Week End. Austin Parker, Saturday Evening Post writer, conceived this first offering of Bela Blau, Inc., prosperous and principled new producers (TIME, May 13). Among his characters he included a drunkard who, as played with strange understanding by Hugh O'Connell, is one of the season's great.

S. publisher to discover that the Tiger would write his memoirs was astute Albert Boni of Albert Charles Boni, Inc. From Paris last spring he went out to see the old gentleman.

Last week a new holding company, Emerson's Bromo Seltzer, Inc., was formed to take over Emerson Drug and the Maryland Glass Corp.

Over the company will still preside rotund, hard...
Tanager. Birdy are the trade names of many a plane. Most systematic in such nomenclature has been Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor Co., Inc., with Hawk, Sea Hawk, Falcon, Condor (all birds of prey) and Fledgling. Last week Curtiss tested a new and unusually stable biplane. It has Handley-Page wing slots in both leading and trailing edges of its wings and is to compete for the Guggenheim Fund $150,000 safety prizes. The trade name chosen for this new plane was that of the gay and visually charming Tanager...
