HOWE TRAVEL FESTIVAL.

Lyman II. Howe's Travel Festival
which comes 20 the Oliver Wednes-
day and Thursday, Nov. % and so,
is inimitable not only because of the
scenes themselves, but also because
Of the way they are presented. Mr..
Howe links the sense of sound with
the sense OF sight so precisely and
yet SO naturally that the effect is
hypnotic in its compelling power. He
knows how to Undue the mere lights
and shadows of electric rays with a
vitality that is akin to life itself.
Hidden corners OF the earth, life
and customs in strange Chimes, ard
the scenic spots of foreign lands are
all produced in picture form that is
perfection. II lifts the veil which
distance has placed between us and
foreign countries and enables us TO
realize how others dress. move, and
out dryness and imparts a certain
knowledge which no books or lee
turer could Mr.. Howes new pro-
gram includes medieval and mod
ern Spain, far-off Hawaii, the United
States Military academy at West
Point and diversified activities by the
splendidly trained cadets, snow
bound Norway, the amusing pranks
Of tiny baby, odd dissolving por-
traits of famous men. various speci-
mems of birds and fish in their ma
tural cOlors. new animated cartoons
and many others.

When Gen. Robert r. Lee. at APP

marginal notes on the papers Of the

ISLANDERS for a pencil. Strange 20
say, not one Of the numerous Off

of Lees staff extracted pocket ink

and with the aid OF these the his
tOric document was written and the
names OF Grant and Lee affixed at
the bottom.
The above bit of history was dug

K. AND F. CLUB
BILL DELIGHTFUL
HumoriSt and Reader, Aided
by Quartet, Score Heavily
at Banquet.

The varied program offered at the
knife and Fork club banquet at the
Oliver last evening including as II
did Madame Harriet I.abadie's dram
attic Interpretations. John y. Wells
reading OF dialect poems Of Back
Home" and the Notre Dame quar-
tets singing. was one OF the best
ever given AT the Knife and Fork
club banquet. according 10 the unan-
imous verdict OF the three hundred
or more members OF the organiza-
ton in attendance at the affair.
II was Nine. Labadie's first APP
pearance in south Esend in an offer
ing something out OF the ordinary
for a Knife and Fork club banquet,
but through her great talent and
charming personality she simply
took the club by storm and was vot-
ed by all 10 be one OF the most de-
ightful entertainers that has ever
visited the city. John d. Wells read
his verses in such an inimitable
manner as TO add much TO the eff
feet of the verses themselves. which
compare favOrably with the best Of
James WhitcOmb Riley's. The
quartet from the Notre Dame Glee
club made as many hits as il sang
songs.
John d. Well verses are Of a
much higher order than those or
dinarily found in the papers and
magazines OF the day. Mr.. Wells
declared that ne was always friend
Is with a man until ne calls me "a
poet because there is a distinction
between a poet and a versifier, the
poet lives with his wife's relatives
and a versifer has a salary 10 share
with them"
Mr. Wells. who conducts a humOr-
Gus column for the Buffalo News,
declared that there wasn't any aim
i'm the barrel OF his verses except to
carry his hearers back 10 the days
and people they knew before they
came TO South Bend" but ne pic
tured in such cleverly rounded stan
zas the "Old Home where you can't
sand paper your rs and where
everybody says 'HOwdy, and the
folks live so long that if "A man dies
before he is eighty they tie a white
crepe on his door knob and carve
a lamb on his tomb" and he sketch
cd all the village folks. Ma
and Pa" the old fiddler" the
village ne'er-d o-well," and even "the
young 'un in pOkeberry time" with
such pathos or such humOr that he
left vivid upon the minds of mis-
audience a picture they will not soon
fOrget.

Nine. Labadie gave first a reading
of Wilfred Gibsons The Holiday

characters as almost TO make heI
audience believe they were witness
ing the enactment of the very scenes
depicted. Her voice meditation wa,
nearly perfect. her gesticulatiOn and
expression gave a personality to the
reading that brought out all the
humorous and touching situations Of
the sketches and more than meriteC
the abundant applause which she
won.
