We are next taken to Algiers where we see the old and new sections of this ancient home of the Barbary pirates. Also some excellent examples of old Moorish architecture. The beauty of "THE ALHAMBRA," ancient citadel of the Moorish Kings in Spain, is clearly shown. There are also excellent views of the country around Granada, emphasizing the citadel's strategic location. Then we visit Granada, Spain. This is a companion picture to "THE ALHAMBRA" and gives an excellent idea of the rare beauty of this section of Old Spain. 1 Reel Courtesy of GLOBE GRAIN & MILLING COMPANY 118 CARLSBAD CAVES Of all the scenic wonders of America, none can compare with the Carlsbad Caves. The many exquisite and stupendous features of this famous resort are brought out clearly in this film-tour, which is personally conducted by Jim White, the cowboy who discovered the Caves in 1903. Among the numerous marvels along the way are the "King's Chamber." the Seven-IMile Tunnel, The Baby Hippo, which looks exactly like a stone animal, the Totem Pole and the Chinese Temple. It is estimated that the formation called "Twin Domes" was over fifty million years in the making. The "Big Room" is three quarters of a mile long, 650 feet wide, 258 feet high and 750 feet beneath the earth's surface. But not all the attractions are notable for their size. Some of the formations are as delicate and dainty as hand-made lace. Others resemble forget-me-nots and lily pads. One section called "Fairyland" is well named. This film is a classic of scenic splendor. See it by all means. Use Your Projector in Your Church
