...Topper" with Cary Grant, Constance Bennett and Roland Young tells the story of two amusing reprobates who acquire the rather disconcerting habit of shuffling off this mortal coil at will. Mr. Grant and Miss Bennett resolve to do one good deed before they knock at the pearly gates, deciding to transform Mr. Young, America's foremost Babbit into America's number one play-boy. Combining the photographic tricks of "The Invisible Man" with a new freshness entirely its own, the film rates as tops in humor; the only adverse criticism is that perhaps "Topper" is a little too much...

New York City has agreed to spend...
...minutes and a mile farther away is the next most important landing-Floyd Bennett Field off the tip of Brooklyn. Smoother than Newark, superior in equipment and less hazardous to approach, its commercial activities are confined to a single regular passenger service-one American Airliner a day to Boston-taxi services and private flying. Third field is Port Washington, a temporary base for German and British flying boats and Bermuda Clippers. The 20-mile journey from Grand Central takes just under an hour. The great runways at Mitchell Field and the smaller ones at Miller Field, Staten Island are used...
