koIb's Wonderful Pictures Of
GIenwood Canon to be
Shown Here
SPLENDID ADVERTISING

Ellsworth l.. Kolb, who will be re-
membered by our people as the gentle
man who last summer ran .he rapids
Of the Grand river near Genwood in u
boat, making moving picture films of
the superb scenery in the Glenwood
canon, in the Shosh1ne falls and at
hanging lake, made another visit TO
Glenwood last week and in company
with our local photographer, P. J. Kir-
wan, added to his list of scenic pic
lures in the Glenwood section, few
tumbles out of the snow into our IA
nous swimming pool.
Since leaving here last summer Mr..
Kolb and his companion encountered
some very exciting experiences while
running the rapids of the Black canon
and suffered some thrilling upsets in
the Grand river rapids near Westwater,
Utah.
Mr.. Kolb has prepared an illustrated
lecture and will orally explain the
scenes depicted by 800 feet of motion
picture film. Much of the scenery
covered by this wonderful picture is
more or less familiar to our citizens of
Glenwood and therefore should prove
Of unusual interest to them. 1t will
cover Hanging lake, the rapids at sho-
shone and the canon down to Glenwooa

very thrilling picture of an upset just
above Shoshone falls. Also of the
Westwater canon upset. Mr.. Kolb 5

this canon.

After Mr.. Kolb had exhibited one
night in Montrose the Press of that
city had this to say of his entertain
ment:
Ellsworth L. Kolb's story Of his trip
through the Black canon of the Gunni-
son river and his story of the trips
from the canons above Glenwood
Springs to Grand Junction, from Delta
to Grand Junction and from Grand
Junction to Moab, Utah, as told at the
Empress theater Wednesday night, was
indeed a splendid entertainment. Mr..
Kolb succeeds as lecturer, and re,
peats it tonight. r'
The extremes were shown in marvel
ous contrast. One an enhancing pic
ture of a beautiful swimmer at Hang
lake, Colorado, "perfect girl' resid-
ing in Glenwood Springs. She has
"Anette Kellerman aspirations, and al
most the equal Of her famous figure. -
She poses in fairy-like Grecian cos
tune and then swims like rainbow
trout in the crystal waters of Hanging
lake. This is 12 miles above Glenwood.
Then Ko1b takes you to the grind
ing and crashing fury of, hundreds Of
tons of insanely mad waters in the
2,200-foot deep Black canon, water that
has fed on almost every human life that
dared try to traverse it.
The trip through this Grand canon,
while taking second place to the thrills
of the upsets in the Whitewater canons
in Utah for actual rapid shooting, takes
second place to none for wonderful, for
bidding beauty in the opinion Of tho.e
who saw the pictures. The slides are
lively and beautifully colored, grand
and awe-inspiring and educating and
show as well as any picture can tho
awfulness of the great Black canon
chasm. Mr.. Kolb describes all details
Of interest in their camp life and It Is
illustrated in the movie film very thor.
oughly. ,t
1tha picture film worth going miles
and miles to see and all who miss 1t
