...been a fast, hard worker, he could not have satisfied the quick public demand for his pretty women and his quietly satirical drawings of society life. By the time he was 25, he was the most sought-after black-&-white artist in the U.S. His fattest contract came in 1893, when Collier's agreed to pay $100,000 for 100 drawings...
...Donald Douglas sat down in the Wings Club in Manhattan with the presidents of three airlines. Panagra's Harold J. Roig, American Airlines' A. N. Kemp and United Air Lines' W. A. Patterson. When Planemaker Douglas left, 12 minutes later, he had in his pocket the fattest airline contracts ever placed in the U.S. aircraft industry. The contracts gave Douglas the job of building 93 four-engined airliners, more than $50,000,000 worth, for postwar delivery...
Brest. Saint-Nazaire, Lorient were the fattest of the prizes now within his grasp. Brest (pop. 74,000) and Saint-Nazaire (42,000) were deep-water ports the Americans sorely needed. They had been there before-in 1917 and 1918. From Saint-Nazaire's riverside wharves a vast flow of heavy material had been run to the front over a U.S.-built railroad 27 years ago. At Brest many a U.S. division had poured ashore. At least two of those divisions-the 4th and the 79th-were close to Brest again this week...
...Good Neighbor policy, the British overlooked one fact. It is mainly through this same policy that Brazil is able to resume interest payments at all. Because of Lend-Lease, and the resulting purchase by the U.S. of vast stores of raw materials, Brazil's pocketbook is the fattest in years. As many U.S. moneymen pointed out, the plan is better than any which Britain has thus far secured. No matter what its drawbacks, the plan promises to put interest payments to U.S. and British bondholders, even if reduced, on a reasonably permanent basis...
Veronica Lake (with her hair up) makes a good deal of her short, tense visit to the film. Claudette Colbert most successfully sidetracks her prettiness for the more urgent priority of suggesting an exhausted young woman in coveralls. Paulette Goddard is easy to like in the fattest role in the film. She has a comic warmth and bounce reminiscent of the late Jean Harlow..Even easier to like is 4F (but outwardly rugged) Sonny Tufts, whose stumbling hands and voice develop wrinkles in the comedy of inarticulate love-making which are likely to become official among female cinemaudiences...
