TALKIES IN ’PLANE
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT LONDON, Dec. 15. The “Daily Telegraph’’ says: “The time is coming when passengers in long-distance aeroplanes will while away the tedium of travel watching full-length talkie programmes. An experimental demonstration was given on a six-passenger machine yesterday, and was remarkably successful, the music and voice being heard clearly above the noise of the engines. “The film was little affected by the aeroplane’s movements, a portable projector being used. It showed-a newsreel and a musical comedy, a small screen being erected behind the pilot’s cabin, involving the sacrifice of oiily one. passenger seat. “A member of the party said that if films were chosen with discretion they -would be a valuable antidote to air sickness.”
