From The Indianapolis Star, Tuesday, August 30, 1921: Leaving the Indianapolis Aerial Association Flying Field at 34th St and Emerson Av, Indianapolis Star reporter Mary E. Bostwick, in an airplane piloted by Ernest “Cutie” Cutrell, flew above Indianapolis yesterday on a mission to promote the motion picture The Man Without a Country. As the aircraft got over the center of the city, flying so low it nearly knocked the cornices off of some of the buildings, Bostwick dropped red, white, and blue toy balloons with literature and free admission tickets to the movie which had opened Sunday at the English Theater under the auspices of the Marion County council of the American Legion. The week-long showing will be used to promote the Americanism work of the Legion in Indianapolis with proceeds used to buy flags for schools in the city.
