This means that 3,000 shares of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer were sold at $54.50 per share, and 300 shares of Emerson Radio & Phonograph (ERP) at $14.87½ (in 100-share lots the zeros are always omitted). When the tape is one minute late, the first digit is dropped from the price of the sale to speed up transmission, e.g., the M-G-M notation would read 3000s4½. When three minutes behind, the last two digits of the number of shares traded are also dropped, so that the tape would read 30s4½. When five minutes late, another sending machine...
Brice studied at Manhattan's Art Students League and at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. In 1942, he got a job with M-G-M designing sets and decorating them with synthetic "masterpieces." Metro was unculturedly demanding. "If you painted some predominantly blue Cezannes on Tuesday and they turned out all right," he recalls, "somebody would give you another order on Thursday for, say, a Rembrandt, only he'd say, 'Do it in'blue, like that other...

M-G-M simply pinned back the Gable flappers with adhesive tape, and cast him in The Painted Desert. As Gable rose toward his coronation as The King-a ceremony actually performed in 1937 by Spencer Tracy with a cardboard crown-he shed the tape...
...experience, and the partners have it. Both Hanna, 50, who was born in New Mexico and raised in Los Angeles, and Barbera, 47, who was born and raised in Brooklyn, had drifted among the big-time animation mills-Terry Toons, Looney Toons, Merry Melodies-before they came together at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1937. There they created the most exciting mano a mano in the history of film cartoons-matchless Tom and Jerry. For 18 years they manipulated the big cat and the little mouse for MGM's critical and financial profit, year after year sat mousily at home...
