Movie Tone News - A New Investment in Motion Pictures

In 19 27, fox movie tone news scored an early coup by producing a sound news reel of charles linberg's takeoff from ros velt field on long island. It was shown at the roxy theatre in new york city later that very same day. Soon after came fox movietone news reals of lindburg's triumphant return to the united states following the completion of his flight. The lyndburg news reals were received almost as enthusiastically linberg himself, and this helped to put sound films on the map.
