Wonders of Nature
In offering this remarkable scenic picture of one of the most majestic and awe-inspiring water phenomena of all the West, we would emphasize strongly the fact that this subject is not an ordinary scenic picture, but an extraordinary feature picture, which, in point of everything, has never been surpassed. This picture will not merely compel the interest of your audiences, but will hold them spellbound from the first foot of the film to the last. The Twin Falls country, in southern Idaho, is remarkable for its scenic beauty. Out of the beaten paths of tourist travel, the natural beauty is conserved, and Mother Nature, unaltered by human hands, runs riot in gorgeous coloring of green vale, blue lakes and rivers, and virgin whiteness of her snowcapped mountains. The great Snake River, winding like a blue ribbon through fertile green valleys, rises in the mountains of the pictures. The Yellowstone, a rushing torrent until it reaches the Snake River basin, it rolls tumultuously through canyon walls, its course broken by a number of great falls, the greater of these being the famous Shoshone Falls and Twin Falls. Twin Falls is 184 feet high. 21 feet higher than Niagara. It derives the name from the two falls, almost identical in formation and size, and separated by a gigantic rock, creating the picturesque result shown in the photograph. The falls are between high canyon walls and to reach them one must follow a perilous path for three-quarters of a mile through the blind canyon. Shoshone Falls is even greater in size than Twin Falls. It makes a leap of 212 feet from the crest to the surface below. Other important features of this picture are the famous Perrine Cascade. Thousand Springs, Great Snowbank Spring, and other points of interest. Perrine Cascade makes a leap of more than 900 feet, creating a most spectacular and picturesque effect. A wagon trail, following the canyon, winds under the falls, and one in passing has on one side the canyon wall and on the other the crashing waters of the Perrine. Thousand Springs derive their name from the great numbers of separate springs which spring out of the mountain side, falling several hundred feet to the valley below. The Great Snowbank Spring is the largest spring in the world, bubbling up from the earth on the mountain side from an outlet some 25 feet in diameter. Photographically, this picture is superb. Our camera man, who visited these scenes in the early Summer, risked life and limb in obtaining some of the views shown in this film, and the results are better than we can explain. From an artistic point of view the film cannot be excelled.

Bridge of Spies
In 1957, lawyer James B. Donovan is recruited from his prestigious law firm to defend accused Soviet spy Rudolf Abel. It's an unenviable task in many respects. Donovan hasn't practiced criminal law since he was a prosecutor at the Nuremburg trials after World War II. Also, the strong anti-Communist mood at the time makes him a target from who think Abel should just be executed. Abel is convicted but Donovan convinces the judge to sentence him to prison, rather than execute him, as they may at some point in the future want to swap him for an American spy the Soviets might have in custody. Just such a scenario comes into play when in 1960 U-2 spy pilot Francis Gary Powers is shot down over Soviet territory and taken prisoner. Donovan is again recruited to act as the intermediary and negotiate swapping Able for the American requiring him to travel to East Berlin crossing the newly built Berlin Wall.
