Trivia
This 1937 silent independent movie was lost for eighty years. It only became known because of a on-line forum for movie fans. The film was discovered in the basement of the home of Richard Lyford in 2013 by his daughter. She then pursued having the film restored and released to the public. GT Recording did digital restoration. Music and video mixing was done by Clatter&Din (now Formosa Interactive Seattle). 8th Sense Productions released the movie in 2019.

Goofs
The headline in the "New York Evening Star" is: EARTHQUAKE-WORLD WIDE, and the sub-head is: Shocks Felt on Both Continents! In 1937, no newspaper would use a headline that indicates there are only two continents. The paper would have used "Two" instead of "Both".

Pretty good for an amateur production

I thought this was a pretty decent effort, given it had no budget and the cast was probably every friend the director had. Some of them even went on to actually have careers. In response to JoeB131, though, the word airliner was in use as early as 1908 and as for blood in movies, please check out "Wings" and "All Quiet on the Western Front," just to name two. Yes, by 1937, when this film was made, the Hayes Office had knocked a lot of the guts out of films, but this was an amateur production and not likely to be viewed by censors. Anyway, not a bad way to spend 49 minutes.
