The Scarpia was Baritone Lawrence Tibbett and it was his big chance to add another telling impersonation to his Simone Boccanegra and his Emperor Jones. But Tibbett was no great villain.

The story got around that the plane would take off without a soul inside, fly straight to Honolulu by means of a "robot" pilot and directional radio. Finally it was established that Director Vidal was only testing out a compass-a radio "homing" device which, he thought, might revolutionize long-distance flying over water.
