As background for a futuristic cinema it functions admirably. F. P. 1 is therefore exciting and at times interestingly realistic. Major Ellissen (Conrad Veidt) is an air hero riding the crest of his publicity. His best friend Captain Droste (Leslie Fenton) is sunk in the obscurity of an inventor's workroom. Ellissen uses his position to call attention to Droste's plan for a seadrome, persuades the Lennartz...
...arise when an entire family of spineless offspring falls under the ugly domination of a stupid, whining matriarch.

An automatic lecture on the Perseoid meteor shower which can be seen every August when the earth passes through the certain point in her orbit, will follow later in the evening. The meteors are called Perseoids, because they appear to come from the direction of the constellation, Perseus, which forms with Andromeda, an over lasting dramatic picture in the skies. In November, the earth passes through another belt and is bombarded...
TIME printed a thoroughgoing appraisal of the Century of Progress and its organizers a week before it officially opened (TIME, May 22), has since mentioned its art exhibit (TIME, May 29), music (TIME, June 19), ballyhoo (TIME, June 26), reception of Italy's air armada (TIME, July 24).
