...before they had been invited for dinner, were just in time to be carted off to jail when the fireworks in the basement exploded prematurely. Unimpeded by the restrictions of the stage, the camera follows the party to jail, then into court, then into the newspapers, then into a board meeting at the Kirby bank in a series of scenes which lifts the feud between the Kirbys and the Vanderhofs to the plane of that between the Montagues and Capulets. By the time Grandpa Vanderhof and Banker Kirby (Edward Arnold) eventually symbolize their inevitable meeting of minds by sitting down...
Despite unobstructed approaches and broad, long runways (ranging from 3,600 to 6,000 ft.), North Beach has one feature the Civil Aeronautics Authority's safety board may not like-a blind landing runway separated by only 200 feet from the flanking water of Flushing Bay.

Remarked the Museum Board's portly president, Architect Louis La Beaume: "There has been nothing like this since the monkey trial at Dayton, Tenn...
More interesting to a few close followers of Federal Reserve figures last week was the fact that since June 15 the Board had not broken down commercial loans by collateral. It used to state each week how many loans were secured by securities, how many by other property, or unsecured. To analysts of the figures this seemed most important, for if volume of commercial loans against securities was heavy (it sometimes ran more than 50% of the total) the indication was that the borrowing was not so much for commercial purposes as a mere hocking of securities to carry inventories...
