Colonial houses and doorways are first shown, followed by a trip to the Isle of Shoals and quaint Gos- port church. The State House at Concord is shown with the statues to Daniel Webster, Gen. John Stark, and Franklin Pierce. The parade is shown which was held to com- memorate the ratification of the constitution These background scenes are followed by others to show some of the industries and advantages of New Hampshire as a State: its water power for generating electricity to use in transforming pulpwood into paper; the use of its granite in many of the public buildings in Washington, D.C.; its high schools, state university, and Dartmouth College; its popu- larity as a summer playground for adults and for children's camps; the beauties of the White Mountains; fun in fishing in well-stocked streams; the summer theatre; the Mt Wash- ington and the Flume, also the aerial tramway The concluding scenes show New Hamp- shire's agriculture, dairy and poultry farming; and the fun to be had in the winter sports of skiing, skating, and dog sleds. Narrated by Alois Havrilla "One of the best two-reelers ever to be fashioned as good-will ambassador for a com- munity's industrial and recreational advan- tages. . . The picture covers an amazing amount of subject matter—historical, cultural, industrial, recreational. But interest never wanes. The finale, following stirring shots of New Hampshire in Winter, in contrast to the already delineated Summer glories, is ingeni- ously devised."
