Biography. The masterful progress
of this science is perhaps the great
est educator to which the twentieth
century has given birth. Who of
our fathers of revolutionary times
could have prophesied that in this
age one could sit in our own thea
tres and see reproduced from life
great events and festivals of the
Antipodes in all the exactness of
their presentation? Think, for in
stance, of beholding the toiling En-
glish army plodding up the Thi-
betan mountains to the scared, mys-

tivities, which hold the mind and
eye enrapt with the wonder of bar
barrie customs and splendors. Yet
marvellous as these may seem, even
still more wonderful productions
have been secured, entailing enor-
nous expense, time and energy, but
with full assurance that the public,
hungering for good wholesome
amusement and guided by their
keen sense of appreciation, will
merit and repay the great effort ex-
erted in securing them. Countless
varieties of these features will be
presented during the exhibition of
