NATIONAL—Burton Holmes. Burton Holmes closed *his _season yesterday afternoon at the National Theater with a “Great World Cruise,” in which he described and pictured the colorful high lights of every coun- try that girdles the globe. Starting from New York, a first thrill not down in the itinerary was the rescue of the crew of a schooner in distress and a motion view of the seas breaking over the sinking craft. Pausing at Bermuda, acquaintance was made with the potato, enion and Easter lily that provide prosperity for that “peaceful paradiss,” and later glimpses given of picturesque Ha vana. From ocean to ocean, via thr Panama Canal, led to the- Far East, with special attention paid to our own possess'ons, and succeeding motion panoramas of “the Seoul,” of life and labor in Man- churia, of “the passing show of Hong- kong,” a cruise among the fantastic Rock Islands of the Bay of Along ang a visit to “Sulu and the Sultan.” Dropping below the Equator to tropical Australia, the sneaker showed a series of amazing pictures made by Ryco, explorer, who “biked across Australia and lived a year with naked | of New Zealand were contrasted, and in South Australia exciting revelation was made of the fleetness and sagac- ity of kangaroos when hunted by automobliles. A trip to a Java tea plantation, to a ceremony at the Shwe Dagon Pagoda led to the road to Mandalay, and a later to the join ing of pilgrims on the Ganges. Pause was made at the shrine of the Taj Mahal and a still view given of the praying multitudes of the great mosque at Delhi. Bombay, Port Said. with an experience of the Red Sea, led to a specially beautiful visioning of the Italian Riviera, and after pass. ing Gibraltar, Tangier and Granada, with a brief stop at Paris, ship for America was taken at Cherbourg and the run around the world was over. = o Chauncey McCormick Gets Post.
