Through Europe

A provocative Photographic
resume of the salient points of in
terest of a northern European
tour, was the lecture theme OF
Burton Holmes, famous traveller
and raconteur, in the third of his
current travelogue series at the
National Theater yesterday after
noon.
One would hardly countenance
a Continental expedition unless
time were allotted for even a brief
halt in the charming capital OF
the French Republic. and so it
was from here that the visionary
camera caravan started. Moving
northward thence after the
Parisienne pause, the jaunt con-
tinues across the Belgian frontier,
where Brussels, it's smart capital
and the medieval Bruges, were
seen in some intimate glimpses.
The Netherlands, following in
turn, where was observed these
sturdy and quaint Dutch folk in
their daily pursuits in Amster-
dam, The Hague and spots of in
terest in the land of the dykes,
which proved fantastically inter
esting. Berlin stronghold OF i'm
periar Germany during the Hohen-
zollern dynasty; the Scandinavian
Peninsula, Denmark and its invit'
ing capital, Copenhagen, were
seen all too hastily in the fleeting
trek through the land of the
Danes.
Iceland, that far-off, isolated,
rocky province that lies in the
mid-Atlantic, was also included in
the spacious itinerary that Mr..
Holmes crowded in his afternoon
program.-CWAR.

told its story, Mr.. JolSon stepped
out of character long enough to
confess he was a market victim

some appropriate optimistic ad-

through the aisleS and reached
up to the stage boxes with trays
of ginger ale(?). They were whis-
pering afterward that such gin
ger ale has never been served
since the Shoreham buffet be-
came a memory, but perhaps it
was the inspiration of the familiar
Jolson tunes which proved so
stimulating. If subpoenaed I can

WALTER HUSTON spared r O m
the logical unfolding Of the story.
Huston Is Star
Walter Huston scores notably
as the super-racketeer. He gives
the role a reality that even Ed
ward G. Robinson would envy.
And the support given Huston by
Doris Kenyon, Loretta Young,
Dudley Diggs, David Manners and
the rest is something requiring
cheers.
There is a rather reminiscent
flavor in the racketeer's love for
his daughter and his desire that
she be happy and free Of the
racketeering system which had
grown mightier than its master
But there's a decided originality
in the development of the tale
which does not release its spec
tators from suspense until the
final scene.
The modus operandi of the sys
tenn, in levying tribute on pro
ducers and manufacturers, Is
graphically portrayed in a series
of thrilling sequences.
Among the short features is
