...most ingenious and costliest ($27,000) of them all. Lit by 4,000 feet of neon tubing and 4,104 electric bulbs that flash off & on under photo-electric impulses, the advertisement, designed by Cartoonist Otto Soglow, runs steadily for five minutes, automatically repeats itself, resembles a Walt Disney cinema short. The cartoon shows two elflike characters making love, smoking cigarets, blowing smoke rings ; it will have a different theme every two months. Located at 43rd Street and Broadway, it is a half-block long, two-and-a-half stories high, uses electricity sufficient to illuminate a city...
Among her U. S. admirers, the most ardent was a 13-year-old Brooklyn boy named Walt Whitman, who testified that "nothing finer did any stage ever exhibit-and my boyish heart and head felt it in every minute cell."

For 1937, the corporation's net income totaled $1,821,166, a drop of over $600,000 from the previous year. On picture production it lost $236,909, made most of its profit from its theatre chain...
...four post is hotly contested between Alex Whitman '41 and Walt Reed '41. When Elbert Moffat broke his rib at number four on the Freshman Firsts, Reed moved in to take his place. After Moffat returned last week Reed was shifted to starboard where he became a throat to Whitman who has been rowing number three oar consistently all year. Because Moffat's position is practically assured, one of these other men will move down to the combination post...
