Description: Shows the present day appearance of the country traversed by the friars of the old missions: Mt.

The municipal buildings of Los Angeles and Hollywood, the homes of the stars, the 20th Century-Fox lot, the radio studios, and Grauman's Chinese Theatre, are viewed from a blimp. In the heart of the mission country, the Rancheros Visitadores, in traditional costumes, line up for the blessing of the Franciscan friars.
