Thomas, now in his early thir- ties, has already experienced a mostl amazing career of romantic travel and adventure. He has explored Alaska, has been a star reporter on metropolitan dailies, a college pro- fessor, and a literary free lance writer. Only American Observer Lowell Thomas was the only American observer with Lawrence in his mysterious Arabic campaign# and with General Allenby in Pales-" tine. It was while a member of the staffs of these great leaders that he was enabled to gather the, material which forms the basis of his lecture which he will give to- night, entitled, "With Lawrence In Arabia and Allenby in Palestine." Remarkable motion pictures and stills taken on these missions will be used in illustrating the lecture. Thomas came to know Britain's famous general intimately and brings a vivid, gripping picture of Lawrence and his superhuman achievement in raising an army ofI 200,000 Bedouinr4 in the ArabianC desert. His pictures of the con- quest with Allenby in freeing the Holy Land from the Turks are con- sidered by many to be the finest battle films ever shown . In his spare time, Mr. Thomas' has written several best sellers,I among which "With Lowrence in Arabia," and .'The Sea Devil," are probably the best known. A Noted Speaker Not only as an author and adven- turer has Mr. Thomas become noted, but he is reputed to be one of the ablest speakers in Amer- ica today. His pictoral record of events in Arabia and other travels have been endorsed by over 4,000,- 000 people who have heard him speak during the course of the past ten years. Tickets for the Madame Sun Yat-' Sen lecture will be used for thisI lecture it has-been announced by the Oratorical Association. Single admission tickets at $1.00 each for this one appearance may be obtain- ed at Slater's book store or at the box-office in Hill auditorium, which: will be open at 7 o'clock tonight.' The entire right section of the main floor and a portion of the balcony: has been set aside for holders of these tickets.
