Abstract
The travel lecture film is the archetypal form of the travelogue in cinema. It formed an important part of early cinema, flourished in later years, and continues today, notwithstanding predictions of its demise in the age of television, virtual reality, and the Internet. This essay examines the world of itinerant film lecturers who present silent travelogues with live narration throughout North America. In the tradition of Burton Holmes, these live travel lectures take place at hundreds of venues across the United States and Canada, including museums, concert halls, universities, and community clubs.
