Advertising is noticeable but because of subject of film it does not in our opinion detract from educa- tional value.

McCormick; the town of Natural Bridge, Vir- ginia. "Shots of the Natural Bridge from all angles follow; film contains a final short se- quence on desirability of Virginia as vacation state."

"The film opens with scenes from the symphonic drama, 'The Lost Colony,' and takes the audience from sand dunes and an- cient wrecks, inland through tulip fields and peach orchards, to the universities at Chapel Hill and Duke. "Proceeding westward across the Pied- mont, the movie reaches its climax in the re- sort area and the Great Smokies. "Although the main purpose of this film is obviously to interest travelers, the picture has real educational value—the settling of Roa- noke; agricultural produce represented by strawberries, peaches, melons, tobacco and cotton; Indian crafts shown on the Cherokee Reservation—all make this a delightful movie for groups of any age studying North Caro- lina."
