- In the seventh number of the Combitone picture we cross Arizona via the Apache Trail. We start from Yuma, Arizona, along the National Highway, passing the ruins of the Tonto Cliff Dwellings, and the Painted Cliffs Canyon. The Indian reservation of the Yuma Indians is interesting, and also plant life on the plains of Arizona. Hell's Hip Pocket, and the Roosevelt Lake and Dam are also glimpsed in the picture, which is an unusually interesting release.
- Some unusually fine material will be found in the 19th number of "Know America, the Land We Love." Delightful views of Fisher Peak are among the opening scenes. Kit Carson's monument also claims attention, and the views of the Spanish Peaks and the Sangre de Christo mountains will be much enjoyed by those who love the beautiful. A resume of the coal and coke industry at Trinidad, Colorado, takes up part of the reel, which closes with scenes at the immense smelter at Pueblo.
- The fourth number of the Combitone pictures, or the "Know America, the Land We Love," series, covers the state of Arizona. The Grand Canyon of the Colorado gives an opportunity for wonderful color effects, and the views of this remarkable spot displayed in this picture give a comprehensive idea of the beauties of the canyon. Other interesting features of this number are scenes on the White River Indian Reservation, the Petrified Forest, the Bottomless Pit, the remains of the homes of the ancient cliff dwellers, and the Cosinino Reservation.
- No. 12 of the Combitone series covers the southwestern portion of Texas. Among other things it shows us the second highest bridge in the world which spans the Pecos River. A new breed of Texas cattle which are a cross between the ordinary Texas cattle and the sacred cattle of India forms an interesting item and reminds us if we have forgotten that Texas is a cattle state. We also learn that the largest herd of goats in the world is to be found in Texas and numbers 17.000, and that excellent grazing grounds have been provided for them through irrigating barren lands. The shearing of the goats and other features of the industry are shown.
- Among the many interesting scenes in this picture is an ostrich farm at Chandler, Arizona.
- One of the very best of these excellent Pathe-Combitone subjects. It shows a section of marvelous beauty and at a time of the year when everyone's thoughts naturally turn to the mountains, with their snow-capped peaks find cool rushing streams.
- This number of the Combitone series is of special interest including views of Austin, Waco and Fort Worth. One of the particular points of interest shown is the stock yards at Fort Worth, which are fully illustrated. Vast beds of Bermuda onions remind one of the wealth of Texas soil.
- The release shows very interesting scenes of Galveston, the immense sea-wall that protects the city from the ravages of storm, scenes in Dallas, the largest cotton gin in the world and views of the state fairgrounds.
- This reel comprehensively and beautifully takes in the section of the United States that lies at the border. We see views of the Mimbres River, the Elephant Butte Dam and diversion dams, and some of the results of the irrigation furnished. Also have been photographed enlightening views of the city of El Paso.
- The opening number of the Combitone series of pictures, under the title of "Know America, the Land We Love," is devoted to a portion of the state of California. Views of special interest are shown in and around the cities of Santa Barbara and Pasadena. We also make with the cameraman an ascent of Mount Lowe to the Lowe Observatory. Mount Wilson and Mount Echo are also dealt with in this number.
- No. 9 of the Combitone Series covers in an intelligent manner the copper industry of Arizona where large deposits of this mineral help to increase the tremendous output of the country. The scenes of the picture show the locations of the mines, the taking out of the ore, the transportation of it to the smelter, and the actual smelting of the ore. An interesting and well-illustrated subject.
- A one-reel scenic educational release of merit. Most of the footage of the reel is devoted to instructive and beautiful scenes showing gold mining in the Cripple Creek section of Colorado. Through the agency of the camera the spectator is brought through every interesting point of a gold refinery. The latter portion of the reel is devoted to footage containing well-photographed scenic views of the same general geographical section.
- The fifth of the Combitone series of pictures appearing under the title of "Know America, the Land We Love," opens with interesting views of the arid portion of California, looking from Gold Hill. Illustrations of the trees and plants which subsist on this arid soil are shown, including the mesquite tree, and various kinds of cacti. Coming to the fruitful portion of southern California we are shown excellent illustrations of the ponderosa lemon, the grapefruit, and views of an orange plantation. The quackless duck, in other words, the muscovy, comes in for a share of attention in this picture, and also a six-horse potato digging machine. Views of Palm Canyon, and of Indian women weaving baskets are also of interest.
- One of the most entertaining and instructive numbers of the Pathe-Combitone series "Know America the Land We Love" contains views of Southeastern Texas, covering some of the important industries of the state, including lumbering, oil, shipbuilding and the raising of fox terriers. Scenes at the Sabine kennels are shown, also the oil fields and residences of Beaumont. The city of Orange, a Gulf port, with its lumber mills and ship yards, complete the picture.
- In Central Arizona wonderful facilities are afforded for the study of geology as is demonstrated in No. 8 of the Combitone series, and in the picture attention is drawn to the formation of the strata through various closeups. In this part of Arizona deep gulches and crevices abound, and mountain lions are frequently met with. Cliffs of a thousand hues and strangely carved meet the eye, and in the neighborhood of Fish Creek we are shown the road called Fish Creek grade over which the material for the construction of the Roosevelt dam was hauled. The vegetation about Fish Creek shows an abundance of cacti. Other scenes of interest are Eagle Head Rock. Arrowhead Mountain, and Geronimo cave where a bandit of that name is said to have lived. The picture closes with a beautiful view of the skyline at Fish Creek, with a remarkably realistic sky flecked with white clouds.
- An accurate and vivid description of dairy ranches as they are being conducted today in Texas. Modern methods are employed in every instance, and in viewing the film we become thoroughly alive to the fact that the influence of progress has penetrated even to the cattle country. Some splendid specimens of prize-winning Jersey cattle are shown; and it is indeed interesting to see these animals being put through a tank containing a certain solution to rid them of disease- carrying ticks. Scenes from Corpus Christi Bay complete the reel.
- A comprehensive and interesting reel. The film embraces scenes of San Antonio, including the Alamo and other interesting spots. We also see San Jose Mission and other spots in the surrounding country. There are pictures of Medina Dam, Neuva Laredo and Corpus Christi. Considerable footage is devoted to pictures of Texas' native wild animals.
- The sixth of the Combitone series presents some well-photographed and interesting views in and around San Diego. The opening scene gives a view of the city from Point Loma. Scenes in the city are also shown. An interesting feature of the picture is an illustration showing the gathering of kelp and seaweed with a specially constructed machine, for the purpose of converting it later into potash. The gathering, ginning and baling of California cotton, a long-fibered specimen which is adapted to use for the making of fabric for automobile tires, is also of interest. Scenes at the Coronado Islands, 25 miles south of San Diego, showing groups of sea lions in their native haunts, sunning themselves on the rocks, rolling off into the water and playfully plunging about are interesting.
