Return of Naval aviators (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

TVL1970 said:
Family, friends, and others (see notes added to photo) greeting US Navy aviators Lt. Louis A. Kloor, Jr., Lt. Walter T. Hinton, and Stephen A. Farrell at Pennsylvania Station, New York, on January 14, 1921. Kloor, Hinton (a veteran of the Navy's Curtiss NC-4 transatlantic expedition), and Farrell crewed a US Navy hydrogen-filled free-flight balloon (BuNo A-5598) on a training flight that departed from Naval Air Station Far Rockaway, Long Island, on December 13, 1920. The intention was to land the balloon in northern New York State the following day. However, due to unexpected weather, the balloon would end up landing almost 20 miles north of Moose Factory, Ontario, near Hudson Bay, resulting in an epic story of survival and rescue taking place over two weeks in the Canadian wilderness. This brief description only barely scratches the surface of this story, and what subsequently followed. See: "Three Men In A Balloon," The Literary Digest, Vol. LXVIII No. 5, Whole Number 1606, January 29, 1921, Pages 44-48. Ordeal - Lost and facing death in a remote frozen forest - by Bob Martin Wikipedia - Walter T. Hinton (1888-1981) See also: New York Times - "Airmen's Clash Amazes Friends" - January 21, 1921 "Magic Casements" - VITAPHONE VARIETIES - OBSERVATIONS ON FILM, MUSIC & IMAGERY OF THE PAST - February 17, 2007 Here's a link to one contemporaneous photo (among others) of the occasion, belonging to the Hagley Digital Archives: Hagley Museum Digital Archives - Lammot du Pont, Jr. Aeronautical Collection - "Wives at Pennsylvania Station to Greet Naval Airmen on Their Arrival in New York" Here's another photo of the occasion in the LoC's Bain Collection: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/42867125710/

Gaaaaaah. This is gorgeous. Why on earth did they tear this down?

See the same interior in Stanley Kubrick's 1955 film, "Killer's Kiss." It is starkly beautiful.

This might be the Scotti Grand Opera Co. which toured the U.S. in 1920. See books.google.com/books?id=YjAjUeK27SMC, a brochure with lots of portraits. I think I see Willfred Pelletier fifth from right in front row.
