there is little prospect of success for the
later one, but if. on the other hand, the
bill has been satisfying the final returns

for casting ones bread upon the waters.
The Rogers Brothers, who did rather
slim business when last seen in this city,
are more than recuperating their fallen

John J. McNallys funny farce, "A Reign
of Error is being presented by the same
excellent cast originally brought here. Be-

vantage, while charming Georgia Caine
has 4 role altogether out of proportion 10

level lifts it to hers. Miss Caine is a
thorough artist and even her limited op-
portunitiss in "A Reign OF Error cannot
disguise the fact. The production viii con-

The large audience which attended the
Burton Holmes lecture week
ago Wednesday at the Columbia
Theatre proves concIusively two
things: First, that there is an i'm
mense interest in and demand for series
Of high-class illustrated talks on travel,
and second, that the name OF John L.
Stoddard is a potent wand with which TO
conjure. Although 8Ir. Holmes has been
six yeare before the public, gaining popu-
larity with each succeeding season, this
was his first appearance in Washington,
one of his predecessors strongest cities.
The fact that the Columbia was crowded
to its doors and the further knowledge
that every seat in the house was taken
within a few hours after the opening OF
the box Office a week in advance is a COM
pliment to Mr. Holmes and his managers,
and indicates that the field so thoroughly
cultivated and titled by Mr.. Stoddard dur
ing many past seasons gives promise OF IA
rich harvest for his successor. The favor
able impression made by Mr.. Holmes at
this lecture was demonstrated by the fire.
quent applause won and the more than
high praise in the columns of Washington
newspapers.
The local series announced by Mr..
Holmes to be given on Wednesday after
moons at the Columbia Theatre. in an
ticpation of which the invitation lecture
was given. will begin on January 49, and
include talks on The Hawaiian Islands,"

the Moors; "Greeian Journeys" and

al fer the first and last of these lectures
was gathered by MIR. Holmes during the
Summer months; while that for the for
eign topics is the result OF travel through
those interesting countries within the last
three years. All Will be amply illustrat-
