ALASKAN ADVENTURES
Three men, Art Young, champion archer; Captain Jack Robinson, intrepid guide, and an unnamed camera man, journey into that part of Alaska where "the mountains are nameless and the rivers run God knows where." They have agreed to carry no weapons except bows and arrows and to kill for necessity only. Several fine closeups are shown of Rocky Mountain goats and also of the most elusive of all Alaskan animals, mountain sheep. A remarkable sequence shows Young stalking a mountain sheep and bringing it down with an arrow. Then follows a thrilling journey on a frail raft which hurtles down a raging torrent flowing north, presumably into the Arctics. Herds of caribou are shown. Young creeps up close to a gigantic moose and dispatches it with an arrow. By dog team the party crosses the snow covered wastes to the Yukon, where they are fortunate enough to witness a wonderful spectacle.
Part two opens with a view of the Yukon River just as the ice is beginning to break up. For a mile wide and 2,000 miles long, the mighty river is one mass of crashing, swiftly moving, floating ice. Within a few hours the ice has been carried to the sea and a wonderful transformation from winter to summer scenery has taken place. A visit is paid to Mount Katmai, the largest active volcano in the world, and to the unique place known as the "Valley of Ten thousand Smokes." Next the adventurers go to Kodiak where they see several Kodiak bears catching salmon as they come up to the small streams to spawn. Young kills an enormous bear weighing 1200 pounds with his bow and arrows. One of the most fascinating sport and travel pictures ever made.

CRYSTAL CHAMPIONS
In Silver Springs, Florida, there is a marvelous underwater playground. Through some magic of the cameraman's art, the person viewing this film is able to see objects with remarkable clearness under the water. Girls and men swim before the lens, performing all sorts of graceful and clever stunts beneath the surface of the crystal-clear water. Another sequence features two famous divers. Helen Meany and Pete Desjardines, diving from a springboard, showing them in the air and also under the water. Among the other stars of the picture are Johnny Weismuller. Martha Norelius and Newton Perry, who is shown chasing and catching large turtles under water.
When this picture was shown, some time ago. in leading theatres throughout he country, it was greeted with enthusiastic applause. Not only swimmers, but everybody else will get a series of big thrills from this remarkable film.
