“Live Wire” Attempted
to Work Over Old Crisis
During the early days of the
World war the New York Sun sent
over a “live wire” to its London
office. He came to the office one
Sunday morn. No one was there.
Picking up the Observer, his eye
came across a dispatch announc¬
ing the British fleet had arrived
in the English channel with decks
cleared for action. Thoroughly ex¬
cited, he dragged the resident cor¬
respondent from bed by phone.
“My God,” he panted, “the Brit¬
ish fleet is out and there’s no one
here. The Observer carries it.”
“Say,” yawned the old-timer,
“read that head again.”
He did. It ran “From the Ob¬
server of 1814.”

TIT'HENEVER a crowd of
» » actors, producers, direc¬
tors, and writers get together
in Hollywood, the most exciting
arguments take place over
questions that can never really
be settled. Just the other night
in the Brown Derby restaurant
a group got to discussing who is
the most talked-of man in pic¬
tures just now and the argu¬
ments grew so vehement, an in¬
nocent bystander might sus¬
pect that a riot was being
planned. Instead, it was just a
general tossing of verbal bou¬
quets.
Several people think Robert Mont¬
gomery is the man of the hour. He
recently pepped up his somewhat
wilting career by jumping from
roles of society playboys to that
of the maniac killer in “Night
Must Pall.” Other nominations for
the man of the hour were David
Selznick, because he produced “A
Star Is Born,” and Darryl Zannuck
because he has made his pictures
stand for a guarantee of hilarious
entertainment.
Not since the days of the Tal
madge sisters long ago, have film
fans had of
watching sisters
climb to fame a s
screen rivals. Now
everyone is arguing
about the respective
talents of Olivia de
Haviland and Joan
Fontaine. They are
sisters, you know.
And although Olivia
had a big start, ap¬
pearing in four
Warner Brothers
pictures before Joan
went to work at
RKO, there are many who think
that by this time next year, Joan
will be well in the lead.
Mary Livingstone, who has played
such a big part in the success of
the Jack Benny radio programs, is
thinking very seriously of taking
part in a Paramount picture starring
Buddy Rogers and Shirley Ross. It
is a serious decision, because it en¬
tails having an operation on her
nose and Mary does not like hos¬
pitals or ether or knives or inactivi¬
ty or even breathing through her
mouth.

Innumerable fans have asked me
if the impressive mansion and estate
which Fredric March presents to
Janet Gaynor in the course of the
plot of “A Star Is Born” was es¬
pecially built for the picture. Others
think they recognize it as the house
once occupied by Barbara Stanwyck,
when she was married to Frank
Fay. Neither theory is correct. The
house belongs to a Los Angeles real
estate dealer and was merely rented
by the Selznick-International com¬
pany for two days.
The enterprising young Grand Na¬
tional company certainly stole a
march on the rest of the studios
when they signed Stu Erwin to a
starring contract. Since that time
“Dance, Charlie, Dance” which he
made for Warner Brothers has been
previewed and Stu has landed right
up in the thin ranks of top-notch
comedians. He has finished his first
picture for Grand National. It is
called “Small Town Boy” and every¬
one says it is a knockout.
Ever since Myrna Loy finished
“Parnell,” she has been enjoying a
Myrna Loy
mount long enough to spend a week
with her and was seized with the
inspiration to write a picture set
in the locale of Ensenada. Myrna
hopes that she can stay on there
while it is filmed but M-G-M have
a crowded program ahead for her.
ODDS AND ENDS—A little boy work¬

MAP TRANS-ATLANTIC AIR ROUTE
Pan-American, Glenn L. Martin and British Imperial Airways Are
Building Planes to Begin Commercial Service.

Comparative Distance in the Two Proposed Trans-Atlantic Routes Are Siown in the Map Above.
By WILLIAM C. UTLEY
/^“>OMMERCIAL flying on regular schedule across the Atlan
I tic ocean to Europe is expected to become a fact in the late
summer or early fall. Five years of research, experiment
and study have convinced the three prospective operators of the
two proposed routes that the time is at hand. Repeated success
in flying the wide Pacific and the blue Caribbean with the giant
clipper ships has equipped the operators with the experience
needed for flying the most important oceanic course of them all.
Pan-American airways and
rial airways (of Great Britain) have
long been making preparations for
joint operation which would involve
four round trip crossings per week.
Recently a third party, Glenn L.
Martin, announced plans of com¬
peting in the trans-Atlantic service.
Martin was the builder of most of
the great clippers now flying the
Pacific and of many of the army’s
most successful bombardment
planes over a span of 18 years.
For his service Martin has de¬
signed the largest transport flying
boat ever built. For construction
of ships of this type his Baltimore
plant, which was taxed to the limit
in the building of the Pacific clip¬
pers, is being enlarged. The type
of ship he is building for trans
Atkmtic service will carry 40 pas¬
sengers, 5,000 pounds of mail and
fuel enough for 5,000 miles of non¬
stop flying at a cruising speed of
175 miles an hour.
British Have Two Ships.
At such a rate of speed it would
be possible to make the crossing
from west to east to continental
Europe in 18 hours, and to make the
return trip, against prevailing
winds, in 21 hours. This is about
equal to the time required by lim¬
ited railroad trains between Chicago
and New York. It is faster by f#ur
full days than the Atlantic cross¬
ings of the Queen Mary and the
Normandie, the two fastest liners
afloat.
Imperial airways already has two
giant flying ships, the Cavalier and
the Caledonia, engaged in experi¬
mental flights in- preparation for the
trans-Atlantic service. Two other
ships of this, the “C” type, have
been in experimental service over
the Mediterranean for several
months; one of them not long ago
established a record of 13 hours
and 35 minutes for the 2,000 miles
from Southampton to Alexandria.
Twenty-four more type “C” ships
have been ordered. The total cost
of the fleet will approximate $10,
000,000. They are a type of trans¬
port new to the British. They are
comparable in many ways to the
Sikorsky clippers of Pan-American,
although they are somewhat small¬
er. They carry a gross weight of
36,000 pounds as against 42,000 for
the Sikorsky. They are 88 feet long,
24 feet high and have a wing span
of 114 feet. Their four Pegasus
740-horsepower engines are capable
of a top speed of 210 miles an hour
and a cruising speed of 160 to 170
miles an hour.
The plan is to use these planes
for passengers only on flights be¬
tween New York and Hamilton, Ber¬
muda; on such flights they will
carry 18 in addition to the crew.
They will be used for air mail only,
on the hop across the Atlantic to
Europe, carrying only first and sec¬
ond pilots, ship’s clerk, radio op¬
erator and steward.
Unbroken Safety Record.
Pan-American claims to be ready
to begin trans-Atlantic flying at a
moment’s notice. It has available
many crews enriched by the experi¬
ence of five years of flying over the
Caribbean sea. The route from Mi¬
ami to Panama was for years the
longest over-water hop on any of
the world’s commercial airlines.
Since the first flight was made
over this route on December 2, 1930,
the line has made two regularly
scheduled round trip flights a week.
In a total of 2,400 crossings there
has never been an incident of any
kind, and only a few hops were
canceled because of hurricanes.
Pan-American has also flown doz¬
ens of successful flights from San
Francisco to Manila. With the early
difficulties ironed out it is now pos¬
sible to extend the flights all the
way to China.
A new addition to the Martin clip¬
pers which Pan-American has in
service on its Pacific route is a
Sikorsky 42B, larger than any of the
ten Sikorsky clippers now being
flown to the West Indies and Pan¬
ama. It is larger and improved
over the earlier S42 which pioneered
the Pacific route, its gross weight
being 42,000 pounds as compared
with 38,000 pounds for the earlier
type. The wing span is 118 feet
against the old 114 feet. Top speed
of the new 42B is 201 miles an hour
and cruising speed 164; this com¬
pares with 192 and 157 for the S42.
Two Trans-Atlantic Routes.
The new clipper is standing ready
for the China run, which completes
an all-American air mail route cir¬
cling more than half the world. Air¬
line distance from New York to
Hong Kong is about 11,600 miles,
while the distance around the globe
in that latitude is some 21,000
miles. The planes beat the fastest
surface transportation between
Hong Kong and New York by 25
days, making the trip in 6V 2 days.
On the trans-Atlantic flight, two
routes will be used, the southern
route taking preference over the
northern in bad weather. They were
described by Louis Ludlow, con¬
gressman from Indiana who con¬
ducted hearings concerning the es¬
tablishment of trans - Atlantic air
mail rates:
“The distance by the Northern
route from New York to London
via Shediac, Nova Scotia, and Ire¬
land,” he explained, “is 3,418 miles.
The step-off from Newfoundland to
Ireland is a sheer distance of more
than 2,000 miles over water, with¬
out any landing places. By the
Southern route the distance from
New York to London is about 5,000
miles, but the hazard of flight is
relieved by numerous landing

Ships of This Type Will Probably Be Used on the Trans-Atlantic Route.
places. The various legs of this
flight are as follows: New York to
Bermuda, 773 miles; Bermuda to
Azores, 2,067 miles; Azores to Lis¬
bon, 1,050 miles; Lisbon to Gironde,
609 miles; Gironde to London, 500
miles; total, 4,999 miles.
“The northern route, it will be
seen, is the shorter of the two routes
by more than 1,500 miles, but the
safety factors are on the side of
the southern route, and will be un¬
til more experience has been ac¬
quired in combating storms and ice
in the high northern latitudes. Un¬
til such time, therefore, it is ex¬
pected that most of the flying will
be by the southern route, which
is safe at all seasons of the year.
The scheduled time for making the
flight by the northern route will be
between 24 and 30 hours and by
the southern route between 36 and
40 hours. When we recall that the
fastest steamships — the Queen
Mary and the Normandie—consume
4 days and 20 hours making the
trans-Atlantic trip from port to port,
we have an idea of the extent to
which the new air service will
quicken mail, passenger and ex¬
press transportation.
War Department Approves.
“Two departments of the govern¬
ment—the Post Office department
and the State department—are
deeply interested in the establish¬
ment of this trans-Atlantic air serv¬
ice,” the Indiana legislator told
members of the house. “It also is
cordially approved by the War de¬
partment, which sees nothing objec¬
tionable to it from a national de¬
fense standpoint. As an argument
against delay it is contended that it
would be in the interest of America
to close the matter at once while it
has British acquiescence.
“It is pointed out that the United
States has no way to send air mail
to Europe now, or at any time in
the future, unless Britain allows it
to get there, as the termini and
intermediate landing points are con¬
trolled by the British. This is true
as to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland
and Ireland on the northern route,
and Bermuda and the Azores on
the southern route. The Azores are
Portuguese territory, but conceded
to be under the British sphere of
influence.
“The Post Office department visu¬
alizes immediate success for the
service and a complete fulfillment
of expectations in a big way,” Lud¬
low continued. “Whether or not
its optimism is well founded re¬
mains to be seen, but certainly all
of the factors of success seem to
be in the equation. The air mail
postage rate proposed for trans-At¬
lantic mail is 25 cents per letter of
one-half ounce and 25 cents addi¬
tional for each half ounce or frac¬
tion thereof. This compares with
the existing foreign mail rate of 5
cents an ounce and 3 cents for each
additional half ounce. The service
contemplates the use of air mail all
the way from point of origin to point
of destination.
“Based on close calculation of the
prospective volume of mail, the de¬
partment preducts that at the 25
cent rate, the revenues would pay
the contractual obligations at $2 per
mile and the service would be self
sustaining from the start, which
would differentiate it very markedly
from the air service to China,
which, although it has been in op¬
eration since November 22, 1935,
still registers a big annual deficit.
Air Mail $2 a Mile.
“The picture of the trans-Atlantic
air mail that is in the minds of the
Post Office department officials vis¬
ualizes London as the funnel
through which air mail from all
over Europe will be gathered and
sent to America.
“On the other hand, New York is
visualized as the funnel through
which mail coming from the Orient,
all countries in the Western Hemi¬
sphere north of Brazil, and all of
the United States will pass on the
way to London and points in Eu¬
rope. From Hong Kong to San
Francisco is six days by the China
Clipper service; from San Francis¬
co to New York is one day by fast
plane, and from New York to Lon¬
don will be 30 hours, so that mail
from Hong Kong crossing North
America will reach London in eight
or nine days by trans-Atlantic air¬
mail.
“While the contract for carrying
the trans-Atlantic air mail at a
maximum cost of $2 a mile will be
awarded on the basis of competitive
bids, it is believed there is only one
company in America capable of ex¬
ecuting such a huge contract, and
that is the Pan-American, which
carries the mail to South America,
Alaska and China. In England a
like situation prevails, where Impe¬
rial airways, a government-subsi¬
dized concern, is' the outstanding
aviation company. It is probable
that the service would start with
the four-engine clippers that pi¬
oneered the Pacific, but testimony
before our subcommittee described
plans for constructing enormous
new ships for this trans-Atlantic
service, one of 60 tons and one of
125 tons.
“The China Clipper ships now in
operation are about 25 or 26 tons,
with a wing spread of 130 feet. The
new ships will be immensely larger.
It will be written into the contract
that all airships used in this Amer¬
ican postal service must be built
in America and that the contractor
shall employ only Americans.
“The Post Office department and
State department believe after ex¬
haustive investigations that trans
Atlantic air mail will be very profit¬
able and desirable from the stand¬
point of America.”
