The Cliff Dwellers of America
The first picture of the new Paramount-Burton Holmes Travel pictures recount Mr. Holmes' motor trip of the summer of 1913 through the more picturesque and interesting portions of New Mexico. As the journey leads through the lands of the former cliff-dwellers and former and present occupants of these prehistoric apartment houses called pueblos, Mr. Holmes chose to begin his trip at Chicago, there to see the cliff-dwellers of today threading in countless throngs the deep "Canyons" flanked on each side by the abodes of the modern "Cliff-dwellers." This is but a momentary glimpse, as the train is seen taking the audience to Santa Fe. From Santa Fe the travelers are taken to the famous pueblo of Taos and thence to the even more celebrated pueblo of Acoma, which was just as old, to all appearances, when the Spanish Conquistadores came up out of Old Mexico in 1740, to convert the Indians and conquer the country in the name of their King...

The second release in the series picks up Mr. Holmes' fellow-travelers at the very brink of the Grand Canyon, just as a train has arrived at the El Tovar Hotel, disgorging its human freight. Before the descent of the Canyon trails is made the audiences are taken to various celebrated Lookout points, from which the more notable views of this gigantic marvel of Nature may be viewed to the best advantage. The Grand Canyon is over a mile deep, twelve miles wide and two hundred and seventeen miles long. Through its lowest depths, the Colorado river still cuts its twisting path, carrying with it thousands of tons of silt and other matter, thus continuing its work of making the Canyon deeper and deeper as the centuries roll on. The travelers then begin the perilous descent of the Canyon, which is more than 6,000 feet deep. Down to the very rapids of the muddy Colorado, Mr. Holmes takes his party, there to stand on the shore and watch the frightful power of the river...
