What's Up, Dock?

I recently watched Dirigible (1931). Frank Capra's early films are of interest, if sometimes a bit creaky. He worked fast and in any genre, including, such as this one, action. With Capra as Harry Cohn's main director, Columbia started the rise out of poverty row.

Anyway, this isn't a review. I just want to note that early on, one of the dirigible's contacts "Lakehurst." I guess it was the place for dirigibles to go those days. They couldn't know how chilling that word would be in a few years.
