Guided and Miss Guided
Could you sit down hard on a glacier eighty feet thick - and smile? The sweet young mountain climber in this picture has her own methods for getting up on jagged crags and towering peaks. But she gets there triumphantly - and smiles, smiles, smiles! That's how the film was commercially presented. The girl was a young tourist lady who buys a sweet mountaineering costume, hires two Swiss guides, and embarks on an ascension to Mount Assiniboine. A story written by Katherine Hilliker and produced by C.L. Chester in cooperation with Outing, 'the magazine of all outdoors'.
