...responsibility for this must be squarely laid at the door of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, one of our most arbitrary and unsavory unions. Its leaders are a colorful crew, to say the least. Take Uncle Willie Bioff, for example, whose name has been connected with three labor murders, who has been charged with accepting a one hundred thousand dollar bribe, and convicted of pandering in Chicago. But the union is not only shady--it is dictatorial. Controlling all the Boston theatres except the Repertory, which now shows only movies, it forces producers to accept its inordinate demands...

Princesses and Cooks. In Biarritz, where the fashion houses Lanvin and Patou have shops, arrived last week Mme Louis Cartier to open a shop next door-her personal piece of family war work.

Delighted Comrade Browder, mistaking a lark for an eagle, began by hailing the Bill of Rights (laughter and applause), then launched into a discourse on "America and the Imperialistic...
...that he and associates (including big Halsey Stuart & Co.) be allowed to bid on Consumers' $28,500,000 bond issue. Foe of competitive bidding, Wendell Willkie had already arranged to have the issue handled by conservative Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. and Bonbright & Co., Inc., who step out one door when competitive bidders step in at another, holding that both investor and issuer are best served by honest, astute, noncompetitive handling. Since the Consumers Power stock issue is small potatoes to any underwriter, there was a shrewd suspicion that Mr. Eaton was really aiming at the bond issue (on which...
