Schine reluctantly admits that all his hotels are booming, but will not tell how big the boom is. And he figures that his first venture in the West was a good buy. The Ambassador was making plenty of money (1945 net before taxes and bond payments: $1,279,000). Out of profits, its bonded indebtedness had gradually been reduced from $5,800,000 to $3,700,000. Technically, Schine still lacks full control of the Ambassador. Said one California financier: "All Schine bought is the first place in line." But it was really more than that. Schine...
...American literary life? But important though this question may be, it is to many practical observers secondary to the still-unanswered, fundamental issue--that of whether Wallace's common men will come to the support of this new venture in enough numbers to make his voice a weekly boom in their behalf...

In Texas last week, 12,000 people heard the rising young San Antonio Symphony, 4,000 the recently reorganized Dallas Symphony. The Oklahoma City Symphony played to the largest audience (5,000) in its history. The Columbus Philharmonic, which grew from semiprofessional to professional rank this season, made $1,800 profit on one pop concert. Radios and records have sharpened U.S. ears for symphony; they have also forced local orchestras to raise their standards...
