\ The Telegraph in bringing Mr..
Robertson to Harrisburg had no mo-
tive in view but to provide a clean,
wholesome and cheap amusement for
its readers. Mr.. Robertson is recog-
nized as in the first ranks of his pro-
fession as traveloguer, and his many
trips through foreign lands give him
standing that otherwise could not
be obtained. IT was good will
proposition entirely, and the Tele-
graph had no share in the receipts. II
realized the value of the travelogues
TO the community and gave its pub
licity absolutely gratis that its readers
might have the benefit of the reduced
prices thus made possible.
The engagement has been satisfac-
tory from all points of view. The
people who saw the travelogues were
impressed with the realism which
surrounded the picture-tours colored
pictures and motion pictures were
used in giving realistic idea OF the
peoples of the various lands of the
earth, their countries and work
These accompanied by a clear force
full talk by Mr.. Robertson explaining
the many things of interest and Civ
ing incidents of his own travels
abroad heightened the interest which
surrounded the pictures. The result
is that Harrisburg people have been
left with a wider knowledge of things
generally.
The admission prices which have
prevailed during the engagement will
continue to the end; 10 cents with the
coupon on the first page of The Tele-
graph, or % cents for a seat in the
reserved section, admission included.
An added attraction at this evenings s
travelogue as at all others will be the

Mackey on the violin and piano. Their
program tonight will include French
and British airs.
