After more than two years of earnest fact-finding and many months of laborious lawmaking, the British Government last week breathed a sigh of accomplishment. They had just passed what they believed to be holeproof legislation to replace the punctured, lately-expired Cinematograph Films...
Railroad presidents who sigh when they think of the magnificent open-field technique of Vanderbilt, Harriman, Gould and Hill, sighed again last week when Leonor Fresnel Loree, on the point of turning 80. resigned as president of Delaware & Hudson Co.
