MR. BURTON HOLMES LECTURES
Mr.. Burton Holmes, whose Chicago season
opened so brilliantly on october 21 with
his lecture on the Hawaiian Islands at
Central Music Hall, is Chicagoan by
birth and early education. His grand
father, Mr.. Stiles Burton, was one of the
old settlers here, and it was from him, he
being a great traveller that Mr.. Holmes
inherited his "globe-trotting' predictions.
This is the sixth season of Mr.. Holmes ca
reer as a professional lecturer, although
his travels extend back far into his teens.
He is now only twenty-eight years OF
age, and has career before him of which
not only his immediate relatives and ms
friends should be proud, but also the city
which gave him birth, for he has not only
won distinction as a lecturer mere IN the
west, but has achieved the greatest possi-
BILE success in New York Boston and other
eastern cities, stepping into tho shoes or
Mr.. John L. Stoddard. whose reputation
a lecturer on travel was Worldwide,
and deservedly so, for 1t is due to him that
the lecture platform has come to be ac-
knowiedged as popular form of enter
tanment and education Since the retire.
ment of Mr. Stoddard many material i'm
provements have been made in photogra-
ply and the colorng of lantern slides. All
of these advantages have been seized by
Mr.. Holmes, and not only are his still
pictures marvelously beautiful in photo
graphic detail, but they are also eXqui-
sitely coored, In every way true to nature
In addition to these still pictures Mr.
Holmes has also taken up the latest and
most improved methods of portraying act
40 life bv the of motion
picture machine, called the chronomato-
graph, the latest and best of all the mo-
ton picture machines. With these two
great aids 1t is no wonder that Mr.. Holmes.
who Is close observer, a scholarly writer
and a fluent and witty speaker. has
achieved the marked success which has
crowned his efforts. So great was his sue
cess with his opening lecture on the Ha.
waiian Islands, which occasion several
hundred people were turned away, unable
to obtain seats, that it had to be repeated,
the house again being filled to its utmost
capacity. The first of the series of after
noon lectures will be given here Wednes-
day afternoon, January 1S at the Columbia.
COOPERS TRILBY.-Cooper's admired
picture "Trilby," is still a great attraction
at the exhibition parlor, 1903 pennsylvania
avenue. The painting has been viewed by
many hundreds since 1t was hung in this
city, and has been commended by many
students of that particular school of art.
The exhibition parlors are open during the
udy anu evening"
THE MUTOsCOPE.-The Mutoscope par
Ior, at 1211 Pennsylvania avenue, has be-
come one of the popular amusement insti-
tutions of Washington, and is daily visited
by throngs who laugh over and enjoy the
many comical and pretty scenes S..oWn on
the different instruments. The reproduc-
tion of life-movements in pictures is almost
perfect in the mutoscope machine, and
there is an absence of the jump and flicker
usual in scopes Of kindred kind, making
It'll tln iot.1 Il
enjoyable.
ALBAUGH'S STOCK COMPANY.-A most
interesting dramatic event is the forthcom-
ing engagement at the Grand Opera House
of John w. Albaugh Jr.'s Stock Company,
from the Lyceum Theater, Baltimore. This
is scheduled for five nights and two mat
inees, commencing Tuesday, January 10.
The fact that the name of Albaugh is at
the head of it is sufficient guarantee that
the organization Is of high standard, but
the fact that for 400 nights the company
has drawn crowded houses to a theater
noted for the culture of its clientele, is
proof positive of its genuine merit To the
company in general, but to Mr.. Albaugh in
particular, Washingtonians are eager to
extend a cordial welcome and an euthusi-
astic greeting will undoubtedly be accorded
him and the members of his COMPANY

lected particularly to give the company q
chance to display its versatility will be
