ABOUT $50 YEARS AGO, the
Smosarska name was famous in
Europe. One Of the learned pro-
'fessors Of Padua was an ancestor.
When war came. the family was
one Of the landed ones of Poland,
and Miss Smosarska, besides hav-
ing been in Is or more motion
pictures, was an actress in the
National Theater of Warsaw.
Miss SfnoSafska's house was not
hit. but when the house across
the street was bombed TO nothing
she and her husband--a civil en-
gineer-ned 10 the home of rela-
lives near the Russian border.

"that the Bolsheviks had crossed
the border. Warsaw was (she
waved her hand In q circle) you

20 the Lithuanian border. We
had no visas. We slept In our

Sweden. Now we are here"
Miss SmoSarska wears tan

She took only two dresses with

lucky. Polish money lost It's value
overnight, SO the silver. car. a
camera and brooch were sold 10
buy tickets 10 America.
Miss Smosdrska still carries
