Having Wonderful Time (by Arthur Kober; Marc Connelly, producer), the season's pleasantest institutional drama, is laid in one of the numerous cheap summer camps for New York Jews which dot the Berkshires. Those who have not visited such a resort as Camp Kare-Free may already be familiar with the nature of its patrons through Arthur Kober's piteous, humorous, sharply observed New Yorker reports, collected in book form as Thunder over The Bronx, on the year-round behavior of one-sixth of New York City's population...

...patents expired in 1923, Hoskins received large royalties from heating appliance manufacturers. Expansion of the electric appliance field, how ever, more than compensated for lost royalties. With total assets of less than $2,000,000, Hoskins last year made $429,000. Slow-spoken, tousled, deliberate, Metalman Marsh wears polka-dot ties, is rarely without a cigar. Before last week he had never received scientific kudos. Never plagued by labor troubles at the Hoskins plant, he worked out an employe compensation plan 13 years ago whereby a generous slice of profits is distributed to his 200 workers every year. Many...
