still unmapped. During this expedition
Mr.. Barnes encountered a series OF
thrilling adventures with both beasts of

ments unknown to white men which
have faithfully been recorded in moving
pictures which will be shown for the
first time in Philadelphia at the Garrick
Theatre this week Twice daily, once
in the afternoon and once at night, Mr..
Barnes will personally lecture on the
expedition,

Like many artists, Charles Chaplin con-
