THE SHOW WORLD Independent Newspaper, not afraid to tell the inside and outside doings of the show business; not owned or controlled by any amusement trust, and prints the news all the time. It is fair and fearless, tells the truth and “ain’t afraid.” FIVE CENTS THE COPY ISSUED 1PIDAY DATED SATIPDAY 2 THE SHOW WORLD Three Fast Daily Trains from St. Louis to The “Imp” release for Monday, July 11th, is going to make as tremendous a hit as our famous “Fruit and Flowers” Texas Oklahoma picture did. Begin to ask for it right now. It is entitled: Via “Old Heads and Young Hearts” A snappy, dainty comedy in which two old duffers want their son and daughter to wed, but disgust them with their eagerness. Finally the fathers pretend to fight and object to the wedding. And their ruse works, of course. If you don’t laugh when you see this play, you’ve got a heart that would make a cowhide look like pulp. Demand it. Begin NOW. Leaving IfThe Saloon Next Door” MORNING NOON NIGHT 9:00 A.M. 2:30 P.M. 8:25 P.M. is the name of our Thursday, July 14th, release.

I certainly had never heard of him upon my visit to the Smithsonian Institution in the fall of 2002. When I met archivist Kristine Kaske at the National Air and Space Museum Library, I had only a vague conception that my topic was early aviation in the United States. With her help, I identified Beachey as a case study worthy of exploration. She and the other archivists at the Air and Space Museum and Garber facility were indispensable in my search for primary materials on the obscure aviator. Aviation historian Carroll Gray was also extremely helpful in my search for sources on the elusive Beachey. Her own book on the aviator is forthcoming. I would like to thank my advisors, professors Paul Jefferson and Emma Lapsansky, for showing genuine interest in my topic. They challenged me to recognize the full potential of this project.
