...From its terrace one gets a magnificent view down the Valley of the Bow River. The natural bathtub at the Hot Springs, the Government pool, free for all; Sun Dance Canyon, scene of Ralph Connor's story of similar name, are shown, together with beautiful cloud scenes; bison, buffalo, mountain goats and yaks. H.R.H. the Princess Patricia of Connaught and her father, the Duke of Connaught, third son of Queen Victoria, are seen, with the survivors of "Princess Patricia's Own Regiment," which was nearly annihilated in Flanders. One of the veterans is wearing a watch charm made from the bullet which caused him to be invalided home. A corporal tells his adventure; three times he was buried in craters created by shell explosions: was invalided home, blind, deaf and dumb, and then run over by an auto and his sight, hearing and speech instantly restored.

"We have only one really tropic state in the good old U.S.A., and that is Florida, and so, just returning from the tropics of the Far East, Mr. Holmes suggests taking up his travels in his own country with what we have to compare with the sunny lands of the Orient. Therefore, it is to the place from which alligators, oranges, grapefruit and many of our cigars come from that he will take your patrons in this delightful tropical journey. While the little journeyette introduces them to many unusual sights in Florida there is one we are holding in reserve."

It is not often that your patrons will get a chance to take a trip through a veritable Garden of Eden. On his trip Burton Holmes will show them many strange and unusual sights of the Far East that they never before have witnessed, such as a Buddhist funeral procession of a much beloved saint. Don't run away with the idea that this is going to be sad, far from it. It will appeal to them the more like a joyous Carnival when they see it, the beautiful water falls of St. Clair, the tea fields and hosts of other sights equally interesting, finally the journey ends up with a water scene, showing the Cingalese people taking on the best sport in the land, bathing.
