Mr.. Roberscn's travelogues are the
next thing. to travelling in person. He
almost literally takes his audience with
him, carrying them from place to place
enliyening the screen journey with
happy little incidents or experiences OF
his own while travelling through the
country visited in pictures.
The traveloguer has attained -popu-

his travel talks. Great crowds in all
parts of the country have gone with
him to the wonder places Of the world
Mr.. Robertson appears in the large halls
only, because they usually are the only
places which can accommodate the
crowds. Hence Convention Hall in this
city was chosen.

himself with his dissolving views alone.

artists palette, from the vivid. most
burning tones to the mellowest and
most delicate of tints are reproduced
accurately on his screen. HIS EFFORT is
always to present views just as he has
seen them and the popularity which
has followed him everywhere is proof
that he has succeeded admirably.

within the past four weeks, will show
glimpses of actual fighting in the
