TALKIES IN PLANE
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT
•LONDON, Dee. 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 voices 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 only 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.”
