...uncomfortable moment toward the end of TIME'S second year (when circulation reached 80,760), cash in the till shrank to $5,000, enough for only a few days' operations.

It passed and a few weeks later the preferred shareholders subscribed to another stock issue doubling the company's original capital...
International Settlement (Twentieth Century-Fox) makes a bee line to the Far East to cash in on the publicity value of the daily Sino-Japanese headlines. More worthy of note than its short-order plot are: 1) its resourceful utilization of the newsreel shots of the Shanghai bombing (TIME, Sept. 13); 2) its hopeful experiment with doll-like, undistinguished June Lang (real name: Jane Vlasek) as a beautiful-but-dumb comedian; 3) its commanding hero, 6 ft.-3 in.

This figure seemed small when U. S. Steel Corp. last week announced that it was borrowing $50,000,000 in cash from ten New York, Pittsburgh and Chicago banks for construction purposes. But this fat sum was only to complete expansion already under way. The first new financing by "Big Steel" since 1929, it was made necessary by heavy payments for arrearage on preferred stock last year and by the obligation...
...Mary Garden performed this apotheosis of the strip tease, she brought down the house. But when the teetering Swedish soprano, Goeta Ljungberg. undertook the role at Manhattan's Metropolitan in 1934, her chiffon-hung shuffling drew titters. Not only was Soprano Ljungberg a dithering dancer, she annoyed the cash customers by starting her dance costumed like a cyclone-swept handkerchief counter, finishing it fully clothed...
