{Burton Holmes. on Rome. {Burton Holmes opened his thirty- sfcond season at the National Theater Yesterday with a travelogue that ive masterly conception of “Im- prtal Rome." Two months of intensive study with pkn and camera 'ast Summer, added to the knowledge of many previous v[sits, have produced, for the lecture- lover's wonderment, a panorama of th history of the Eternai City—from. the remoteness of time that must ac- cépt a wolf's nursling for a founder, oh through the grandeur that was FKome's at the helght of its pagan glory to ite fall and the blood-birth of Christianity in the arena of the Colosseum. There is an opening vista, “the largest church, the largest tomb, the largest palace and the largest mod- ern structure at one glance'—a glimpse-synopsis of Rome. To follow voice and picture is to realize splendors that non-travelers can only read about: The castle of St. Angelo, “tomb of the Caesars and citadel of the Popes.” The dungeon that was the prison of Beatrice Cenct, whose world-popu'ar portrait fades into cheapness in contrast to the original shown in the gailery of the Vatican. “The miles of magnifi- cance,” represented by the museum of the Vatican. “The Church of St. Jéhn Lateran, it's holy stairs and ex- Quisite oloisters.” The private garden of the Pope. Other gardens of Lu cullus and Messalina “down to date. Vistone of Rome from its Pinclan j - THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The Lorraine sisters, with the as- sistance of Roy Sheldon and Billy Taylor, present a fine dancing act, the two men helping out on planos while the siaters are changing their beautiful costumes. Frank Davis and Adele Darnell are back with their old sketch, “Caterpillars,” and record thelr usual laughing hit. Leonard Gautler has a unique animal act | which is presented under the title ¥The Bricklayers,” in which well taught canines carry the hod up a ladder and otherwise help in the con- struction of a building. The Luster brothers are seen in startling acro- batic stunts; Alice Tupman, a YOung Washington girl, is pleasing in songs, and the regular house attractions round out the bill. Three perform- ances are announced for Thanksgiv- ing day, at 2, 5 and $:15 o'clock. Strand—"Review of Revues.
