Most people still do not realize that unions can be sued and made to pay damages (hence the frequent demands for incorporation to "make unions responsible"). To trial in Philadelphia last week went a whopping big damage suit, big enough to break the union concerned. In Apex Hosiery Co. v. Branch No. 1, American Federation of Hosiery Workers, et al., the union, its officers and its members stand to lose a maximum of $3,515,872 in triple damages...
...almost every scene, they add the only element of color to an insipid "Wings of the Navy," currently at the Metropolitan. Built around a trite story of two brothers in a naval flying school, the picture contains little acting, a dull script, and slowly paced direction. Olivia DeHavilland, apex of the now-winged eternal triangle, has nothing to do except be ornamental; John Payne, who wins the girl from George Brent and sells the airplane (replete with wings) to the government, makes the most of an exceedingly limited role.

Daily in the dingy caucus room of the old House Office Building railroad presidents laid bare the shambles of railroad economics, railroad labor representatives snarled that labor was not to blame, should not pay the penalty.

...cold clarity of learning and the classical grandeur of the Church. At the other angle of the triangle is Dermot Francis O'Flingsley, the rebellious schoolmaster who attacks the Canon and the Church as being cruelly aloof from the pain and squalor of life. And at the apex is Brigid, the simple child who was visited by the spirit of her namesake, St. Brigid and who, dying, left the two men she loved alone in their bitterness...
...world of English portraiture may be thought of as a triangle with Mayfairish Photographer Cecil Beaton at one corner, the polished Royal portrait painters at the other, and Augustus John at the apex. Like Poet William Butler Yeats, whom he has often drawn and painted, John is a master technician with an extraordinary, romantic grasp of character. Born at Tenby in 1878 of parents variously described as Welsh or gypsy or both, he entered London's severe Slade School at 5 and quickly became the most brilliant draftsman in a shoal which included Sir John Lavery and the late...
