 For twenty -three years Branson De Cou has traveled the world over in search of beautiful and inter- esting pictures with which to Illus trate his travel lectures.

The appeal of MT, De Cou's presentations, so authentic and su- premely artistic, yet devoid Of sen- sationalism and ostentatious adyen- ture, seems to grow from year to year. Perhaps the keen sense of humor and complete informality of his travel narratives have been im- portant factors in their success
