DR. GUSTAV GRAHN THRILLING MOTION PICTURE ADVENTURES



DR. GUSTAV GRAHN,
 noted naturalist, lecturer, explorer and adventurer is one of the world's greatest photographers.  His famous programs are unique travel and adventure entertainment with outstanding motion pictures.  His marvelous films in technicolor have received the highest praise from film experts.  Dr. Grahn has spent years on his great lecture-programs at a cost of many thousands of dollars.




Born in Sweden, a few miles from the Arctic circle, Dr. Grahn was initiated into Arctic thrills as a boy.  Early in life, in true Viking spirit, his wanderlust brought him to America.  Between years of schooling and the acquiring of a higher education, with graduate study at two European universities, travel and a flair of the unusual became his avocation.




The art of picture-taking grew as a natural accompaniment to his other activities.  So absorbing did this hobby become that he now processes his own films in his private laboratory.




Dr. Grahn has a dynamic personality and a fine platform bearing.  It is little wonder, then, that his outstanding pictures have won him fame on lecture platforms both here and abroad.  Dr. Grahn's adventure articles have appeared in Sunday magazine sections and his pictures in the rotogravure sections of leading American newspapers.  His book, 
Mediterranean Adventures,
 published in Europe, enjoys a wide circulation.  His radio talks over national net-works have been well received.

The Fascinating Islands of the Caribbean

A world-famed photographer and traveler visits the Bahamas, Jamaica.  Trinidad, Haiti and the Keys in his own yacht.

In marvelous natural color Dr. Grahn shows the old castles and forts in Cuba, life on sugar and coffee plantations and in the cities.  Sailing in his own yacht up and down the rivers of Florida, over the lakes, Dr. Grahn has taken excellent shots of wild life.  Tourist centers on the East and West Coasts are not forgotten … shrimp fishing, etc.





American Holiday with Wild Life



An engrossing lecture illustrated with thrill-packed motion pictures of wild animal life in technicolor.  Many scenes were taken in Alaska and the Rockies.  Others in the vast wilderness areas of Canada, inaccessible except by pack train, boat, skis or airplane.  This fascinating and dramatic record of wild life is the result of numerous expeditions.





Sweden and Finland



As a student Dr. Grahn attended Upsala University in Sweden and U. of Helsingfors in Finland.  Before the war he covered both countries by motorcycle, automobile and airplane.  His skiing ability enabled him to obtain pictures in remote places seldom visited.  Part of film in natural color.





In Lion Land with the Movie Camera



Gustav Grahn, in person, gives you African adventures in thrilling motion pictures.  Exciting battles with the beasts of the jungle, primitive savages in weird ceremonies and native dances.  Dr. Grahn penetrated some of the world's wildest and most inaccessible regions, never before traversed by white men to get these remarkable pictures.




Dr. Grahn's motion pictures are in 35 mm and 16 mm —
