UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME V NUMBER 177
GENERAL DE PINEDO PERISHES IN FLAMES AT START OF SEA HOP
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Extraordinary pictures of the famous Italian Ace's attempt to take-off from Floyd Bennett Field for a non-stop transatlantic flight to Bagdad. His huge ship, getting out of control, swerves from side to side, bumps across the field, hits a wire fence, turns over and explodes. The helpless flier is engulfed by the flames and burned beyond recognition in one of the most spectacular accidents in the history of aeronautics.
PRESIDENT SAILS FOR CAPITAL
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. -- Starting on his way to Washington after spending the summer season at his Hyde Park estate, the Chief Executive is seen in unusual pictures boarding Vincent Astor's yacht Nourmahal to begin a leisurely cruise down the coast before resuming his duties at the White House.
ACE'S ANTICS THRILL THRONGS
CHICAGO, ILL. -- Breath-taking scenes at the International Air Races as Major Ernst Udet, renowned German pilot, performs amazing sky feats high above the heads of huge crowds which tensely watch his remarkable stunts.
5 NATIONS SEEK BALLOON TITLE

TORONTO, ONT., CAN. -- Spectacular scenes as 117 men start in the fifteen-mile marathon swim held under the auspices of the Canadian National Exposition.

MISS VAN WIE WINS GOLF TITLE
HIGHLAND PARK, ILL. -- Unusual scenes at Exmoor Country Club where the young Chicagoan, representing the Beverly Country Club, defeats Helen Hicks of Inwood, N. Y., 4 up and 3 play, in the 36-hole final match of the United States Golf Association's 37th annual national tournament for women.
THE remarkable newspaper stories and photographs of General De Pinedo's death in the flaming wreckage of his airplane, striking as they were, fall far short of the motion picture story of the accident as presented in the current issue of Universal Newsreel. These pictures of the spectacular crash show every important detail of the story, from the time the plane gathers speed until it turns over and explodes. The extraordinary scenes of this event are only a few of many outstanding views to be found in every issue of Universal Newsreel. You must book Universal if you are to show the reel of proved box-office value.
