ere to be shown in the ballroom. While they waited, Miss
Barrett and Gary Macklin came out of the dining room. They paused to
visit, awaiting the arrival of the director.

"I hear I missed some unusual action by staying in bed this morning,"
smiled Miss Barrett.

"It was too much action," said Charlie.

"How did you ever have the nerve to jump?" the film star asked Jane.

"It wasn't nerve," replied Jane, "it was just a case of necessity."

The director arrived and they went into the ballroom where a screen had
been erected at one end and a portable projector placed at the other.

"We're going to run through everything we've taken," explained the
director as the company, including cameramen and technicians, gathered.
Turning to the Federated Airways people, he explained, "Of course there
is no sound on the print we're running tonight. The noise of the
airplane engines will be produced in the home studio and worked into
the sound track later."

They found seats and the lights were turned off. There was no title to
precede the start of the actual picture, the first scene being of the
Cheyenne airport with the _Coast to Coast Limited_ coming in from the
west. Jane started as she recognized the familiar action which had
taken place only that Monday morning. She saw herself walking across
the concrete floor to speak to the incoming stewardess. Then she
entered the cabin and a few seconds later another stewardess walked
across the hangar.

Jane smiled for the second girl was Claudette Barrett, looking
exceedingly attractive in the uniform of a Federated Airways
stewardess. Then there was a shot of the plane taking off, and, after
that, pictures of Miss Barrett and Gary Macklin talking in the shadows
of one of the great tri-motors, several shots showing the leading man
at the controls of one of the big planes, and a number showing him in
the cockpit of the army plane which Charlie had flown that morning.

Pictures of the planes coming in at night, especially, thrilled Jane.
In the crowd scenes she saw Sue, Alice, Grace and Miss Comstock. Then
came the unforgettable scene, with Mrs. Murphy trying to make up her
mind about getting aboard the plane, and the efforts of Miss Barrett
and Gary Macklin to convince her that flying was safe. The entire group
burst into hearty laughter and the director leaned back to speak to
Miss Barrett.

"That's one of the best bits of natural comedy I've seen in years,"
Jane heard him say.
