great music but what does it have to do with the 1920's news reel film?

Good stuff, including the older Ernest Tubb. Thanks for posting.

1927-

The newsreel dates from 1927 the silent era (until The Jazz Singer came out later that year) when they had a script for a local theatre employee to read. I suspect that the sound track (a broadcast from the Grand Ol' Opry TV show) was dubbed later.

Clarence Chamberlain made the first non-stop flight (non-solo) from NY to Berlin in 1927, one month after Lindbergh's solo NY to Paris, the latter's ticker tape parade (July 1927) shows that.
