...mainly slapstick, the Guild had earned it by more than a year of hard work. In that time they had gone a long way towards restoring the Metropolitan's prestige to what it was in pre-Depression years. The season beginning Dec. 21 may well end without a deficit. Those who celebrated last week* could remember the end of an era in Manhattan opera. To them belonged much of the credit for the beginning...
Many regarded Johnson's first term as almost miraculous. The box office had soared, the deficit had fallen to the lowest in four years. He had tried to build up the orchestra, encouraged the energetic if occasionally ragged American Ballet. The spring season gave hopes of being an excellent proving ground for U. S. talent.

Motor Products Corp. was founded in 1916 during Wall Street's first big boom in motor shares-a merger of five small accessory companies.

Raskob when, in 1928 after Al Smith's drubbing, in spite of a huge Democratic deficit, he opened permanent quarters in Washington, hired Press Agent Charles Michelson and set to work preparing Herbert Hoover's downfall. But there are notable differences: 1) Republicans will have difficulty in finding another Michelson, 2) John Hamilton, unlike John Raskob, has not great personal wealth with which to play...
