Arthur (Art) Cortez Bussy Jr. was from the town of Arena, NY, a part of Middletown, NY. His father, Arthur C. Bussy Sr, was a salesman in a feed store, according to the NY Census of 1925. Art Jr. was listed as being a college student. As we know from the Garnet of 1922 (found on ancestry.com), he attended Union College, class of 1924, and was a member of the college band. By 1930 he was married to Elizabeth and had a 14-month old son, Richard.
Art is an interesting person because he went on to become a pilot, and was known for air racing in the 1930s. Below is a picture of Art Bussy in the December 1939 edition of Popular Science, sporting the oxygen mask he invented for himself. Following that is the story of the plane he flew in the Bendix race. (I know John will enjoy reading about that).
The movie Stanford, Hanford and Art saw, Passion, was a foreign film that came out that year in theaters. Below is a review by Carl Sandburg, noted poet, published in May of 1921, taken from the book, The Movies Are, a collection of movie reviews by Carl Sandburg:
