...electrify the Knoxville Street Railroad system, mortgaged his wife's Chattanooga house for $5,000 and moved to New York. There he prospered mightily as organizer and president of Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Co., which opened the first tunnels under the Hudson River in 1908 and 1909 at a cost of $72,000,000. What he made from the tunnels has been much discussed (his own estimate: an average $50,000 a year for eleven years) but he has been a rich man ever since...
While more blanks were being printed, workers tried to get ahead on the waiting lists by applying for cars in blocs of 100 through KdF leaders. All who signed have to begin at once paying installments of five marks ($2) per week toward a car which is to cost about $400, and no interest will be paid on the weekly deposits. If 1,000,000 of Germany's workers subscribe, $104,000,000 will pour in to help build the KdF factory. Meanwhile, batches of apprentices, supplied with free board & lodging, are in training for the "high honor...

...shooting on the picture ended and 329,000 feet of film were sent to the cutting room. A finished feature picture contains 8,000. By last week, You Can't Take It With You was only about twice that size and almost in shape for its first previews. Cost of the picture so far is about ten times what Columbia paid for the story, but Producer Harry Cohn confidently expects that when it is released the first week in September, it will bring back the $2,000,000 and $1,000,000 or so besides...
