LOHR STORES 7002 WHERE TRAFFIC IS ALL WET GRAND CANYON OF THE COLORADO AIRPLANE ACROBATICS "WHERE TRAFFIC IS ALL WET" opens with a view of the floating city on the river of Shanghai, China, where thousands of families live in boats which are so crowded together that it is difficult to find a parking place. Then the observer is taken to Japan and is conducted along some very odd highways of water transportation. One sequence shows boats climbing hills with the aid of a special carriage. Another depicts boats going through an underground river. "THE GRAND CANYON OF THE COLORADO" will always be a popular mecca for the sightseer. This film does full justice to the land of magnificent distances. "AIRPLANCE ACROBATICS" shows intimate views of an airplane stunting, taken from another plane. The standard tricks, such as loops, barrel rolls, Immelman turns and flying upside down are shown in this fascinating picture. A varied entertainment with a universal appeal. 1 Reel Courtesy of SUNSET PHOTO SUPPLY, INC. 7003 THRILLS TOUCHING PORT HERE AND THERE THRILLS: This title tells the story.
