Specially Imported by MacMahon and Lodder. This graphic picture-story of one of the most romantic chapters of tho history of the world's exploration depict* with masterly fidelity the events closely associated with Columbus's discovery of America. The firse scene shows Christopher Columbus at Genoa, trying to obtain assistance from the Senate for his intended voyage of discovery. ; But the saying " A prophet hath no honour in his own country," proved too true in hid ease, and his theories »re scorned. Tired, worn, and almost In direst povert), Columj bus is next seen seeking an audience with • Queen Isabella of Spain, who, surrounded j by a gay retinue, is taking a stroll in the I palace gardens at Granada. After seven I long years. Columbus's earnestness, persej verance, and persuasiveness result in Queen Isabella overcoming the scruples of. h«ir { husband, King Ferdinand, by offering to ; pledge her jewels to defray the expenses lof Columbus's expedition. At the age of I 5€ Columbus seta out on his fateful voyage. i The old-fashioned galleons, under full sail, j are depictad leaving I'alos, on August 3, 1492. Next is witnessed ihe mutiny, when, j after 70 days at sea, the Bailors become alarmed. Tho situation is saved by the look-out man sighting land (12th October, 1492). The landing of Columbus, his kindness to the Indians, and his subsequent arrest after three voyages to America, are illustrated in quick succession. Finally i Columbus, fretting in prison under a false I accusation, sees through the bars Amerigo i Vespucci,- another explorer, making a 1 triumphal procession through the streets, ! enjoying the honours Columbus himself so | richly deserved. The closing scene, the dream of Columbus, represents the majestic memorial erected to hi 3 memory in Genoa. POSITIVELY ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT PHOTO PLAYS EVER WITNESSED.
