...there still remained many skeptics among business men. There were some few who voiced their belief that the only training for business was acquired at a tender age with a broom on an office or factory floor. There were some others who liked to employ college men but only after someone else had "broken them in." A number conceded that a collegiate business school might impart some useful knowledge but it could not train executives. Business executives we were told, like Michel Angelos and Shakespeares, are born, not made. I remember well a question put to me, in the first...
...talking picture about a man and his mistress could be made both mature and witty is a proposition most cinema critics would deny. Yet this is such a film, directed by Hobart Henley, feelingly played by actors from the legitimate theatre.

When the curtain rolled down for the 34th time the audience wondered what Veronica had been "getting even" with- it may have been the audience...
...profit. By means of a new quick-freezing process, fresh meats have been put on the market in the packaged and branded form long associated only with cured meats (ham, bacon). Thus the U. S. housewife may now telephone her butcher, order Swift pork chops, lamb chops, and pork tender loins, all neatly wrapped in parchment or cellophane, trimmed, ready to cook. Soon available will be sliced calf liver and beef liver, and packaged legs and shoulder of lamb. Eventually planned are frozen beef steaks, roasts, etc. Most extraordinary of all will be a forthcoming packaged lamb stew, consisting...
