CLASS 1— Travel and Transportation 19 COURTESY TITLE REEL ^O. THE FALLS. Yosemite is particularly famous for its incomparable waterfalls, the most important of which are shown in this superb film. Bridal Veil Falls, Ribbon Falls, Cascade Falls, Yosemite Falls, Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls are among those which delight the eye of the person who views this picture. YOSEMITE IN WINTER. In addition to the gorgeous winter scenery this sequence contains a lot of interesting action. Youngsters snowballing, snowshoeing and skating on Mirror Lake add human interest to this excellent nature picture. The photography is exceptionally fine. 1 Reel Courtesy of BERTHOLF & SONS 111 TOMBS AND TEMPLES OF THE PHAROAHS THE PYRAMIDS AND THE SPHINX TOMBS AND TEMPLES OF THE PHAROAHS takes the observer on a personally conducted tour through one of the most romantic and fascinating sections of Egypt. Among the interesting scenes are the court of statues where one of the Pharoahs erected statues of himself at various ages, and the famous tomb of Tut-Ank-Amen which received so much attention a few years ago. THE PYRAMIDS AND THE SPHINX is a modern adaptation of this familiar subject. It shows a desert taxi stand where the conveyances are camels. A dragoman drags a woman tourist to the top of the great pyramid. From this point a wonderful vista is unrolled. Far below, the ground for many acres is covered by an enormous triangular shadow of the pyramid and the camels look like ants. A well planned, well photographed travelogue. 1 Reel Courtsy of EMPIRE TRADING COMPANY 112 SCENES IN JAPAN An authentic travelogue that catches the enchanting spirit of the Orient. It was undoubtedly produced in Japan by Japanese motion picture people, for even the titles are printed in the Japanese language. A wide variety of exotic scenery, beautiful buildings and intimate glimpses into the interesting lives of the Japanese are introduced in this picture. Majestic temples, impressive statues, ornate gateways and quaint bridges impart beauty and charm to the film. Human interest is added in the form of parades, carnivals and bustling street scenes. Japan has always been noted for its lovely gardens, several of which are shown in this picture. Anyone who contemplates traveling in the near or distant future should see this film without fail. It will also be enjoyed by those who are not able to leave their home towns but who, nevertheless, appreciate the broadening influence which may be derived from "film-traveling." 1 Reel Brighten Your Peu^ies With Motion Picture Shows
