Don't Blame "Spring Fever"
For that "Down-and-out" Feeling

This whole condition Is but the re-
suit Of impurities in the blood that
have been accumulating and make
themselves felt more distinctly with
the change of seasons. They show
that nature needs assistance in giving
the system a general housecleaning.
Everybody Just now needs a few
bottles Of S. S. s., the great vege-
table blood remedy, to purify their
blood and cleanse It of Impurities. II is
good for the children, for it gives
them new strength and puts their sys-
tenn in condition so they can more
easily resist the many ailments so
prevalent in summer. S. s. s. is with
out an equal as a general tonic and
system builder. It improves the ap-
petite and gives new strength and
vitality to both old and young.

NationaI--s'The Yellow Jacket.
After the lapse Of several years ''The
Yellow Jacket" comes to US again, fol-
lowing its successful revival in New
York, with the effect OF an invigorating
tonic for the playgoer jaded with the
commonplaces ofNthe passing season. II
is strange medicine that Hazelton and
Benrimo have concocted In this Chinese
fantasy, but the taste and the power Of
It are good. The worn devices of our
own theater breed staleness In our souls,
and there Is cool refreshment to be had
in this glimpse OF the drama from the
viewpoint OF an older world.
Tho conventions Of the Chinese stage.
which are zealously reproduced in The
Yellow Jacket" in such manner as to
arouse mingled laughter and admiration,
have that apparent childishness of the
Orient that so often wells profound ar
tistic wisdom. They may and in fact
often do. repel and bore the casual Amer
lean spectator, but he will find himself
repaid II he will but yield them little
sympathetic attention. The imagination
expands under their subtle appeal and
glows more brightly just because Of the
absence of the sober realism of our west
ern stalking. The emphasis laid on the
ludicrous side Of Chinese notions in this
production Is Just the right sugar coating
to make the lesson palatable.

BeIasco-aThe Blue Paradise

In the midst of the second act of The
Blue Paradise" Just after the rendition
Of one OF its many tuneful songs. some
one remarked last night in one OF those
audible whispers which occur when the
house Is quiet, that's all right" That
sums up the opinion of the packed house
that sat, heard and saw this weeks Of
tering at the Belasco. "The Blue
Paradise" is quite the most satisfying
musical show Washington has had the
pleasure OF attending in a long while. 1t
Ii not alone in the wealth OF melody,
nor in the wholesome comedy, nor yet in
the spirit Of joyousness which permeates
the production. 1t is in the whole en-
semble as well as in, all its particulars
that THE Blue Paradise" satisfies.
There is a spontaneity in its presen-
tation that meets with instant response
from the audience. The company does
not enact merriment or joyousness. II is
merry and Joyous.
The carefree love of life and the
good things Of life Of the golden hours
Of youth; the pledge OF eternal love; the
sudden departure from the merry COM
rades and the one little girr' to face the
sterner business of life; The longing,
years after to re-ensct the I'D camara-
derie, to sing the old songsand to see
again the girl OF the old days, and the
tutility OF trying to grasp the bubble of
rernlhlscenco are woven together into a
pleasing plot that affords wonderful op-
portunities for the artistic presentation
Of a score which for sheer quantity Is
remarkable and for artistic merit is in
a class with the productions OF Gilbert
and Sullivan.
To select from the more than a score
Of songs is difficult, but, no doubt, the
one that viii live longest and be hum
med most will be "Auf wIedersehn,"
sung first by Mizzi. the flower girl. and
Rudolph in the parting scene, and again
by Mizzfs daughter twenty-four years
later. when Rudolph has returned to
The Blue Paradise Inn in the hope of
finding old scenes and old companions
unchanged. 1t Is hauntingly sweet
melody that sticks in the memory.
Here's to You, My Sparkling Wine"
has the rollicking Tilt of q college song:
Vienna, Vienna" "Old Blue Paradise"
and II am Dreaming of a Wonderful
Night all called for encores.
John z. Young, in an excellent tenor
voice, was a capital Rudolph, while
Vivienne SeEal was a most lovable MiZzi,
the flower girl. Shep Camp, Robert @.
Pitlin and Fred Harten rounded out a
good quartet Louise Kelley and Helen
Eley were perfect in. their roles.
A classic dance by Veronica Mar
quIse and Arnold Grazer was well re-

The girl was Leonie Marsh, and |
she was worth striving for. She
was not exactly the belle of Upton,
for she had no vanity, loved truth,
followed its precepts and thought
rather of being kind to those with
whom she came in contact, than in
affecting any excellence or promi-
nence she was not entitled to.
It was natural that Leonie should
attract Walter Breen and equally so
that she should recognize him as
real man, He was just starting out
in business life as a surveyor, and
had never pressed a closer friendship
with Leonie because all ideas of en-
gagement and marriage seemed very
far ahead. Walter had belonged to
the crack team at college, was an
all around athlete, and his love of
exercise and nature had induced
him to select an open-air occupation
as best suited to his preferences and
health.
