...better standing as economists than Mr. Catchings, keen thinker, able writer. Few put their theories to more practical application. For in a period marked by the formation of many investment trusts none were more spectacular than Goldman, Sachs Trading Corp., Shenandoah and Blue Ridge, all Goldman, Sachs sponsored and all contributing to Mr. Catchings' reputation as a brilliant and rising man. Trading Corp. stock, issued in December 1928 at 104, opened at 109, shortly split two for one, and in August 1929 was selling at 116. Shenandoah was launched in July 1929 by the sale of one million shares...

Firefighters deployed by thousands along the Alleghenies, prayed for rain...

...Geki apparently make their appeal to Eastern lovers of blood, thunder and lurid display. Their psychology seems about as complex, to untutored Western eyes, as that of The Perils of Pauline or Shenandoah. The actors produce sobs and choked voices as easily as did the rural players of the '905 when informed that the dour gentleman in hip boots was about to foreclose the mortgage. Principal among the actors is Tokyjiro Tsutsui of Kyoto. Osaka and Nagoya, who stalks about in the dark robes of "The Shadow Man" and finally commits harakiri with a four-foot knife...
