Howe's Travel Festival


If you miss seeing the California ex-
positions either by making the trans
continental journey, or the splendid
equivalent Of viewing them via Lyman
H. Howe's Travel Festival at the
Grand Wednesday, matinee and night,
you will miss what is indeed the OPP
portunity of lifetime. To travel to
these expositions while remaining at
home may seem contradictory. Yet
that is exactly the privilege that local
amusement patrons may enjoy via Ly-
man H. Howe's Travel Festival.
Recognizing that comparatively
small percentage of the nations citi-
zens could find the opportunity to
make the long journey to the Pacific
coast expositions, Mr.. Howe is bring
ing them here 50 that everyone will
have the pleasure Of viewing them at
infinitesimal expense, and in the per-
feet ease of comfortable theatre
chair without the exhaustion and
fatigue brought on by tramping all
day and day after day. Visions Of
new and supreme beauty and wonder
ment are unfolded by Mr.. Howe's
films that are beyond the dreams of
the most vivid imagination For these
expositions are truly on a scale OF
magnffcence befitting the tremendous
achievement they celebTate.-Adyer-
