PROGRAMME FOR THIS WEEK."

[BY OUR FILM CRITIC]

Hiram Hastings, played by Glenn Tryon, is a hero for a night in a

facturer, a smart hotel, and a nove! comedy which has a soap mand- aeroplane, amog i ingredients. Mr. Tryon's main appeal is his charming smile but he will have to learn the value of gesture and something of acting, before he can hope to appear in more ambitious films than this one.

Patsy Ruth Millar plays the heroine, the soap king's daughter, and is quite effec tive but not given a chance to shew what she can do.

The story is of a bumptious young man, who having taken a correspondence course in dying, and built himself a plane out of "two Fords, a ukelele, and alf piano tries to get someone to trans-Atlantic Badnee him flight. He finally manages to get. the soap king and his daughter on board his plane and with them flies to Russia, although he is ain

The machine eventually made a perfect landing. the aviators being tumultuously welcomed by an 'enor mous crowd.

Captain Kingsford Smith was carried shoulder-high and urowned with a wreath of roses.

The airmen, who were in excel- lent health, subsequently took part in a procession through the streets, being greeted with unparalleled en- thusiasm.

The Federal Government has de cided to make Kingaford Smith grant of £6,000.

Mr. Allen Hancock, the financial backer of the light, as a tribute to their success, has presented the Southern Cross to Kingsford Smith and Ulm and has discharged. all their indebtedness,

President Coolidge in a message to the Southern Cross crew states: Your brilliant and courageous pioneering has advanced the cause of aviation and strengthened the bonds between your Commonwealth and our country."
