HOLMES-"The Mystery of Angkor.'

In the final travelogue of the Bur
ton Holmes series at the National
Theater this afternoon at $3.50 and
again in the evening at $50 Mr..
Holmes is to expose one Of the secret
places of the world. Not only is it
a secret place, but a place full of Sc
crets.
Under the more or less mysterious
title Revealing Angkor the Great,
he will show for the first time to an
American audience a great forgotten
and almost buried city, metropolis of
the ancient Khmer civilization in Cam
bodia, a civilizat ton which died in the
twelfth century and was not brought
to life until 1907. The royal city of
Angkor- Thom-"Angkor the Great"
within the wall of which over a mil
lion people were said to have lived,
and where were built great temples
and palaces all carved in q tapestry of
low relief which rivals the sculptured
pylons before the temples of Egypt.
Then all at once the whole thing
was blotted out. The jungle, creeping
UP like a tide, completely swallowed
this labor of the centuries. 1t left no
history-simply passed, and so it re-
manned until it was discovered in 1907
by French naturalist.
Mr.. Holmes has just returned from
Indo- China and his revelation of that
unfamiliar country, the picturesque
port of Saigon, the journey up the
Mekong River, the strange street life
of the jungle city Of Pnom-Penh, the
