...University's move to keep Lamont open other than its "popularity with undergraduates" since the January opening and a "general demand for use of Lamont for the Summer School." No special student fee will be assessed; the $10,000 cost will simply be added to the School's budget...
...months M-G-M had throbbed with preparations for a super-epic Quo Vadis, based on the famed Sienkiewiecz novel about Roman persecution of the early Christians. Filming was to start July 1 in Rome on a $4, 000,000-to-$5,000,000 budget, a whopper for an economy-minded industry. Already shipped from Hollywood were 125 of 150 scheduled tons of equipment, including giant generators to feed the Technicolor arc lamps. Planes had flown eight tons of armor, enough to gird a Roman army of 2,500. On Manhattan's Times Square, a huge sign ballyhooing...
Emphasizing student charities is a good idea. Each such charity will be listed as a separate item instead of receiving its funds from the Council's budget.

For example, the Council's printing this year was handled by numerous companies throughout...
...York Times Drama Critic Brooks Atkinson, who found the new four-a-day show a pale shadow of the classic two-a-day that died at the Palace in 1932. It was true that to get a new start, the proud old Palace had humbled itself with low-budget acts and no headliners. In a famed Variety phrase, the new show's hoofers, illusionists and comics were "good for the smalltime." But Variety itself, pointing to the Palace's low admission scale (55? to 95? on weekdays), gave the ghost a good chance for survival...
