THE EPIC OF EVEREST
Located in one of the most inaccessible corners of the world, Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, has for many years beckoned to adventurers. So far no one has succeeded in reaching its summit, 29,145 feet (about 5^/2 miles high) and return alive. This epic tells the story of the most recent attempt, which ended in a tragedy when two young men, Mallory and Irvine, reached a point only 600 feet from the summit, where they were seen for the last time by other members of the party watching through telescopes. They failed to return, and a searching party, after desperate but fruitless efforts to locate them, was forced to go back without them. From the standpoint of scenic beauty this film can not be excelled. The photography is unusually good, and the story is told in a clear and dramatic way.

MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE
For obvious reasons, Gibraltar, which has been a British fortress for centuries, has seldom been photographed from within. In this film, however, the observer is taken right inside the rock itself and is shown several interesting views taken from the so-called "Forbidden Galleries."
At Marrakesh, Morocco, the observer catches some intimate glimpses of Berber life — a life which has been practically untouched by European civilization. The personally conducted tour then brings us to Damascus, where we ride along the "Street Called Straight," which Saint Paul mentions in the Bible. Here we see the bustling bazaars, the majestic mosques and the historic walls of the ancient city. We are then taken to Cairo and are shown the famous citadel and the Alabaster Mosque. Native artizans working with their quaint, primitive tools, camels with their proud heads held high, and boats with triangular sails gliding across the Nile, complete this interesting and instructive travelogue.

PHOENIX FLYER
Tearing along the highways, over city streets, paved roads and bumpy detours — through mountains and deserts and fertile orchards — a Model A Ford covers the distance between Los Angeles and Phoenix, Arizona, in 8 hours, 14 minutes and 50 seconds, breaking the world's record for the Los Angeles-Phoenix run. Eddie Pullen and Harry Pullen, famou.^ racing drivers, handle the wheel but many of the scenes are so realistically presented that the observer enjoys the illusion of sitting in the driver's
