FROM CAPE TO CAIRO.
Fred NIbIO Delivers First of Series
Of Travel Talks.


At the Columbia Theater last niebr
before a large audience Fred Niblo once
a well-known comedian. delivered the
first of what is destined to be a series
OF travel talks.
The lecture last night was From the
Cape 10 Cairo" a journey taken bv Mr.
Niblo, his wife and son. about two wears
ago. Much Of the journey was ma5e
over the railroad route that some dav viii
run direct from Cairo TO the Cane and
part OF il, that from Monbasa on. was
over the route which Mr.. Roosevelt de-
signs 10 take on his hunting trip.
OF all the lecturers who have been
heard in Washington recently Mr.. NibIo
has by far the most pleasant delivery.
His pictures. toe, are the equal of anv
that have been seen. They deal with IN
usual subjects. are striking in their
realism. and his moving pictures Of vari
Gus native towns. together with his views
OF Zanzibar, Natal Durham. scenes on
Lake Nyanza, and other out OF the way
places constitute in themselves a liberal
education.
Mr. Niblo delivers no didactic. dry-as-
dust dissertation OF the things he has
seen, but talks colloquialIy and with ease
spicing his narrative Of facts with mar
humor that Won him reputation as a CO.
median- The result is an evenings en-
teriainment that appeals 10 the intellect
and is at the same time highly amusing
The lecture was most enthusiastically re-
ceived, and there is small doubt but that
Mr. Niblo viii make huge success Of
the rest OF his lectures. which are TO be
