NEW AIR PILOT
FOR FAIRBANKS
PLANE COMPANY
Expert Pilot from San Diego
Arrives In Seward — En
Route To Interior Town.
BENNETT HAS MADE
ABOUT 6022 FLIGHTS
Has Reputation of Being
One of the Most Conser
vative Commercial Air
men In United States
i
A. A. Bennett, licensed air pilot,
accompanied by Mrs. Bennett, pass
ed through Seward the first of the
week on their way to Fairbanks
where Mr. Bennett will be employed
in the service of the Interior airplane
company. Business has been so brisk,
it was stated, that the company for
sometime endeavored to secure the
services of Mr. Bennett, who until
leaving for Alaska, has been acting
as manager for the San Diego Air
port and Flying School.
Mr. Bennett said that during the
short period of time the San Diego
school had been in business, about
14 months, he turned out 50 students.
He disposed of the business upon
reaching the decision to come north.
The new Alaskan air pilot is a mem
ber of the Aeronautical Association.
He has been thru practically all of
the airplane mechanical schools in
the United States, in the capacity of
engineer.
All types of ships have been flown
by him since he first began flying in
1916 and it is stated during his career
in the air, he has made 6022 flights
—has never had a forced landing, nor
has he broken a wing1 or a wheel dur
ing that time. This is nothing won
derful, he remarked, for he at all
times has always made his own me
chanical and plane repairs and so,
when he took off. he knew to his own
satisfaction that everything connect
ed with the machine was in ship
shape. And again, he never took,
what might be considered, a hazard
ous chance. He is proud of the rep
utation he is known by thruout the
United States that of being the most
conservative commercial air pilots in
the business.
For many years he has always had
the desire to come to Alaska, and the
present opportunity to come to the
Territory appealed to him tremendous
ly. He believes flying in Alaska is
not only essential but practical in ev
ery sense of the word. But above all
things, careful flying must be ob
served due to the many obstacles met
with, such as lack of suitable landing
fields and weather conditions.
While Mr. Rodenbaugh, one of the
pioneers in Interior flying, was in
California some months ago, Mr. Ben
nett acted as his instructor in flying.
Mr. Rodenbaugh had already had con
siderable flying experience and need
ed little instruction, Mr. Bennett add
ed.
While in Seward waiting the de
parture of last Monday’s train for j
Fairbanks, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett spent
a day fishing in the streams near Se
ward. They were delighted with the
large number of trout caught and at
the size, one of which measured about
14 inches. Both are ardent followers
of Isaac Walton and when told of the
quantities of delicious greyling to be
caught in the streams in the Interior,
were more than anxious to be on their
way.
While in Seward they were guests
at the Hotel Sexton.

THE CONFIDENCE
MAN AT LIBERTY
“The Confidence Man,” Thomas
Meighan’s latest production, will be
shown at the Liberty theatre tonight
and tomorrow night. The story is £
crook melodrama with touches of gen
uine comedy throughout.
Meighan has always made success
es and among the bigger ones we wil
always find this type of story. “The
Miracle Man” was just such a pict
ure. Virginia Valli is leading woman
in “The Confidence Man” which is an
adaptation by Paul Sloane of the story
by L. Y. Erskine and Robert Davis.
Victor Heerman directed.
Meighan plays Dan Corcoran, fake
oil stock salesman; Laurance Wheat
is Larry Maddox, his lieutenant. Chas.
Dow Clark has the role of Godfrey
Queerit, wealthy and miserly old man
whom Corcoran is trying to get to buy
some worthless oil stock.
Helen Lindfroth, Jimmie Lapsley,
Margaret Seddon and many others
are in the strong supporting cast.
There is romance and a regenera
tive theme in this story—comedy, pa
thos and wholesomeness. And the
dramatic suspense worked up in the
final climax is terrific. It is Meighan’s
best to date.
