AUDITORIUM

Matinee and Night

Lyman H. Howe and his ever-new
Travel Festival will come to the Audi
forum tomorrow, Tuesday, matinee and
night. Regular theatregoers and never
theatregoers alike know go well that
Howe S Travel Festival is the one at
traction above all that it just won t do
to. miss. For real enjoyment, no the
atrlcal attraction is comparable with it
and it is for precisely this reason that
no other attraction is anticipated with
so much pleasure by such legion of
patrons. One of the most alluring fea-
lures of the new production comprises
tour to the Hawaiian Islands with
their extraordinary attractions and
tropical wonders which so completely
captivated Kpling, Mark Twain,
Stevenson lack London and many other
famous people. A most interesting
pEasa of tH3 journey is a visit into the
active -, or of KiIauea where specta-
tors will see q river of living fire and
molten lava at much closer range than
the average human being would care
to approach. Another takes them to
Waikiki beach enclosed by great coral
reef barrier where the natives indulge
most skillfully in that ''sport of sports'
-surf-riding, form of amusement
originated by the Hawaiians. No white :
man has yet been able to equal their
dexterity in riding on the crest of roll
ing waves.
Medieval and Modern Spain also
contribute a most picturesque series.
1t reveals several vistas of the Pvrenees
and superb specimens of the engineer
ing skill Of the Romans in constructing
bridges that have stood the test of cen
turtles. Evidences of the glory of
medieval times are afforded abundant
ly by the grandeur of the architecture.
One of the cities visited is Seville, with
its graceful Moorish tower known as
the Giralda. 1t rises to height of $50
feet and is the magnet of attraction
for all travellers. Every foot of the film
is redolent of Spanish atmosphere; ira
dition and custom. The costumes rival
in hues young Joseph S coat of many
colors.
Another film journey takes the au-
dience through that ..'traveler s para
disc Norway, to the most northern
city of Europe-Hammerfes 1t is
made through the famous fjords which
wind and rewind about the bases of
mountains which makes this mountain
girdled region the most remarkable for
nation on earth. 10 travel on ocean
avenues between these frowning cliffs
of fearful height seems like sailing
through Switzerland. 4 vast herd of
Reindeer is encountered on the trip
several thousand are seen assembling on
shore and then following the example
Of their leader they plunge into the
ford for a long and hazardous swim.
AS a visual example of the vital ques-
ton of our military preparedness in
this epoch of international warfare,
Mr.. Howe has just completed most
elaborate film reproduction of every
phase of life at West Point Besides
inspiring degree of pride and patriot
ism, the film wildly sets forth the rigid
discipline and precision enforced by in
tricate drills and maneuvers. 1t con
stitutes forceful and absorbing OBJ
ject lesson in human efficiency.
Besides ANY other subjects such as
bird life, ;aId fishes, in the colors of
nature, numerous new comedy cartoons
fashioned by the lively fancies of
Howe s artists will enliven the whole
program.
