Many scenes in and around Williamsport will be included in a motion picture to be taken in the near future known as “Along the Susquehanna Trail.”
John F. Letton, secretary of the Williamsport Motor Club Tourist Information Bureau, which has its office in the Lycoming Hotel, has completed tentative arrangements to this effect with James W. Brooks of the American Highway Informational Bureau of Washington, D.C.
The organization of which Brooks is the head, has plans well under way for a series of motion pictures called, “Highway Travel Pictures.”
The value to Williamsport of such a conspicuous space in a film to be exhibited throughout the country cannot be denied. It is simply another instance in which an alert and aggressive organization is winning for the city and its environs a prominent and well merited place in the public eye which would be very difficult to duplicate.
It is expected that the actual “shooting” of the local picture will be started in the near future. Scenic, agricultural, industrial and historic scenes will be featured as well as “detours” to points of beauty and interest that are slightly off the path of the Susquehanna Trail itself. Mr. Brooks himself has been on the ground with the intention of selecting the material for the picture. This will provide Williamsport with visualized publicity for years to come.
