AIR SUPREMACY

By the middle of June it is promised the United
States will have the most extensive air service in the
world. Its air mail already surpaSses that of any
other country 1t will surpass that of any other
combination of countries.
Few Americans realize what has been accomplish
ed in ayiaion' as result Of government pioneering
The great transcOntinenta air mail line between New
York and San Francisco operated by the Post Office
Department, is proved and fixture With it
are being connected dozen big feeder lines operated
by private enterprise, running to New England, the
South Southwest and Northwest This branching
system, fed in turn by railroad mail trains, will pretty
we'll the country and will continue growing until
its facilities available in every section and every
state.
Already the east and west coasts are only day
and half apart. The northern and southern tiers
states will be only day apart The distances
will continue shortening the matter of time, every
part OF the country within the scope of the grow
ing system
This is the sort of thing that vsioned by imag-
lnatVe nen when the airplane invented-indeed,

The mail routes will be supplemented BY private

AIRDOME


AIRDOME - 1.-The Road to
Glory which opens at the Airdome
| tomorrow night is the road that
leads to glorious entertainment.
With May tIcAvoy in the leading
feminine role, this Fox Films pro-
duction of Howard Hawks original
story Is one of the most dramatic
things that has ever been put ON
the screen.
The story is based upon an un-
usual theme, showing the big part
chance plays in the moulding of hu-
man lives. Judith Allen, played by
May MeAvoy, is the central figure
of the story. She is a happy con,
tented girl when the picture opens,
with an adoring father and boy
hood sweetheart with whom she
looks forward to an idea, future.
Then chance steps in. He father
is killed by chance. She suffers an
injury by chance, which leads to
blindness. From the heights of ee-
stacy this little girl is drawn to
the depths of despair until, her
faith in everything lost, she becomes
an agnostic.
Judith, conecaling her affliction,
drives away her sweetheart rather
than let herself become a burden
upon him. Then she turns to the
burning highway-thc bright soul
soaring lights.
How this beautiful Young girl is
brought back from despair and near
destruction makes for high powered
drama and in the end il is the same
chance that saves her.
Miss Mc-Avoy gives one of the
finest performances in her brilliant
career in The Road to Glory. =
Leslie Fenton, as the sweetheart, of
tcrs another bit of evidence of his
fine dramatic qualifications. Ford
Sterling, as the father, lives up to
his name with sterling perform
ance and Rockcliffe Fellowes as the
william, makes the character one YOU
will not despise too deeply. Others
in the east are MilIa Davenport and
John MacSweenev.

story, also directed the picture.
