AN AIRMAIL FILM.

Within a few months a regular air mail passenger service over a route on which | many lives liavo been sacrificed, and 011J which many great airmen and air women 1 have done heroic pioneering work will ho instituted. A regular service is to be established by air between London and Australia, and, eventually, New Zealand. Jn order to place on record the splendid services of such men and women as Sir Boss and Sir Keith Smith, Di Pinedo, Amy Johnson, Hook, Hinkler, Mollison and others, it has been decided to include a sequence dealing with the air mail route from Croydon to London in the film version of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith's "The Old Bus," now being produced in Sydney by Mr. Jack Percival, jlll l . There is no doubt that eventually there will be an air mail route between Sydney and New Zealand, and Sir Charles Kingsford Smith says that the ideal route was that followed by him 011 his recent flight to New Zealand, when lie took off from Gerringong Beach and landed at New Plymouth.
