ROBERTSON
COMING,
BACK
Robertson is coming back,

Robertson is coming back
That brief announcement in Sa,ur-
day evenings Record set the whole
town talking about his interesting
visit here last year.
You will hear it at every turn, in
the barber shops, at the churches, on
the streets and in the most exlusive
cjrcles-that Robertson gave the most
entertaining series of entertainments
ever heard or seen in Canon Cit-.
He gives a week of pleasure and
instruction. The idle wanderer on
pleasure bent will sit by the side OF
the most serious old college profess
sor and both will enjoy the evenings
entertainment equally.
Last year when Mr. Robertson came
to Canon City he was little known
here. He had fair sized audiences
but II took a week for our people
to realize the fact that one of the
most travelled and most cultured
lecturers of the world today, was
here.
On his last Sunday night here he
gave The Holy City at the NJ =
church to an audience OF over thii-
teen hundred. Every available seat
and all the standing room was pack
ed and many then began to apprsci-
ate what they had missed in not at
tending all the Travelogues.
This year Mr.. Robertson brings an
entirely new series OF Travelogues.
Since he was here he has spent
season IN Europe, and he brings back
with him the best series OF Travel
ogues ever presented to an Amert-
can audience.
He will be at the NJ. e church be-
ginning on nexs Monday night and
closing on Friday night. There win
be three matinees. Tuesday, wednes-
day and Friday.
His series this year will be:
Nights
Monday-The Passion Play
Tuesday-Inside Paris.
Observation-Disclosures Bavaria.
Thursday-Outside Paris.
Frfday-The Tyrolean Alps.
Afternoons
Tuesday-Japan.
Wednesday-Norway
Frfday-Out Doors in the Holy LAT.
The Passion Play is a master piece.
Mr.. Robertson was at Ober-Ammergaa
las. summer. He spent a week there
with HIS camera preparing a Travel
ogue that will be appreciated by
some even more than the real play.
which held an audience for eig.
hours This Travelogue alone is
worth the price OF the whole course.
Mr.. Robertson gives a lecture that
is equal to Stoddard's. and he Illus
trates II with stationary and motion
pictures that makes one feel almost
as IL they had been face to face with
the scenes he has described

AMATEURS FAIL
TO BLOW OPEN SAFE
At WILLIAMSBURG

Florence, Feb. Am attempt was
made some time during Thursday

that the force OF the explosion sprung

could not be opened. nothing of value
was taken. The attempted robbery
was discovered this morning about
daylight when Manager Horn open
ed the store to accommodate a ,us-

Three holes were bored in the top
of the safe, into which was inser- 4
