Actress Helen Hayes, wife of Playwright Charles MacArthur, lately withdrew from the play Coquette, then on the road, saying: "I am going to have a baby" (TIME, Sept. 16). Producer Jed Harris ordered the play closed without notice. Five members of the cast at once demanded extra salary, said that Mr. Harris had violated the rules of Actors' Equity Association...
...Southern Pacific is neither a hospital nor a college. It is easy to understand why the gift was made.

...East, railroads run mostly East and West. Mr. Loree shaped a system of which New England is the head, the Appalachian Mountains are the backbone and Virginia the Southern extremity. Thus as he, in his dreams, stepped down the Atlantic Coast, he trod on every big Eastern Rail road toe. But the plan, however original, was regarded last week as a protest rather than as a proposal -a protest against the D. & H. being gobbled up by the giants...
