THE FATNESS OF HEALTH
Samose Fills Out The Curves and
Makes Thin People Fat

If YOU are thin. your health is not
what it should be. If you are losing
weight steadily there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once. You cannot be healthy and strong
if you are thin
Perfect health and good, solid beauti-
f,ll flesh can only come through the use
of Samose, the remarkable flesh form
ing food
Samose is not a drug or stimulant;
IT is a scientific f1esh-forming food that
restores thin people to a normal condi-
ton of good healthy flesh.
There are thousands of unhappy ner-
vous thin people who would look and
feel entirely different if they were only
fat and plump. Let them use Samose
and they will soon notice remarkable
results.
These statements are confirmed By
Geo. w. Stansfields offer to refund the
money to anyone buying and using
Samose who does not gain in weight as
promised. The risk is all his. The thin
and scrawny can buy Samose at Drug
gist Stansfield's store, 632 Kansas ave-
nue., Topeka, with the knowledge that
if it is not successful it will cost alb
soltely nothing. Sent post paid on re-
ceipt Of price, so cents.

POLISH ACTRESS
IN TRAGIC PLAY
PROVES A JOKE
Nine. Viarda and Incapable
Company Bore Belasco :
Audience.

Just how funny a serious play can be
when acted In an extremely amateur.
Ish manner was demonstrated at the
Belascc Theater yesterday when 2
fair-sized audience gathered to hear
Madame Alexandra Viarda, heralded az
1.-The eminent Polish tragedienne," and
her notable cast in Frederick Vor
Schiller's Bride OF Messina."
From news that had preceded Nine
Viarda, Washingtonians had been told
that she was the leading tragic actress
OF her native land, and that she had
won fame in European capitals. What
could they do but believe?
Schiller IL dead-therefore mil nisl
bonum," but the old adage does not
prevent one from hoping that this par
ticular play of his will not return to
Washington in the near future. In the
first place, II is necessarily a translation
and therefore loses much of its orig
inal force. Again, It Is filled with
ton and bore the audience, and Nine.
Viards's version of the tragedy fairly
exuded dramatic utterances.
Filled With Dramatic Utterances.
"Oh. horrors!' 1T r. my SOM" my

ence.
The story of the play-that of two
brothers who fall in love with the same
girl only TO discover that she is their
sister, whereupon one kills the other
and then commits suicide-is melodra-
matte in the extreme, and another YER
sion of the play would doubtless carry
conviction across the footlights, but
Madame Viarda failed to rouse heI
audience to anything but laughter.
One Is almost tempted to pass over
the acting" of the piece, but its I'M
usual quality entities II to some notice
II TO no praise. The star herself was
much handicapped by her scanty knowl-
edge OF English. which at times robbed
her words OF all their meaning, and
which, when combined with an emo
tional tremolo stop which she used
often, rendered her almost unintelligible
to the audience. She, as well as the
remainder OF the cast, was also troubled
with a faulty memory. and the voice
of the prompter was often heard from
the wings.
Piece Was Burlesque.
Mime. Viardas reading OF the scenes
in the last act, when she realizes that
Don Caesar has killed his brother. was
excellent but by this time the audience
was convinced that the piece was in
tended for a burlesque, and treated II
as such. Eric Blind. as Don Caesar,
and Mr.. his first name was not men,
toned on the program) Cushman as
Don Manuel, stormed and strutted
through the roles Of the two brothers,
losing their peaked velvet caps at the
most inopportune Tires, and otherwise
convulsing the audience with totally in
appropriate stage business.

School Holidays
Begin Next Thursday

All school children OF Washington are
looking forward to next Thursday as
the beginning of the Easter holidays
with ten full days away from school, 1t
has been estimated that the Washington
schools have lad more holidays this
year than for many years in the past.
According to the rule of the Board Of
Education, If a holiday falls on Thurs
day, the next day shall be added to the
list.
On two occasions this year b. reason
has been added, making four straight
days off. 4 four-day period was en-
toyed at Washlngton's Birthday, and
on May so another four-day schedule
will obtain. In addition to the regular
holidays the schools have been closed
on a number of days this year on &C
count of the unusual cold weather.
