...Fans Are Different. For nine months of the year, except for occasional forays with Hope, Les & Co. are set as solid as cement in Los Angeles. The take, including record royalties, is $350,000 a year. The musicians, most of whom have been with Les five to ten years, earn around $10,000 apiece, and are settled family men with permanent homes around Los Angeles. This gives the Band of Renown a respectable pipe & slippers atmosphere, in contrast to the breathless, upper-berth days of the middle '30s, when Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey and Jimmie Lunceford rocketed around...

In 1951, the Federal Government alone paid $25 million for rental of its machines. The Government wants to force I.B.M. to give the users the option to buy machines or lease them on a nonrestrictive basis...
...line is Gertie herself, the youngest member of the family, who has decided that her vocation in life is Sex, and is determined to make the most of it. The remainder of the Ritchie family are equally gifted, but in intellectual fields (where their qualities are less likely to earn a living). Gertie finally gets her opportunity for success in life by the simple expedient of seducing an American movie producer. Glynis Johns plays the part to perfection; she is alternately naive and ingenuously frank, and it is not till the end of the play that one realizes her immense...
