...make the real play all the more exciting, and the comedy-writer's license takes care of the rest. So we see Gordon Miller, hare-brained producer, catching hold of Leo Davis, rustic playwright, rifling his pockets, pawning his typewriter, putting him to bed on account of measles with tape-worm complications, starving him almost to death and then making him play dead besides, all because nobody has any money and it wouldn't do to be thrown out of the hotel. One of the most startling revelations in the art of welching is the way in which the troop...
...Citadel is a brilliantly bitter attack by a man in dead earnest. Says Author Cronin: The small-town English G. P.

It took the judges five minutes of rapid argument to decide that San Romani had won by a thumb. Gene Venzke...
...Nearly an hour after the opening a quotation finally appeared on the ticker-70 bid, 90 asked. After nearly another hour the first sale appeared-$73, off 30½ points. But no bid could the specialists rustle up for the 6% series until 1:30 p. m., when the tape recorded the market as 50 bid, 75 asked. The first sale...
