...Manhattan's Town Hall stage one night last week, tucked a violin under her chin and with rare self-possession proceeded to establish herself as one of the promising prodigies of the 1935-36 season. She was Marjorie Edwards, 13, of San Jose, Calif., who traveled East for the first time last summer to play at the Berkshire Festival. This time she was back to face the test of a more formal...

All of Florida East Coast's stock was held by the Flagler estate, the only publicly-owned securities being equipment trust certificates and a small first mortgage bond issue. But in order to handle boom traffic, the road had to embark upon a development program which included double-tracking the main line from Jacksonville to Miami. Consequently $45,000,000 of bonds were marketed through J. P. Morgan & Co. Peak year for the 812-mile "Flagler System" was 1926, when gross revenues were...
