Lawrence as the only American observer. He came thus to know the general intimately and by word and by picture gives a vivid, gripping presentation of Lawrence and his superhuman achievement of rising 200,000 Bedouins of the Arabian desert for service. He also accompanied Gen. Attenby&#8217;s cavalry which swept Turks from Palestine. These are authentic pictures and of real historical value as well as being thrilling ans astonishing. Several lantern slides as well as the movies are shown.
