AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Lyman H. Howe's Pictures Next We'd
nesday Evening.

Two notable features of Lyman H.
Howe's new program at the opera house
on Wednesday, February 10 show the
newest-Russit. The pictures illustrate
the achievements of a mighty past in
ancient Egypt and those of the present
in modern Russia. Both are weirdly
beautiful-but with a beauty as diff
ferent as black is from white. Every
opportunity was seized by Mr. Howes
photographer to transfer the real Egypt
and the real Russia TO American au-
dienees. The Egypt series possesses a
peculiar fascination because the land
is unsurpassed, historically and in pic
torial possibilities. The pictures of
Egypt inspire the imagination, not only
because of their strange beauty. but be-
cause the country is so rich in history
and yet shrouded in mystery. Those
marvels Of the world-the Pyramids
and Sphinx--by their very immensity
speak eloquently of civilization com
pared with which Russia is but a thing
of yesterday. The pictures of Russia
are no less interesting--bu in an en-
tircly different way. 1t is the differ
ence between the mute, maiectic Sphinx
and the imposing Kremlin. The differ
ence between the amazing temple ruins
Of Thebes Of by-gone ages and the Mos
COW OF today, which, with its fairyland
Of cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, seems
almost supernatural. The program
comprises many other subjects of equal
interest
