How can 1 be beautiful? That is the question every woman asks her self. The answer is health, radiant, glowing health. Bright eyes, clear complexion, rosy cheeks, animation, make for beauty every time.

GUY BATES POST " WITH honest pride 1 announce the return of Mr. Guy Bates Post to the speaking stage. More than a quarter century ago Mr. Post rapped at the door of Op portunity” in that great maelstrom metropolis New York. The answer to his knock was gruelling days and sleepless nights. Every heart-felt wail echoed and re echoed m his brain until the wail turned to 1 will. Today the “then youngster ’ bears, carries, controls more honors, more weight, more followers than any other man in his prfession. All America honors his achievements. He has the distinction of having entertained more men and women within a given period than any other person, in his lire, who ever lived. In every city in which he has appeared he has established new records from point of financial receipts. From “National Border to Border,” on every side, lie has been acclaimed “ THE LEADER. The consensus of many of America’s foremost critics: —“His intensity disturbs and arrests. As the greatness of his genius governs the trend of thought, arousing the genius that is—to a greater or lesser degree the thing that governs, controls, dwarfs or magnifies the actions — attitude —good or bad qualities—that makes or mars humanism. By his genius compelling his auditors to feel they are parcel and part of the play—causing their pulses to throb with his, their hearts yearn, glow, ache, and are glad with the beats of his heart, until actor and audience become welded as one —fused in the finesse of a single thought.” THE PLAY —“The Climax” by Edw. J. Locke, a play filled with suspense that comes spontaneously from that soul, secreted in every normal person’s breast of thinking age —interspersed with natural effervescing comedy that bubbles into chuckles and bursts into roars, causing tears to recede into the ducts from whence they spring, at the critical moment when more sorrow would be anguish, more selfishness produce pain. A play serious enough to make you think, funny enough to make every one laugh, clean enough to please the clergy, good enough to live. His appearance in Albany at the Auditorium, Matinee at 3 p. m. and night at 8:20, Saturday, March Ist, just two performances, will be the dramatic event of the decade. MELVILLE B. RAYMOND, Director of Tour. In every city where Mr. Post has appeared capacity audiences have prevailed, and Albany will not be an ex ception. Immediate reservations by mail are earnestly re quested. ’> Prices range from SI.OO to $3.00 for night perform ance and $ 1.00 to $2.50 at Matinee. All prices plus 10 per cent war tax. A. C.
