Description: Exteriors of a Sierra Madre estate, belonging to a Catholic priest, circa 1926, and Los Angeles basin scenes. Notable scenes of a domestic worker caring for the family's dogs, and what appears to be the priest and company searching for a possible water source in a rural, desert landscape next to railroad tracks. Filmed with special attention paid to technological developments, including overhead power lines, cars, trains, and aviation.
