Watch 'first inflight movie' on utube.
That's this old man's idea of inflight entertainment, a 35mm projector being hauled aboard a passenger biplane to watch 'The Lost World' from the comfort of your wicker seat!
They don't make 'em like that anymore!
Praps just as well some might say...

Good heavens! I wonder how much that projector weighed down the plane!

Was this during that age of lots of lady dancers on the wings and all?
