The Motion Picture Route
By O. A. MILLER
If the passing of the summer finds you plodding still away, And the routine of employment keeps you toiling day by day, If you cant afford an outing, with its high expense to boot, Stop a moment while I tell you of the Motion Picture Route.
Tho you long for a vacation when your purse is scant and slim, Do not give way to sadness for the chance that seems so slim. Modern genius wrought a blessing which the mind cannot compute, When it introduced all mankind to the Motion Picture Route.
Should you care to view Niagara, or the dizzy Alpine heights, Or the Babylonian marvels, with their awe-inspiring sights, Or perhaps the frozen Arctic, with its wonders, cold and mute, Just go spend a modest nickel on the Motion Picture Route.
Take a trip and see great Cheops and the silent Sphinx of old ; See the land of She of Sheba, with plethoric wealth untold ; Penetrate where Ali Baba in deep caverns hid his lootDo it with a modest stipend on the Motion Picture Route.
You can almost hear the purling of the mountain streams out West, Plainly see the big volcano belching fire from its crest. To Yosemite's vast park-lands, Colorado's giant butte, You will find an easy access by the Motion Picture Route.
You can scale the Height of Glory, stroll thru cities of the dead, Or with Dante view Inferno, by the wraith of Virgil led. In the tombs of the Etruscans ancient lore will hold you mute, Till you take another flyer on the Motion Picture Route.
Do not envy your -rich neighbors in their countryside retreats, You may drift with gay gondolas down the famed Venetian streets. Just a nickel buys you solace, guaranteed to please and suit, If you take your transportation on the Motion Picture Route.
You may aeroplane with birdmen over scenes and landscapes green, Or repose in Placid Valley, where sweet Nature smiles serene; While amid the constellations, where the meteors dart and shoot, You can do some artful dodging — on the Motion Picture Route.
Take a trip of half an hour, swiftly speeding on thru space,
And observe the world's great doings as you move from place to place
You can see events of moment which the daily papers bruit —
Take the Pathe Weekly Special on the Motion Picture Route.
You'll receive new inspiration from the miracles you see, And then vow such brief "vacations" are a time of joy and glee, Just because you took a voyage where the price will ever suit — Thru the maze of real and mystic, on the Motion Picture Route.
