AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

".America the Beautiful" a motion
picture of Americas wild beauty,
snow-mangled peaks, rugged ranges,
green valleys, rushing streams,
broad rivers, lakes, plains of wav-
ing grain, farms, towns and cities,
was shown Tuesday at the weekly
meeting of the Rotary club in lieu
of the customary speaking program.
1t was produced by Warner Bros.
Pictures, Inc, for the U. S. treas
ury department to promote the sale
and retention of victory bonds. 1t
was presented here by Ken Peterson,
sales promotion, retail, of Standard
Oil company, Billings, and Harry
Llewellyn, sales promotion, whole
sale.
The title is the same as the song
that during the war became almost
a national anthem. The words of
the song were written in the sum-
mer of 1893 by Katherine Lee Bates
upon her return from her first trip
to the summit of Pixies Peak in
Colorado. The lines were inspired
by the view of spacious skies" and
"purple mountain ~majesties." They
were first printed in a magazine of
July a, 1895, and were soon after
set to music. They have been sung
to many tunes, but "Materna" by
Samuel A. Ward is at present the
tune most often used.
The motion picture shown here
Tuesday by Peterson and Llewellyn
included views of Pixies Peak as
we'll as other western mountain
grandeurs, eastern and western sea
coasts, timbered areas, wheat fields,
mines, steel mills, factories, fishing
and sports.
The film occupied about 20 min
utes. The exhibitors were intro
duced by Stuart Johnson.
