\T If ^HE glorious flight of Charles Lindbergh brought down from the skies new enthusiasm for good, clean, decent and daring life. He gave to every truth a living example and to every business an impetus. To this one, the movies, particularly he has brought a soaring boom.
"Lindy" has not yet signed to make a film but he has already broken all screen records. The Pathe News never made a film so much in demand as the scenes taken of him and his plane and these and other Weeklies made his slim figure and slow boyish smile intimate and beloved.
Pathe News printed 600,000 feet of positive — up to the showing of his arrival in Paris that would require about 10? hours of constant projection — about a hundred and thirteen miles of film.
Lindbergh's landing at Le Bourget preceded by but a few days his landing on every one of the 17,000 screens of this country. He achieved the suddenest as well as the greatest fame ever won, and what this industry did to spread this fame was his by well won right. He may refuse to be a movie star but he will always be in the cast of the News Weeklies.
There is something awe inspiring in this latest triumph of good in our often sordid universe and in the wholesome fashion in which the boys and girls have made him their ideal. Even those whose great days are in the past look to the miracle of Charles Lindbergh as a message to strengthen their faith and they feel with the poet Bryant — ■ "He who, from xone to 2;one, Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight, In the long way that I must tread aione Will lead my steps aright."
