three classes of these strange beings, tncse who dwell In caves, those whose aooaes are on the mountaines, and those who have assembled in strange " constructed towns of their. own de- vising. Desert and oasis scenes, en- chanting travels with famous eadis, and sheiks and beys, with French mil ltary explorers and others, reproduce uonS of promitive life in and about the African farms, the threshing of wheat and barley. the goat herds, the camel trains, moments of peril and adventure and pleasure, his favored audience got them all, as the explorer merely touched -on the abundance of material which he has collected for the government and the scientific societies.
 A Local Touch.
 While describing the primitive mades of desert well-digging and the awful scarcity of both food and water for beasts and men, there was an amusing local touch given the talk by the sug- gestion from some one in the audience that in future explorations where oases and their springs are few, it would be well to take along a Thermos bottle" Questions were asked freely, and in this way many informing comments were made.
 Trogiodyte Women Invisible.
 The strange cave homes of the Troslodytes seemed to win the great est amount of wonder from the audi enee. MT. Johnson explained that he went abroad commissioned by the Smithsonian Institute to measure the queer dweilers in these caves, but had Tailed in one respect, inaSmuch as the women hid themselves from the eyes of prying strangers. He did manage, however, to get a few pictures of tho odd ceatures. Asked about their caves and if they had any sort of artificial fer1t 1,r T1.,.l 4T,. ing that the darkness was really grate- ful, such is the glare of the sun. As to temperature, it varies from bitter cold at night to 120 degrees in the shade.
 Many pictures of ruins of Phoenician, Roman and Byzantine cities were thrown on the screen, with such stu pendous buildings as an arena capable of seating S0,000 and within which fully 10000 more could stand. Statues, facades, columns, friezes swimming pools, cisterns a ruined Roman bridge which would hold train of cars, were among the photographs displayed of treasures unearthed in a country where most of the building blocks had to be quarried from the river bed.
 Snapshots from the Saddle.
 In contrast to these ancient sights were the smart automobiles in which some of Mir. Johnsons French friends came from the coast towns to view the ruins or to assist in the eXcava- tions. It was of interest that many of his views were taken from the saddle as he rode over the ancient Roman roads on the Arabian stallion which was a present from a noted cadi friend which handsome steed carried him nearly 1900 miles during his dis coveries. To a question regarding the lan- guage spoken by most of the Arabs he encountered, Mir Johnson replied that it was a sort of mixtures of French Arabian, after the fashion of the pigeon English of the Chinese in an American city. He had interesting tales to tell of his discomforts-some serious, some humorous-during his months of living among the strange 1 peoples to whom his travels led him.

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE.
Dorothy DonneIIy in Maria Ross


 Angel Guimera's Maria Rosa was finely presented by Fl c, Whitney be- fore a good sized audience at the Davis theatre Saturday evening, and general appreciation of the play and the players was evident from the fre- quent bursts of applause. Tragic pas- sion runs through the whole plot and success hangs on the interpretation of the two leading characters. Dorothy Donnelly played the title role in thrill ing earnest, winning naught but ap- proval for the clever manner in which She presented the most difficult pas sages- Sharing with Miss Donnelly the warmth of enthusiastic approval was Lou Tellegen as Ramon. He gave a vivid interpretation of overpowering passion for Maria Rosa equalled only by her steadfast devotion to the dead Andres. Mir.
