FLIERS IN AMERICA.
FETED AT LOS ANGELES
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6.
Sir Charles Kingsford Smith’s reception at the motion picture colony was much different from that of six years ago when he was trying to finance the “fantastic idea” of flying the Pacific. To-day he and Captain Taylor were “wined and dined” by the notables of tlie movie colony, who listened instead of laughed when Sir Charles said that before many years there would be a commercial transpacific air service, in land aeroplanes, not seaplanes. Sir Charles’s machine, Lady Southern Cross, lias remained under attachment for alleged debt, and as to-day is an election holiday, no further legal moves were ' made in the battlo to recover it. Captain Taylor is proceeding to New York, and will go on to England to join an air transport service.
