Elmendorf Conducts
"Tour" of South Europe

Some of the grandest achievements
of art and nature--not to mention the
unusual manner in which both were
shown-were tho distinctive features OF
the fourth of the Dwight Elmendorf
circular easy-chair tours by means or
which a thousand or more Washington
ians were conducted about southern El-
rope at the National Theater yesterday
afternoon.
While the pictures Elmendorf makes
himself have given great vogue 70 ms
lectures. those of the masters of the
art world to be found In Italy. spain,
and France were also shown during the
course OF yesterdays excursion. Prob
ably the most remarkable OF all these
was q film showing n spanish dance
which Mr.. Elmendorf declares is the
first and only motion picture he will
every attempt to color. Ordinary color
ed motion pictures. whether the result
is. attained through special lenses and
processes or the work of an artist,
have either a dazzling splash of light
or an application of color that smacks
too strongly OF analine dyes.
The Elmendorf effort Is in the same
class with the beautiful colored photo
graphs that have so long individuaiized
this lecturers work. When 1t Is con-
sidered that the film shown was 400
feet long. and that each foot of II con-
tanned sixteen photographs the size OF
a 2-cent postage stamp. and further,
that each of these photographs was col
ored exactly as in the original scene
with sufficient graduation Of motion to
give them action. some idea of Mr.
Elmendorrs painstaking work is OBJ
tanned. Therefore. each tiny picture
was a seperate gem of color photog
! raphy totally aside from its motion
| picture value.
The tour led the tourists around Paris
| through Switzerland. the Italian lakes
Milan. Venice. Florence. Rome, Pisa
Granada. Madrid. Burgos. and back
| to Paris. Next Thursday afternoon the
tourists will visit the United States
! starting from this city.
