Night Must Fall (by Emlyn Williams; Sam H. Harris, producer) is a taut, slick study in psychopathic homicide, imported from London after a 55-week run there.

When the maid complains of pregnancy and her seducer is called on the carpet, he turns out to be Dan (Author...

To administer these important projects, the Act provided...
...pleasing to Boston-type trusts as it is irritating to other business is the Revenue Act of 1936. Specifically exempted from both income taxes and undistributed profit taxes were" mutual" trusts which pass on to their stockholders all their net income including gains from the sale of securities. Since the law's definition of mutual seems to turn on the redemption feature of the Boston-type trust, other trusts are now engaged in a three-cornered tussle with SEC and the Treasury against what they consider gross discrimination...
