...those institutions. To run them cost $109,244,000 in the year studied (1934). They received $107,031,000 (44.5% from taxes, 40.6% from patients, 9.3% from contributions, 5.6% from endowment and invested funds). There remained a net deficit of about $2,200,000. Part of that deficit was paid by the United Hospital Fund. Part of it just piled up like an Ally's War debt. And it would have been millions greater if the institutions had been run on a business basis, taking into account depreciation ($11,835,000), tax exemptions and free water...

An extraordinary mixture of incongruous things, of England and France in her blood, of America and England in her relationships, of the footlights and the glaciers in her activities, of conformity and contumacy in her character and tragedy and comedy in her talk...
...guillotining. Until she was 19 the Kembles had no thought of making an actress of her. Then, as a last resort to save Covent Garden from bankruptcy, her father drafted her to play Juliet. With only three weeks' rehearsal in the part, she became an overnight rage, paid off Covent Garden's ?11,000 debt in a year. When a cholera plague shortly afterwards put Covent Garden in the red again, Fanny's father took her to the U. S. on tour...
