Howe's Sound Pictures.

With program of widely diversified
motion pictures, accompanied by appro-
pirate sounds and noises that made then,
quite realistic, the Lyman H. Howe Hin
podrOme Company opened the first of its
six Sunday night diversions at the CO.
lumbia Theater last evening. AS last
year the serious subjects We're alternated
with comical trick pictures that were
not only unique but at times wonderful
but the entire program was new and
embraced subjects not heretofore treated
A local interest was given the enter
tainment by series of films that illus
trated the effect of music on the wild
animals at the Washington Zoo and the
evolutions Of the daring cavalrymen al
Fort Myer There were also pictures
showing the various drills and maneu-
vers of the cadets at West Point and
Annapolis as we'll as film showing the
impact of great projectile fired in test
ing armor plate.
A dangerous and exciting experience of
lumbermen with a logging raft on a
swiftly running river in the Alps was
shown as we'll as an interesting group of
pictures of wild birds feeding their young.
An impressive film reproduced a religious
ceremony in one of the great temples of
India and another a street procession,
while still another portrayed the Incl
dents OF an exciting fishing trip with the
return of the small vessel in turbulent
and stormy sea, perhaps one of the best
pictures of it's kind yet seen in this city.
The accompanying sounds. such the
roar and swish of the waters. the clank-
ing of the soldiers accouterments. con-
yerSationS between persons seen in the
pictures and the like made the entrtain-
ment throughout specially interesting and
realistic to a very large audience that
was generous both with Its applause and
its laughter.
