THOMAS TOURED
H0LyLAND BY AERO
Traveller Made Cinema Record
of His Spectacular and
Novel Achievement.

Lowell Thomas. who is now appear
ing at the shubert-Garrick Thester
with "The Last OF the Crusaders,
was the first to tour the Holy Lane
by aeroplane and the first to take
cinema camera recording one OF the
most dramatic and spectacular
achievements the world has ever
known.
Mr.. Thomas pictures are divided
into two parts. "The Capture OF Jeru-
salem" and 1.-THE Liberation OF Holy
Arabia" They are a revelation, and
until they have been seen and MT.
Thomas dissertation heard, no one
can form any idea OF what the genius
of General Allenby achieved, with the
unwavering support and courageous
cooperation OF his soldiers against
the Turks in Palestine.
The wonders OF the film are too nu-
merous to mention: to the tune OF
Lowell Thomas IL reels out . romance
beyond the conception OF any OF the
most Imaginative OF our modern story
writer's. We are taken from Cairo to
Palestine by aeroplane and look down.
as none have looked before, from the
most modern marvel to the most an
cient. the Pyramids. We pass over
the Suez Canal, the ancient Philistine
city OF Cara, where Samson wooed
his sweetheart, Delilah. and over the
battlefield where the Scots defeated
the Turks and where David slew Go
Hath. We hear of two heroic young
officers whose plane fell in the des-
ert, beyond human aid. and OF the Ill
Innate discovery OF their bodies. The
observer had kept a diary in which he
told how the pilot shot himself on the
chance that their remaining water
might sustain the observer until he
was found by other planes. We hear
Of an officer whose controls damned
and who had the option OF falling
into the enemies lines or the sea. He
chose the latter, and swan seven
teen miles back to his own troops.
We meet with Colonel or Shereef
Lawrence, the uncrowned king OF
Arabia. one Of the most striking per-
sonalities of modern times. En- route
70 the sacred mountains Of Edom we
pass Petra, the enchanted red rose
city half az old as time" city of the
dead, given over to the sand. Thence
along ;hc Dead Sea and by armored
car through the lard of Moab. 1t
would take q column or more to refer
to the essentials of the film, to Allen
by's organization OF thousands of
camels, his wonderful railroads. the
battles land forced marches. the relief
OF starving villagers. the building Of
new roads. the reinforcing of old ones
and the reinforcing of captured gar
risons. or his decoration after his
unostentatious entry into Jerusalem
by the Duke Of Connaught, and of his
joining forces with Colonel Lawrence
when closing in on Damascus. and of
his final capture of Aleppo and tho
downfall OF the Ottoman empire.
There are hundreds upon hundreds
OF episodes in this true and romantic
story that thrill you. aid thrill you
until the last letter.
