Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: TOM Sopwith Arrives Home. DESCRIPTION: Mr and Mrs Sopwith arrives home on the "Aquitania", and Mr Sopwith speaks to Movietone. SHOTLIST: CU Mr and Mrs Sopwith and Mr Sopwith speaks of crew. Speech: "We are very glad to be back again, we have left many kind friends in America and we are most grateful to the American Public for the very sincere affection that they have shown us during the whole time we were over there. Their reception was quite overwhelming in spite of not being able to see eye to eye with the New York Yacht Club over the interpretation of some of their rules. I hope that we shall be able to reach agreement within the near future."
