AMAZING ARIZONA

When the Desert is in Bloom


Burton Holmes thought that he knew our Great Southwest, but when last spring he led his camera crew into the magic realm of wonders in Southern Arizona he found a fresh world of novel sights to conquer.  His 
Amazing Arizona
 is a triumph of brilliant photography.  The weird beauty of that land of sunshine, the charming strangeness of its luxurious hotels and inns, the glory of the flower-carpeted desert, the dazzling kaleidoscopic gayety of the fiestas along the Mexican border, and the charm of the famous fishing port of Guaymas are all brought to his screen with abounding vim and vividness.




ALASKA and the YUKON

Uncle Sam's Last Frontier


Last June, with his new color cameras, Burton Holmes invaded again our most wonderful wilderness.  He found a changed Alaska of transformed cities and of vastly improved means of communication and conditions of sojourn.  He found also the magnificent unchanged Alaska of ever-enduring beauty and ever-astounding grandeur.  Six weeks of brilliant nightless days made possible his comprehensive picture-record of the long, varied journey by fjord, rail and river, through a land of overwhelming scenic majesty, glorified by the radiance of the midnight sun.




The CANADIAN ROCKIES

Switzerland of America


Last summer the famous beauty spots of Western Canada attracted record-breaking multitudes.  Burton Holmes, aided by Thayer Soule, was on the artistic war-path, shooting the scenic glories of the Rockies and the doings of the throngs of delighted visitors.  From the charming city of Victoria

 to exquisite Emerald Lake, from lordly Banff to Mount Assiniboine, from magnificent Lake Louise to lovely Jasper Park and the vast Columbia Icefield, all the impressive splendor of America's Switzerland will glow upon his screen and all the fun of a memorable holiday in Wonderland will come to life in his all-color motion pictures.




The DUTCH EAST INDIES

Treasure Islands of the Orient


The romance of travel is still to be enjoyed in the tropical island empire of Netherlands India.  Beautiful Java with its teeming millions of gentle, sarong-clad brown folk, is one of the pleasantest, most quaintly picturesque countries in the world.  Sumatra is as yet an almost undiscovered playground for the tourist.  Other islands with their varied and peculiar cultures, customs and costumes, await our astonished inspection.  Nowhere in the Far East will the traveler find regions richer in fantastic sights and possibilities of rare and high adventure than in this alluring equatorial archipelago.




The CAPTIVE CAPITALS

Paris, Prague, Vienna, Oslo, Athens and the rest—


Thirteen noble cities of the Old World are today in chains.  No longer may we go happily abroad—to saunter up the Champs-Elysées, or stand on the Charles Bridge of the Bohemian Capital, or drive along the Ring-Strasse.  We do not care to see our favorite cities as they appear today.  But Burton Holmes can conjure up for us visions of all those captive, but not conquered capitals as they were when their hearts were warm and gay—when Frenchmen, Czechs, Poles, Belgians, Dutchmen, Danes, Norwegians, Luxemburgers, Austrians, Rumanians, Serbs, Bulgars and Greeks were masters in their native lands.
