...Maturity. The biggest railroad maturity of the near future comes March 1 when $63,250,000 worth of Baltimore & Ohio bonds fall due. Last week, after several delays, the R. F. C. pledged its aid to the B. & O. It will lend the road half of the amount and bondholders will be asked to accept half in cash, half in a new 5% bond. As a special inducement to speedy deposits, bonds deposited before Dec. 22 will receive an immediate cash payment of 10%. Last week the B. & O. bonds of 1933 sold at 67 against the year...

Faithless (MGM). Having tried four times without much success to find a satisfactory vehicle for Tallulah Bankhead, whose eyelids have been compared to the fat stomachs of sunburned babies,* Paramount decided to lend her to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and see what happened. Faithless will probably leave Miss Bankhead about where she was before. She has a more full-bodied role than in Thunder Below, Tarnished Lady, My Sin and The Devil and The Deep, and a better leading man (Robert Montgomery).
