Notes

Summary

Text from nitrate negative sleeve: Tia Juana. Bartlett. Outside the "longest bar in the world" at Tia Juana, which is thronged with Eastern tenderfeet during the summer overland vacation season, hovers the native vendor of tourist goods, and he speaks good "Engleese;" will if you desire, escort you through various back doors of the little town, especially when he sees two husky Mexican policemen, each wearing a brace of guns, extra ammunition, handcuffs, blackjacks and other implements of war, in their motor truck, which is a travell-jail, leave for manhunt or something in the outskirts of town. Miss Jean Myras, Hollywood model, trying her best not to look "professional" in picture. 1931
