And, although not so many weeks ago Mr. Newman: his worthy rival touched upon many of the same things, Mr. Holmes shed new light on the old, as well as on the new, and had his audience under a spell that he has evoked and maintained intact for the past two dozen or more years.

In yesterdya’s rejuvenation of Rome there was much to delight the ear and eve. According to the sta tlingly effective methods of the pres ent government in another decade, Rome should be the most, interesting as well as the most modern city of sl times.
