NIBLO TRAVEL TALKS
CLOSE WITH AFRICA
HumoriSt Lecturer Pleases
Audience in Last of His
Series.

In giving his last OF a series Of inteS-
esting travel talks through foreign
chimes, Fred NibIo, the humorist-lec-
tUrer, at the request of many Washing
ton residents. repeated the journey
through Africa, from the Cape to Cairo,
last evening. The Columbia Theater
was we'll filled with an audience that
enjoyed every minute of the time, Mr..
Niblo appearing at his best and inter
tecting many humorous sidelights into
his talk Of the journey. He opened by
saying the Journey would be made
through a country where Christmas
comes in the summer time, and August
Is midwinter Mr.. Niblo also informed
his auditors that It was fortunate he
made the trip into the heart of the
Uganda and around the Victoria Nyanza
a year before former President Roose-
Welt. or there would perhaps have been
none OF the specimens of large game
TO present to them in photographs.
Among the many interesting points
visited by the sightseers was Kimberley
and its great diamond fields. with Kaffir
miners at work and play. Mr.. Niblo
displayed upon the screen a photograph
Of six thousand Chinese coolies, posed
especially for him. In the zig-zag
journey the wonderful Victoria Falls
were shown in moving and stereopticJn
views, taken from twenty-one different
points Of vantage.
Another striking picture was a cara
van Of three thousand slave women on
their way to market. A visit to the
lands of the Nasal, Sherati, Kavirondo,
Wakikuyu, Uganda. and Usukama
people gave the audience an idea OF
real conditions as they exist among
these barbaTians. The canntbals OF the
Sese Islands were shown. and a stop
with the black boy King Of Uganda
gave Mr.. NiblO an opportunity TO dis
play the only moving picture ever taken
OF Dandi Chua. and his court followers.
In describing the points visited and
telling Of the peculiarities OF the people
Mr. Niblo was at his best. and the en-
tertainment was by far the best OF the
series. The trip through Africa will be
repeated at the Columbia Theater Fri
day afternoon.
