Travel Pictures
at the Garrick

First off, the discerning critic-amateur
or professional-who enjoys himself at
Lyman Howe Travel Festival Is liable to
lay 1t to the fact that the still more dis
cerning Mr.. Howe has laid out the lee
turer. There is no unctuous gentleman
at the Garrick bestrewing pictures that
almost speak with talk that is pseudo
learned. pseudo-funny and thoroughly
boring.
But the real reason why Mr. Howe's
pictures are always the most genuinely
entertaining of any in their class is the
amount Of ingenuity put into their pre-
sentation. They may or may not be bet
ter as pictures; but they are "dolled up"
with most interesting and amusing trim
innings.
I In the first place, there is the sound
man" Originally he is as bad a mistake
as the lecturer. He makes bells ring
while human mouths only mouth He
calls out the resonances of the knocking
knuckles while footballs are silent as the
tomb. Mr.. Howe's sound-man is Of an
other sort He jabbers for the Filipinos, [,
he SCOTS for the grimy sailors shoveling
coal. He has an ingenious battery of
noises for the machinery in the indus
trial hlm. His orchestra" is unlimited,
and-which is tho really important thing
-he directs 1t with humor and ingenuity;
he makes 1t something besides mere rep
resentation.
This care and intelligence goes a good
ways farther II not only expends itself
on the taking OF the films and their repro
duction, introducing. for instance. that
most laughable OF movies. a diving scene
run backward, but II gives the program a
sort Of artistic and humorous unity by
means OF the best cartoon comedies that
the films have thus far shown. To the
manifest amusement OF such Jerky and
miraculous comics" II adds burlesque OF
the scenes shown In the Howe festival
The business Is really ingenious; and
the artist has seen the wisdom. which
escapes too many movie cartoonists, OF
not cluttering up his canvas with back
grounds.
All OF which. explains the superiority OF
Mr.. HOwes pictures without at all indi'
eating what the visitor at the Carricl
may see. Yesterday afternoon he took 1

De necessary TO look for an outlet In

markets will, no doubt, be more pressing

VITAL FACTORS SUMMARIZED.
The essential factors appertaining TO
the development of our commerce with
Latin America and the necessary steps
to be taken by American business men
to establish permanent business rela-
tions with those countries may be
summed up as follows;
ITO take the necessary steps which will

ITO send out experienced commercial
travellers who have a good knowledge OF

ITO advertise properly and to CORE

countries and, by all means, to eliminate

country does not always apply to another
and what may be true of the conditions
| In Argentine may not be true of thos'
| In Chill, or that what may be true of on'
| State In the country may not be true o
the others, or what may affect one brancl
of trade does not necessarily reflect OF
another.
ITO remember that the systems of doirl
| business with South American countries
are not much different than those Of th'
| United States, but that the application

ing them out are different from those a

cient methods for Foreign trade.

Police Court Chronicles

Some one told Hugo Mulcrane that he
could catch lots of chickens If he
sprinkled corn on the sidewalk near East
Girard and Susquehanna avenues. Hugo
likes chicken better than beef or pork. so
he found some corn at feed store, and
going TO the neighborhood mentioned,
tried the experiment Numerous dogs and
cats cantered along. but there didn't seem
10 be any chickens around. He told a
couple of youths OF his intentions. and
they told him confidentially to 'stick
Ground" for an hour or so and his vigi-
lance would be rewarded.
Hugo finally grew desperate. He scat

chickr' as loudly as possible. He didn't

passing while he was scattering the corn.

A Young man in a neat brown suit

Charles Olcott, "a comic opera in 10

audience wore a-resigned expression, evil

But all present were pleasantly de-

whom we have known were brought out
in graphic lyrics to music which was as
good as we often hear in the regular
shows. Then, by way of good measure,

incidentally, the Phillies and the
"Cubs" occupied boxes, which helped
greatly in the way of atmosphere. The
plot deals with the troubles of three
Americans. who find themselves in Lon
don on the day that the Giants and
White SoX played before the King. Mr..
Lewis, as John Aloysius McVey made a
typical fan and supplied moving-picture
views of a game, which was accom-
panied by Photographic shouts and the
bawling out of the umpire to awaken the
memories of his guests. There Is a
dramatic touch, too, which serves to
bring out the idea with much emphasis.
Good support was given by Wilmer

The act was greatly enjoyed.

the season was offered by Swan and

PROPERTY INCREASE $25, 900, 900
Advance in Assessments Said to Be
Far Below Last Years, and
Councilmen Worry

Intimations that the Board of Revision
of Taxes is preparing to allow only
SIS. .OOO 900 increase in property valuations
for the coming year is causing some ap-
prehension omong the councilmanic
leaders.
The municipal financiers of the Organ
ization, committed to a 81 tax rate, will
have troublesome problems to solve dur
ing the ensuing year, making the cur
rent revenues keep pace with expendi-
lures.
It is pointed out that, If the Board OF
Revision of Taxes allows only S25,0OO.0O0
increase in assessments, the amount will
be less than half the increase allowed
last year and far below the increase al
lowed during preceding years. The ad-
ditional revenue afforded by the compar-
atively slight increase will not come near
to meeting the additional municipal ex-
penditures necessary.
