...will be that he has already won it twice before. Known for his knack of inventing "business," Director Capra was faced with the supreme test in a play that was already as full of business as a beehive. How thoroughly he passed it can best be judged by the fact that his shrewd cinema editing helps more than anything else to achieve the paradox of making Vanderhofs and Sycamores on the screen seem more like flesh and blood than they did on the legitimate stage. Examples: Grandpa's friends taking up a collection to pay his fine in court...

Their students include college graduates as well as men and women who never went to high school. In its first six months, National Educational Alliance...
More interesting to a few close followers of Federal Reserve figures last week was the fact that since June 15 the Board had not broken down commercial loans by collateral. It used to state each week how many loans were secured by securities, how many by other property, or unsecured. To analysts of the figures this seemed most important, for if volume of commercial loans against securities was heavy (it sometimes ran more than 50% of the total) the indication was that the borrowing was not so much for commercial purposes as a mere hocking of securities to carry inventories...
