Description: Zane Grey's film diary takes us to New Zealand. In heavily wooded, mountainous country, a great "yellowstone" of steaming fissures and pools and then the native Maori entertain visitors with songs and costume dancing. "The beginning of the film was interesting and attractive showing the sunset scene. The scenes were taken among the islands. The scenes showed some wooded regions, lakes, ponds, and pools. Volcanic mountain regions were shown and you travel by canoe between the islands. Various dances were displayed. The photography was good, showing some excellent cloud effects and sunset scenes. An excellent travel film. Good for Geography." J.K.W.
