lures Corporation my wonderful library of motion pictures-not merely those that l have already taken at enormous expense, of time travel, and money, but those l take today, tomorrow, or next summer or next winter.
 Since the policy of the Paramount Pictures Corporation is to present bet ter pictures to better people at prices they can afford to pay, and since Para mount Pictures mean the best, no matter by whom they are produced, 1 feel stimulated to increase my effort in my new association" &
 Practically eight months of every year, Mir. Holmes dcvotes to the search for something new, picturesque, beautiful wonderful, or awe-inspiring:,
 He IS going to continue these travels and continue to give his personal at tention to these Travelogues, but all of the photographic fruits of his journey ings, all of the motion pictures taken |hy him, will be- put at the disposal of tie Paramount Pictures Corporation, and through its efficient and far-reach- ing method, every city, town, village and hamlet of the United States of America, Will DeneIlt DV tncfn. \ ' MT. Holmes, William W. Hodkinson, its President, and the officers of the Paramount Company have had this plan in mind for some time, and have worked it out carefully, as, every other plan of the big corporation is put to the test be- fore adoption. .s
 There is no deartln of subjects now ready for release; there will be no de- lays, no uncertainties, no lack ill quan- tity nor loss. in quality. ;.
 Mir. Holmes at the. present time has enough material to give to motion pie ture fans, through Paramount, new subject every week for over year. He will personally attend to- the makeup of the Easy Chair Journeys" and will personally write the descriptive titles con- taining much information of interest and humor.
 The Paramount-Burton Holmes Travel Pictures will take Paramount au- diences to all the interesting places in North America, from Alaska to Florida, and from Niagara to the Yosemite, as we'll as to Japan, China, Java (the Phil ippines, Ceylon, India, Korea, Russia, Germany, Norway Sweden, Ireland Scotland, England, and SO son to other interesting parts of the world.s
 Burton Holmes has had a long and in- teresting career.
 The appearance on the screen of all pictures taken by him, will reach huge number of people who are unable to see him personally on his tours. and have only heard of him. His alliance with Paramount is ero;t,ent1v fittino heca,,se of his reputation enjoyed both by him and the big Company, as respectively the foremost man of a great profession and the most important factor in the third largest industry.

 Tt is difficult for one, who for nearly twenty years has been travelling as a deputy sightseer' for so many audi throughout all these long. busy, interest ing years, he has had the best of the bargain. But l am encouraged to be- licve that the return 1 bring is fair and just exchange for the wander privilege that enjoy, and to believe as we'll, that not little of the pleasure that find in travel, is shared by those for whom and by whose favor l travel and there by possess the world ask nothing better than to be permitted to continue the work, which, begun as labor of love, has now become both a vocation and avocation."
 Burton Holmes has always been a pioneer along the lines of artistic prog Tess; love, of travel has always Leen. and still is, the motive of hiss Tery Sx-, < 'istc,lce.a He comes iby: the%s Nandsr- lust, naturally, as. his ancestors for .gen- crations have been great travellers. Y
 He was the first lecturer to introduce an entire program !sof scoloradss views, and was the first to realize motion pic lures in the illustration of travel lec- lures. Beside this, he was the first of his profession to realize the advantages to be derived by making his own mo- ton pictures.
 To this end, he and his colleague and assistant Oscar Bennett Depue, bought motion picture cameras and learned the art of motion picture photography, in order that Mir. Holmes might bring his audiences genuine and original pictures ill scenes where action was the keynote of interest, such as native dances. the falling of waterfalls, spouting of gey- scrs. street scenes, parades and pageants. religious ceremonials, feats of aviation, national sports, etc.
 The present is the twenty-third sea- son of his career. For twenty three years Mir. Depue has been associated with him as lantern operator and camera expert, and he will still continue in these same various capacities ill the wider field of furnishing films for the Para mount Corporation.
 The third member of the trio is Louis Francis Brown, whose seventeen years of association with the Travclognes- the word coined by him-has been that of Business Manager.
 | Burton Holmes and his two associates probably hold the Long Distance Rec ord" for travel of many business organ- ization, for their aggregate mileage is considerably more than two and half million miles. Nevertheless during their years of association, they have never !met with serious accident by land or sea, and out of more than thirty-fivc hundred engagemnts booked by MT.

ANKLET BOUQUET NOW
FASHION HAS TAKEN ANOTHER
 FORWARD STEP. a.l .sa.
Daring Leaders of Modes Are Wear
 ina Flowers Just Above the Shoe Tops, Instead of at Waist, as Formerly.

The Parisian creators of fashion have issued the royal edict that to be the vogue, skirts this season must be short The shorter the more vogue to them. No doubt the fashion men, tors had in mind that the spaces in- teryening between the skirt bottoms and the shoe tops would be utilized by some creative genius in the intro duction of the latest fad. <
 Of course there was the anklet watch and the anklet huff to fall back on, but such tame things as these could very easily be improved on by some. one with imagination.
 Naturally one must have dainty ankle. Yes, indeed, a very dainty ankle. to attract the proper amount of eyes. But then, again. like every thing else. there are likes and dis likes, and the piano-bottomed ankle is just as apt to attract attention as is the ono built on the lines of Venus.
 Dorothy Newell, possessing as charming figure as one would desire, bethought herself of daring inno- vation. Having the daring of her con- victions, she went about executing them. If, Miss Newell figured, it be the proper thing to wear corsage at the waist, why not use a bouquet to adorn the ankle? Having started the vogue, it caught like house of finder when the torch is applied to it. and now the florists are getting real fused up about it. Aye, they are studying the most courtly of manners in so far as the art of kneeling is concerned. If the vogue spreads as it is already doing, the cavaliers of tho

BLACK MATERIALS IN VOGUE
Really Unlimited Possibilities in the Color, if 1t Is Effectively and
 Carefully Employed.

Black is to enjoy marked measure of vogue this season. That announce ment has been made by style creators, in fashion periodicals, in the daily press. And most women have adopted it as a statement of fact, but have doubted that black could be effec. lively used for really dressy cos tunes. Somehow it's past record as a staple has initiated against it's con sidoration as anything else. A sur vey of some of the afternoon and eve- ming models fashioned from black ma teria,s will dispel any such idea. Black has unlimited possibilities. ~
 Tiie secret of it's use-successful use-depends upon the material en- ployed and the modelling of the gar mcnt.
 The dressy black costume must be more dressy. more elaborate ill mod cling, than the costume fashioned from cclored fabric. Translated into evening frocks, black materials re- qu;rc the use of frills and furbelows in order to counteract the absence of color. Lace and nets must be used in r:o.lsion. Satin must be employed, because it's surface reflects light. Jet and scquiil trimming are utilized for the game reaSpn.'

Having often wished that he were twins in order that he might be here and abroad at the same time, Burton Holmes, the most famous traveller and lecturer on travel in the world today, has entered the motion picture field, and will be able to appear simultaneous ly before a hundred audiences in as many leading theatres throughout the country, through a contract with the Paramount Pictures Corporation just consummated.
