Summary
Pathe synopsis: Hollywood, San Francisco, Monterey and the sunshine coast of California. Pathe Pictorial takes you on a breathless tour of America’s most exciting state, whose population is increasing by half-a-million every year. Sail at Long Beach, or drive on the great thruways and turnpikes in Los Angeles. See Beverley Hills where the films stars live or linger in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Drink in the colour and contrasts of a coastline where a hilarious tour of a big film studio shows stunt men at work and the big cameras in exciting action round a church they have set alight. See California - with its extravagance and wild improbabilities.
