Nox McCain's lecture at the Column
bia Theater tonight at Sis and -tomor-
row afternoon at S:45-.'Turkey, Yester-
day and Today''-is just as timely as his
preceding talk on The Balkan
States" The Near East has been abb
sorbing a goodly part of attention of
late; so, after dealing with the princi-
pals o fthis Balkan melodrama right in
the glare of the footlights it was only
natural for Mr.. Mccain to choose to
fake HIS audience up stage" into the
shadow of bigotry and superstition and
show the swarthy fanatics. who by
their expressions have rung down the
curtain.

yinia-nominal Turkish territory, blood
lessly wrested from its holders by Aus
tria a few years back. This is a part
of the Turkey of yesterday that the
lecturer pictures and describes. FROM
BosnaBrod he leads down past beau
tiful mountain scenery over one of the
best kept railroad rights of way in
Europe to Sarajevo.
Sarajevo is the spired city of the Near
East, for the pencil-like pinnacles OF

own. Following the valley of the Ma
renta Mr.. Mccain journeys on to Mos
tar. the capital of the Herzegovina, and
shows its Interesting baZaars and lets
his hearers rub elbows with Its curious

BY means of an unusual collection of
beautiful colored still views and excep-
tional motion pictures Mr. Mccain will
show the Turkey of today and her peo-
pie. He skirts the shores of the Bcs-
phorus and observes the Turk from dis
ferent angles. Crossing the Golden
Horn he personally conducts the audi
ence through the crooked streets of
Stamboul, giving glimpses in full color
of its mosques and white palaces. He
shows the Mohammedan making ready
for war, pictures Turkish troops in re-
view and describes the stirring scenes
recently enacted in the capital.

Of the Poll Players this week with A.
II. Van Buren in the role Of Laceby, the
miner, part created by Guy Bates
Post.
The story OF THE Heir to the Hoorah''
is direct and entertaining. A young
Western miner has met and married an
Eastern society girl, who is good at
heart, but who is completely under tho
domination of her mother. This mother
looks upon her son-in-law as a reflection
on their family honor although she fails

concerning the son-in-law's large in
come.
Finally the young husband is driven
from home by constant nagging. He
returns when he learns that son and
heir is born to him, heir to the famous
mine, .The .Hoorah." hence the play s
name. The mine associates of the herd
bring a wonderful array Of gifts to the
infant. and their arrival tt the home
constitutes one of the most apusing
episodes In the whole play. 1t can only
be compared with the famous swapping
Of children in the first act of THE
Virginian."
The love and royalty of these rough
miners to her husband causes the wife
finally to realize the true nobility of
Laceby's nature. and eventually the
young miner asserts his authority and
the mother-in-law Is quelled. bringing
about rational and happy ending to
a breezy comedy with wealth of
bright lines and clever characteristic
studies. Ize.ta Jewel plays the young
wife and Helen Tracey plays the
mother-in-law.
