Stumbled on some old footage of Arches and thought I'd post it up...about a 2 minute section of the 10 minute video...
The link below is cued up, or if you want to see the whole thing, drop the ?start=167.5 off the link

Cheers
edit: maybe older? the user comments on the page say 30's and pre-WWII

Was kind of waiting for the Lone Ranger and Tonto to come riding through.

I was born in the wrong century. I would love to have been there without the drone of jet planes or automobiles. Another golden age missed, dammit..

tx for the link.
the prelinger archive is the major collection of sponsored films.
curiously, prelinger's field guide to sponsored film doesn't have an entry for "desert empire," so we can't check the date the way we normally would.
the feel (and voiceover style) are late 1930s, but that doesn't mean that the 1948 date is wrong, because that style did carry over a bit to postwar, esp. on TV and non-feature films. it's not good practice for internetarchive to fail to provide full provenance for this item, assuming that they have it.
