GEORGIA FILMS
HERE YESTERDAY
DREW CROWDS
WERE SHOWN AT THE GRAND
YESTERDAY AND PROVED
TO BE GREAT ADVERTISE
MENT FOR THE STATE.

The Georgia motion picture. being
made by the Georgia chamber of com
merce to show to the people of the
north and west the wonderful re-
sources and varied development of
Georgia, was shown at the Grand yes
terday matinee and night, to two au-
| dlences Of several hundred each.
Three ocean steamers were shown
| loading at the Brunswick decks with
| cotton, naval stores and pig iron;
schoOners loading crossties; the plant
of the Georgia Veneer and Package
| company, the title stating that it is
the largest crate and basket factory
IN Georgia; and a shrimp-picking
scene at one of the local canning fac
tories and, though Brunswick is not
represented adequately in the picture,
and should have such additional views
as a profile of the water front and
city, some of the beautiful streets and
residences, and the great Yaryan Ma
val stores plant, the views of this city
are interesting and highly creditable
Officers of the Georgia chamber of
commerce state that the picture is not
yet entirely completed, and that it is
possible for Brunswick to yet secure
a little more space for highly desira-
bic views. 1t is understood that the
pictures will be sent to the north and
west with the two Georgia exhibit cars
that advertised California for the past
ten years, and are now being equipped
with exhibits of the products of Geor-
| gia by the state chamber of commerce.
and that the pictures will serve the
! double purpose of advertising Georgia
by visual demonstrations of the won
derful resources and progress Of the
state and of drawing people to the
! cars to see for themselves, in detail,
the great variety of products the
state contains or produces
The picture, which is in nine reels,
shows views from the mountains of
rorth Georgia to the seacoast at Bruins
wick and Savannah, and contains
many beautiful scenes, and is most
i'll, ,eresting and instructive In fact,
the educational value of the film to
enable the people of Georgia to know
their own state is of great import
lance. To the people of the up-country
the Seacoa8t scenes, such as those OF
great ocean steamers loading cotton,
naval stores, and pig iron, are as in
teresting and enlightening as are
those of the great marble quarries and
finishing works of Canton, Nelson and
Marietta, the ochre mine and the bar
rite mines at CarterSville, or the
great bydro-electric power develop
ments at Tallulah Falls and on the
Ocmulgee river near Jackson to the
people of Brunswick and south Geor-
gia
There are many scenes showing the
great progress made in agriculture
horticulture and stock raising, such as
the apple orchards of north Georgia
alfalfa fields in middle Georgia mod
ern barns with silos for the preserva-
ton of forage for winter feeding, the
Anderson Hereford stock farm at Ma
rietta, the magnificent Battle farm
near Moultrie, where beef cattle, reg
istered hogs and Shetland ponies are
being raised in large numbers, and all
off Of the feed produced on the farm.
Maps were shown giving the loca-
ton of the power lines, already Gov
ering much of north and middle Geor-
gia with a network of electric lines
the fertilizer factories all over the
state; and the cotton seed products
mills, of which there are a very large
number turning what was formerly a
waste product into dollars.
The colleges and district agricul;ur-
al schools are featured in the picture,
aid the magnificent showing Of educa-
tional facilities should be a convinc-
ing argument to the people of the
north and west of the enlightened
conditions prevailing in the Empire
state Of the South. One of the pret-
! test pictures of this kind was one of
the building and students Of Glynn
High school.
