...theatres of all kinds, mostly scattered along the eastern seaboard from Skowhegan, Me., to Arden, Del. By last year there were 145. This year, Variety (which callously calls the summer theatre the "straw-hat stage," summer theatre actors "hayfoots" and "silo stagers"), lists 150.

Class A companies, of which there were 35 last year, 62 this, must...

Presumably Lorillard Co. executives, who in 1926 had spent $15,000,000 to launch Old Gold, breathed easier with Mac's death. Much of the tobacco industry laid Philip Morris...
