...Ghost of Yankee Doodle (by Sidney Howard; produced by Theatre Guild. Inc.). Though more and more social problem plays invade the Manhattan stage, few are good, none great, for good plays are written by gagmen, poets, wits, fakers but not by ax-grinders. Audiences still like Shaw and Ibsen, not for their lectures on social reform, but for their conceits, paradoxes, taut drama. Last week, in a muddled play that brought a famed U. S. actress out of retirement, this perennial fact was underscored again...
...propaganda, it is a privately-conceived and financed attempt by New York businessmen to drum up new trade. Inspired by the success in this respect of the Chicago A Century of Progress in 1933-34, 118 leading New Yorkers in 1935 formed New York World's Fair 1939 Inc., a nonprofit, nonstock corporation whose officers get no remuneration. New York City is crashing through with about $25,000,000, New York State with $10,000,000, but this is not a subsidy, for a large part of the money is being spent in basic improvements and reclamation...

Block, likes to assert that lanital will do to the wool business what rayon had done to the silk. U. S. woolmen, absorbed with more immediate troubles (see p. 75) last week produced no retort to this other than the findings year and half ago published...
Schulte Retail Stores Corp. has had its ups & downs-or more precisely, one up & one down. It controls Huyler's as well as the 268 Schulte shops mostly on U. S. street corners. President David Albert Schulte is also president of Dunhill International, Inc. and with associates controls Park & Tilford. In 1926 Schulte Retail earned over $6,000,000 on total assets of a little more than $40,000,000. And yet in 1936, though its customers were smoking more furiously than ever, Schulte Retail Stores filed for reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act. Reason was Mr. Schulte...
...Board of Directors of Standard Brands, Inc. has never had a chairman. When the office was created last week everyone knew who would fill it: Joseph Wilshire, president since 1929 when Fleischmann Co. was merged with E. W. Gillett Co., Ltd. and Royal Baking Powder Co. Upped to the presidency was Thomas L. Smith...
