BRITISH AIRBOATS TOO FAST! Pick-A-Back

TROUBLE ALREADY

ON OCEAN MAIL ROUTE

Pilots Throttle Down To Speed Of American Machines

ALREADY, months before the scheme is due to begin,

trouble has arisen between the "partners" in the forthcoming Atlantic airmail services, writes the Daily Express air correspondent. The "partners" are Imperial Airways and Pan-American Airways, the British and U.S. national concerns, who have Government instruc- tions to co-operate in the project.

The cause of the trouble is that Britain has produced airmail machines with a performance so good that the Americans feel a little "left behind."

On the 790-mile New York-Bermuda joint service the British pilots have been ordered;

We recommend Robinson Crusoe to all who enjoy a Jolly chow, with plenty of rollicking nonsense, but before we drop the curtain on this preview, we must make mention of the work of George Goncha whose submarine batie, at the of King Neptune, played by Harry Close, is one of the loveliest little spectacles we have seen for a long time. Stella Best and Peggle Scot- cher, and, we hope Pat Pasco, who was unfortunately hurt recently, will be among the pupils of Gon- clinroff who will enhance the artistic merit of the production.
