra. under the direction ut
Arturo PapLl irdO, rendered the nineteen
numbers in the Herbert score. anC

plauSc last evening.

Julia Murdock Says Flaming of ShreIv"
Is Sot1ern and MarLo1ue Triumph

When, in the dog days of summer,
dramatic critics run out of ideas and
grope blindly for subjects on which to
discourse, they usually indite an essay
on one of three points-the art of Mrs.
Fiske, the evils of the starring sys-

popular favor?"
To those who attended the opening
performance of the Sothern-Marlowe en-
gagement at the Belasco last evening,
however, there was no need for a
lengthy dissertation on the last-named
subject; 1t was answered before the
rise of the curtain-an o'clock curtain

be purchasers OF seats that there was

in the afternoon by the carpenters who
removed the tier of mezzanine boxes,
substituting three rows of seats, and
who moved the orchestra under the
stage, thus giving some thirty addi-
tional persons a chance to witness THE
Tanning of the Shrew;" and, best Of
ALL it was answered by the rapt atten-
ton and enthusiastic applause, the crit
ical demeanor and ardent appreciation,
which the audience evinced in the pro-
duction.

While thinness may not be dis

This remarkable flesh-forminG food

builds up the fleshy tissues so that
good, natural olumpness results.
An ounce of flesh is better than a

believes that the best possible DEM

Relief From Trouble Received
From Unexpected Source.

GUS in His Case.
CHANGE REMARKABLE
H. 7. Neiswender Heartily Re-
commends Foreign Method.
An Interesting Topic is Freely
Discussed Here.

The best proof in the world of merit
is the testimony of people who have
actually tested Il thing. Mr.. H. Z.
Neiswender, of RossvilIe, also We'll
known in this city, made the following
statement about the new tonic, ''Tona
Vita" recently.
Mr.. Neiswender said: Il did not be-
ieVe any medicine could help me so
quickly. From the questions the
specialist asked me he seemed to
know how 1 have felt for some time
This gave me enough confidence to
try the medicine. iona Vita has done
me great good and 1 think it is a
great tonic and good blood medicine.
The very first dose improved my con-
dition and 1 have continued to get bet
ter. L can certainly recommend 1t to
any one
People who are nervous and irri-
table, have imperfect digestion, stom-
ach disorders, lack energy and am BIZ
ton, feel melancholy and discouraged,
suffer with headaches, backaches,
poor memory unsound sleep, irregular
circulation, have pallid complexions
and cold feet are Enthusiastically suf-
fering with nervous debility, that dis
tressing condition which is so COM
mon in all cities, where natures linn
itatOnS are more apt to be exceeded,
said one of these specialists recently.
There are hundreds of such half
sick men and women in Topeka who
really do not know exactly what is the
specialist, and they struggle aim
lessly along until they become totally
debilitated and often come to US SUI
fering with this painful condition in
its most aggravated form. We have
preparation that will positively remove
this condition and restore the organs
of the body to a healthy normal state
The specialists are stationed at the
Arnold Drug Company No. 523 Kansas
Avenue. where they are meeting the
public and explaining the nature of
their new preparation between the
hours of a. m. and p. m.
The sale of this new medicine is now
the biggest thing of the kind ever seen
in this city and each succeeding day
marks an increase of interest. 'Tona
Vita is proving a complete revelation
to the thousands of half-sick, listless,
run down men and women of the city
who did not know exactly what was
the matter with them. 1t would be
well for as many as can to visit the
above drug store and inspect the large
number of testimonials from those
who have been benefited by the new
tonic and who have undoubted faith
in it as a remedy of unusual value.
