Manhattan Waterfront Travelogue by Van Beuren Studios
I found this interesting bit of history on archive.org. Van Beuren studios are perhaps more well known for their early work in animation.

Howard Hillman's Wonders of the World
I actually thought that it was a pretty good list but I wonder who wrote the tagline 'by Howard Hillman - the World's Leading Wonder Authority.' Is there stiff competition for this title? By which authority does he claim this? His own?
Anyway, it's a fairly standard list with a few surprises and I can't really argue with the guy - although I could probably come up with a list very similar and call myself the world's SECOND leading wonder authority.

Trip To the Yellowstone (1937 Home Movie - Reel #1)
Watch the Kelly family drink Coca-Cola (wow, it must have not been that easy to get back then!), stay at the Hotel Martin, visit the Badlands (in color), fornicate - oh wait (there is none of that), visit a touristy Indian village, visit Mount Rushmore, and lots more. Silent but kind of fun to watch if you are into vintage Americana.
