CATALINA, "THE MAGIC ISLE", ISLAND VILLA AND VILLA PARK: Season 1930
Scarce promotional piece for the Island Villa and Villa Park on Santa Catalina Island, California, which billed itself as the "largest one floor hotel in the world!"

Also provides information on the Catalina Steamship Service, ticket offices, motor transit stages, and service from the Santa Monica Bay District.
