variety of incident, with exciting side-shows. The record of 1924 is deliberately more restrained, more artistic, and worthy of its title, The Epic of Mount Everest. We heartily commend these moving pictures to the notice of all our Fellows, and urge them not to miss the opportunity of seeing a film quite unlike the last. As a prologue to the representation Captain Noel has brought from Tibet seven Lamas from a monastery near Gyantse, and one of the Sherpa porters, all in the care of Mr. John Macdonald, son of the British tradeagent at Chumbi. We see and hear the celebrated 10-foot trumpets in a little scene of Lama life that is designed to create the right atmosphere. The incidental music introduces some of the charming Tibetan airs that Mr. Somervell collected in 1922. We regret only the unavoidable absence of a lecture such as accompanied the first film, for which the sub-titles, with a touch of the professional jargon, are a poor substitute
