With the closing of six successful Broadway productions last week and the approach of warmer weather which will later hatch out the summer's setting of girl-shows and revues.

In retrospect, some unique features of the past season could be noted...
...Angeles to Curtiss Airport five miles short of his goal. Roosevelt Field, in 15 hr. 37 min., almost an hour slower than the Lindberghs. He had alighted twice in between (the Lindberghs only once), and he was out of fuel at the end. His excuse: "I met miserable flying weather most of the way.

Last week Mexico's new idol, Col. Pablo Sidar, called "The Madman" for his nerve, set out to capture the glory that had eluded his friend Carranza. In a special Emsco monoplane bought by public subscription, Sidar and Lieut. Carlos Rovirosa would fly from Cerro Loco (Crazy Hill) 5,000 mi. to Buenos Aires, the longest nonstop flight ever attempted. Rain and winds loomed in the South. Madman Sidar...
