YEAR-1929 paring for his big flight across the South Pole. Airmail was flown from the United States to Latin America, and in thirty-two hours a plane could fly from New York to San Francisco. Progress was definitely here. With science advancing by leaps and bounds, and with the nations of the world deceiving each other with promises of arms reduction, daily life went casually on. In the sports' world, the Philadelphia Athletics took the World Series from Chicago in five games. Bobby Jones won the U. S. Open golf title, Babe Ruth was still the great idol 3 and Gene Tunney, heavyweight champion of the world, had already retired undefeated. Big Bill Tilden was king of the tennis worldg its queen was Helen Wills Moody: and Gallant Fox was warming up for his Triple Crown year in racing. Tremendous changes were being made in the motion picture industry, where talkies were discussed as the new medium which would transplant the silent films and challenge the legitimate stage. Old heroes of the silent pictures either switched to the new technique or disappeared from the scene. Broadway saw thirty fewer produc- tions than the previous year, for, as the winter neared, unemployment spread and gloom and worry were in the air. This former happy nation now had little time for frivolity. However, the season managed to turn out such hits as Let Us Be Gay lrather ironicall, Berkeley Souare , the Pulitzer Prize winner Street Scene . and Jerome Kern's Sweet Adeline . Radio moved into big business. Huqe-salaried stars emerged as more and more talent flocked to this med- ium. Vaudeville had not long to live, but it still boasted such performers as Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, and Dick Powell. Nineteen twenty-nine marked America's hicih climb in wealth, and a crash to the darkest depths in modern history. lt was a year which bowed out the celebrated flaming youth of the roaring twenties-the sheik and the flapper. America hummed 'Singing in the Rain , but it had enough sobriety to forget isolationism and to awaken to a re- sponsibility in world affairs. And America has never stopped singing. ll P nv 1.-Z D -1 .-iv,--M E -' .'1s ! ' f 'F i Brown Bros. Somber crowds gather at the Stock Exchange during the great crash. Every wall was wet with tears.
