Also, he is building his own airport, where the air scenes will be filmed, and he has taken over an entire factory in Glendale, where the planes are being re-conditioned and made safe for the aeronautics.
Hughes’ latest gesture in establishing himself in the
front ranks of filmdom’s producers is the signing of the Paramount star, Thomas Meighan.

He is on contract, gets paid every Saturday, is married, plays a good hand of stud, likes football, golf and work and he reads O. O. McIntyre and Exhibitors Herald from cover to cover.
