The disaster followed rather closely a casualty to the British flying-boat Centurion the Hoogly when landing at Calcutta on June 12 and the crashing of the Eving-boat Challenger while alighting off Mozambique, in Por- tuguese East Africa, on May 1 These three craft represent, in the aggregate, insured values of about £150,000.

It is one of the characteristics of developments in commercial aviation that the values of in- dividual craft tend to increase, but that, as the number of the very costly craft is limited, one or two serious casualties may disturb an underwriting account.

"SAILING ALONG”

AT MAJESTIC The gayest and most ambitious "of all of Jessle Matthews' musicals, "Sailing Along." opens to-day at the Majestic Theatre. This "new vehicle for the dancing star të s sprightly affair, well set to catchy music, and boasts an unusually splendid cast. It has the Holly- wood finish, must have been ex- pensive to make, and amply justi- Res the expense. All in all, it's swell entertainment.

Departing from the usual form- ula for musicals, Balling Along" reveals Jessie as the dancing daughter of a barge-master, born and bred on the river, capable of taking a tum at the wheel, splic ing a stay, or climbing aloft with the best of the crew Roland young is very much in evidence as the eccentric millionaire whose hobby it is to discover geniuses.

dance numbers are elaborate and original; the settings, natural and studio, quite breath-takt Gaumont has really done itself proud on this one.
