The picture series that accompanies the lecture is a work of art. Some of the scenes are interesting, and all are splendid examples of art coloring, but vaudeville audiences require something more in a lecture than the in- formation that there are so many square miles of territory in the Island of Luzon, and statistics touching upon the annual customs receipts from the exportation of tobacco, sugar or malaria, or whatever the “Mission” concerns itself with.
He advocates a life sized Doctrine. He wants the Philippines to have free trade with the United States in the exporting of sugar or tobacco or Moros or malaria or something, and he is doing his best to bring 'the highly desirable thing he wants about.
There is a surplusage of this sort of matter and a dearth of humor and in- teresting incident in the lecture that surprises one acquainted with Mr. Mcintosh's platform methods. As a vaudeville feature the lecture is a more valuable asset to the present national administration than to the vaudeville manager. Before matinee audiences Mr. Mcintosh's political propaganda will set the Republican party up in converts for at least a generation.
