HOLMES HERE TOMORROW
All to BE Illustrated, as Usual, in
Color supplemented With
Motion Pictures.

Probably no other lecturer on travel
ever went so carefully, conscientiously
and thoroughly about his work of prepar-
alton for telling the public what he has
seen as does Burton Holmes, who is to be
here tomorrow and Saturday with three
new lectures. Mr.. Holmes always starts on
one Of his lecture making Journeys with
every arrangement that the foresight Of
an experienced traveller can suggest, to
make his trip profitable. Since the in
PRODUCTION of motion pictures, Mr.. Holmes
has carefully followed their development,
and now he is able to offer them as an i'm
portant supplementary feature in connec-
tion with the colored lantern slides which
furnish illustrations of the texts of the
lectures.
In the Friday night lecture on "Along
the Trans Siberian Railway Mr..
Holmes starts at the Moscow terminal
Of the great road, and pushes on to the
east so far as the great railway is built,
then travels by steamer to the terminus
of the eastern part of the line, and finally
arrives at Valdivostok. The moving pic
lures in this country, so new to Ameri-
cans, will show Russian courier train, q
panoramic view of the Chelia binks rail-
way platform the departure from 1rkutsk,
Moujiks eastward bound, roadside lunch
market, 1.-THE Ferry From Manchuria,"
a number Of others.
In the lecture on st. Petersburg, to be
given Saturday afternoon, Mr.. Holmes de-
scribes the entry into Russia, the Polish
frontier, Warsaw, and all the wonders of
the city of Peter the Great. In this lee
ture the motion pictures will show gath
ering in the Warsaw ghetto, pretty Polish
children, an exhibition fire drill, the ami
mated Nevski, the car, cZarina and en-
press dowager passing in review, the en-
presses and escort the Preobrajenski and
Paxoloski regiments, thrilling charge by
Russian cavalry, a motion portrait of the
car, bnd a number Of others of equal
interest.
After his trip across Siberia Mr..
Holmes dipped into China, and saw Pc
king as it was during the international oc-
| cupation. This lecture on Picking, to be
given Saturday night, Is prefaced by some
little account of the trip from NagaSki to
Taku, a glimpse of Chee-Foo, the Taku
forts, the Pei-Ho river and Tientsin.
Some interesting side-lights are thrown
on the defense of the legations during tho
Boxer uprising, and a vivid picture is
drawn of the city during its occupation by
| the international forces. The moving
| pictures, with this lecture, include pam
| orma OF Taku, the arrival of train from
Picking, the tide Of Tientsin traffic, jaunt-
ing in jinrikshas, arrival by rail at the
Temple of Heaven, CD a stream of Pc
| kingese traffic, dash by the British royal
artillery, charge by Bengal Lancers, a
| fantastic funeral.
! The information that Mr.. Holmes gives
so pleasantly, about the great expanse of
| the world between st. Petersburg and Pc
king, in these three lectures, can, from
what has been said, be readily believed to
be invaluable.
Seats for these lectures may be obtained
| at the metropolitan music store. They
will be given in the auditorium of Ply
! mouth Church
