CURRENT FILM RECALLS MAYFLOWER’S ADVENTURE Tlv filming of M-G-M's techni color production. "Plymouth Ad venture" showing at the Stale Theater here this week, called for tireless historical research by the studio experts. One of the most important jobs was re-creation of the Mayflower, which brought the first settlers from England in 1620 The Mayflower was an 180-ton vessel, 90-feet from stem to stern and with a beam of 25 feet. She was a three-master, her foremast and mainmast carrying square sails, and her mizzen. a latten or iore-an-aft sail. She was com manded by Christopher Jones and was manned by a crew of 30 sea | men. She carried 102 passengers I from England to America.

j The Mayflower first sailed from Southampton on Aug. 5. 1620. ac companied by the pinnace. Speed well. The latter ship sprung a leak 'and both ships turned back into Dartmouth. On August 18th. the ships again set sail and again dis- j tress signals flew from the Speed well's masthead. Both ships now put into Plymouth where the pas sengers from the Speedwell were transferred to the Mfiyflower. The Mayflower set sail on September 6th and sighted land <Capo Cod' on November 30 1620 In "Plymouth Adventre" all 102 passengers are accounted for aboard the Mayflower including the ship's crew.
