...vagrant hurricane at length skirted the southern tip of Florida, blew down grapefruit trees, electric lines, a few buildings. Three Floridans were electrocuted by downed wires. Then it veered northwest. While relieved Miamians took down their barricades, cowering residents of Pensacola and Mobile frantically prepared for the worst...
Flight (Columbia). Daredevil marines at the airbase at Pensacola, Fla., and perfect synchronization of dialog and martial sounds make this a very exciting picture. The illusion of reality is strong when the theatre reverberates with roaring airplanes, staccato machine guns. Ralph Graves is a vacillating, blundering flyer who girds up his loins to win Lila Lee. Jack Holt, somewhat aged since his svelte days with the cinema mounted police, is a tough sergeant. Into the picture creeps propaganda about the U.

Damn! The other night Newspaperman James Hoeck, until recently of Shanghai, Canton, Peking; Richard Kerley, until recently of Memphis, and F. von Falkenberg, until recently of Palm Beach, Pensacola, Tallahassee-all sitting in the back room of a heimgemacht establishment joyfully guzzling brew, discussing Einstein, Nietzsche, Women, Words, TIME...

Third to be launched of the eight 10,000-ton cruisers authorized in 1924 (the first two: Salt Lake City, Pensacola), the Chester set a record for laying-launching time-one year, 59 days. Scheduled for completion by June 1, 1930, she typifies the long-range U. S. fighting craft which is most objectionable to Great Britain...
...Flying Fleet (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). A lieutenant-commander (retired) in the U. S. Navy, one Frank Wead, wrote this script showing how naval aviators are made-Annapolis, then round-the-world cruise, then training school at Pensacola. Anita Page falls from an aquaplane into the plot. This air-photography is good, but Wings was better. The final sequence, in which one pilot dives at another on the field and afterwards rescues him when his plane falls into the Pacific, is about as true to life as a recruiting poster. The sallow aviator is Ramon Novarro...
