Descriptions

This city by the inland salt sea makes a novel subject for the motion picture devotee who wishes to combine knowledge with pleasure. Salt Lake City is beautifully located at the base of the high mountains that almost encircle it and one is given a complete and thorough view of the surrounding country from Immigration to Cottonwood Canyon, from the bathers in the Salt Lake to that masterpiece of Western architecture, the Mormon Temple, which lies in the very heart of the city.

The photography of this film is markedly in contrast with that in the very recent Edison, 'Yellowstone,' picture. The operators complained of the former; they are praising the clearness and good focus of this. It is a very interesting picture.
