...Columbia group)- they put out eight different labels at prices from $2 to 25? a disc. Last week this comfortable industrial balance was altered as an independent producer prepared to bring two more labels into U. S. music shops. Irving Mills, music publisher, band manager and a power in Tin Pan Alley, was getting ready to offer the trade his Master Records (75?) and Variety Records (35?). American Record Co. was furnishing the technical facilities and distribution for the expected 75 titles a month of Mr. Mills's recordings...
...good guesses on U. S. can statistics but official sales figures have always been a dark secret. American Can got an injunction against SEC to prevent release of its old data but finally capitulated in its 1936 report, out last fortnight.

Crown is also developing an aluminum plated can, supposedly cheaper than tin cans, which are sheet steel plated...
...life of Kerry (Henry Fonda). When Kerry swaps Marie six nags for Wings of the Morning, the gypsies make her go and beg her bargain back. What makes the scene confusing for Marie is that she still has on trousers, and that Kerry is bathing in a small tin tub; Sex, however, is established on its conventional lines by the time Kerry's Destiny Bay runs against Marie's Wings in the Derby. Her Spanish fiancé, Diego (Teddy Underdown), has claimed her and she would have married him if he had not renounced her when it seemed...
