Burton Holmes delved yesterday in his third
lecture of the season, Round About Paris

completely filling the Columbia Theater. and
seemingly thoroughly appreciated all that
was said. The subject was most timely on
account Of the forthcoming exposition, and
very properly Mr.. Holmes began his jour
ney through Paris at the fast rising city
within the exposition Enclosure. Mr. Holmes
did not dwell upon the general aspect of
Paris or its celebrated sights, which all
travellers have seen or Of which most per-
SONS have read With a thorough knowl-
edge of the city he talked of the scenes
but none the less interesting portions of
the great city. The lecture was novel and
exceptionally entertaining A number of
beautifully colored stercopticon views were
thrown upon the screen. Upon the conclu-
sion of the lecture q series of moving pic
lures taken in Japan and the klondike re-
gion were shown. All evoked enthusiastic
applause. The fourth lecture of the series
of five by Mr.. Holmes will be given next
Tuesday afternoon at the Columbia Thea
ter at 4:15 o'clock, the subject being The
Grand Canyon of the Colorado"
