...manifests" money out of nothing, the black "God" has seemed to take poker-faced delight in evading questions about his income. Since he has a good Negro lawyer, Arthur Madison, Father Divine knows well that he would be in serious trouble with the U. S. Government were he to admit, after denying it for years, that he collects cash from his followers, handles receipts from restaurants and small businesses operated in his name in Harlem. Last week a Manhattan lawyer who had been after Father Divine for months seemed about to prove him a man of property, fair game...
...brought suit against Father Divine and his lieutenant in whose name the bus was registered. A Maryland court awarded her a judgment of $6,000. Seeking to collect the money for Mrs. Bayless, Lawyer William W. Lesselbaum of Manhattan examined Father Divine and several "angels," could get none to admit that the cultist had any funds. Lawyer Lesselbaum began sleuthing. Last week in Manhattan he obtained an order to show cause why Father Divine should not be punished for contempt of court for his evasiveness and "false statements."

...Depression years by shortening its season, humble itself in a desperate tin-cup campaign.

In return the Board agreed to raise an additional $100,000, to admit Juilliard bigwigs to their council, to increase regular attendance by 10%, to append to the regular season a "popular-priced" one in which U. S. artists might air their talents and perhaps earn winter engagements...
...voice is toned down for at least half the picture to a dismal half-whisper that resembles the sound of a fly trying to crash through a screen door. It is not a great sin for such as Laughton and Korda to fail; the evil lies in refusing to admit the failure and claiming for it new heights of cinematic excellence. It must be said in justice to "Rembrandt" that costuming and photography are excellent, as they always are in Korda films, but someone should tell those who write movie blurbs that a great actor would not appreciate having...
