For he was kind and no one was ever

while everybody loved Tuna.
One morning Tuna went down to the
river to fish. and as he sat on q log
watching his line he; heard a cry of dis
tress at his back He looked around and
saw a tiny river gnome struggling to

And 10. to his surprise the cloth was

So he spent part of the money in FIX

away and some he gave to help his poor
neighbors. Soon his hut was showing
the prosperity of its owner, and there
was an abundance of everything to eat
and drink, while Tuna wore the best of
clothing and showed all kinds of char

But all this made Kama jealous. He
wanted to get rich, too, SO he made

To one who has seen THE Chorus

mark that Miss Stakl has a keen sense
of humor is no news at all. Washing
ton audiences will see Miss Stahl this
time in the title role of Maggie Pep
per-" Charles Klein's play Of depart
ment store -life, which comes to the
New National Theater next week. Miss
Stahl was possessed a deep fund of
this most valuable asset when she
started out in life. but subsequent trials
and hard work. which are the stepping
stones of every successful star, have
imbued her with quaint and cheerful
philosophy which enables her to play
such roles as THE Chorus Lady" and
Maggie. Pepper, with wonderful in
tuition and feeling. After seeing Rose
stahl in either Of these roles no one can
doubt that the old saying that the

Much of this understanding Miss
Stahl is able to impart to her audiences
comes from the actress herself, for
from her own explanation OF her sue

said:

was SO abundant. and the struggle so
