At the Belasco Theater tonight. Col

lecture entitled ''Lassoing Wild animals

In the wIlds OF the Great West many
years ago, and as game warden of the
Yellowstone Park he showed unusual
nerve in his handling OF the wild ami
mails IN ahe park. He used his lasso to
catch them for punishment
He then decided to go to Africa and
see what he could do with a lasso. coolly
planning to rope lions. rhinos, giraffes, &C.
With a good motion picture camera and
operator, as well as two expert American
cowboys and horses, Jones set out for
Nairobi. Africa The roping Of Africa's
widest animals by him and his party is
perhaps one OF the most daring events
In the history OF sport. How this was
done Is clearly shown by the motion
pictures which were taken at close range,
and the pictures are said to be remark
ably clear. Col. Jones is an excellent
story teller, and one watches with breath
less interest tho pictures as they grow
more real under his Characteristic descrip-
