Ravaged by flood, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, is shown during the disaster that spread death and ruin. Near the bottom of this airview, the Haines-et. Bridge is standing against the Stony Creek. But as the flood surged through the business and residential sections of the town, the
Franklin-at. Bridge, shown swinging in the stream, was torn from its foundations.

By a queer freak of circumstance, nobody in the background seems to be paying any attention to King Edward of England. In reality (and most likely the camera would have showed it had it elicked any other time), the King was the cynosure of all eyes ns. he paid an unexpected visit to St. David's Day ceremony at All Hallows, Tower Hill, Longen, to celebrate the coming of age of the Welsh Guards. This regiment was raised in 1915. The King handed out feeks to the oflicere in the Tower of London as part of the ceremony, King Edward VIII is pictured in the uniform of Colonel-in-Chief of the Welsh Guards for the first time since his ascension to the throne. He carries a sword and wears his innny medals. On his arm is a mourning band in memory of his father,
the Inte King George V, of England.
They won't say yes, and they won't say no-blit friends of Jnek Onkie, bachelor film cometlian, and Venita Varden, film play- er, say the pair are planning a quick airplane dash to New York with wedding bells at the end of the voyage.
