...Chicago, the blight had fallen on Herbert J. Robinson, "The Angel of Broadway," who expanded into four stores after the war with the slogan: "The Angel is spreading his wings." Last week Robinson had a new slogan: "The Angel's wings are clipped." To stir up business, he planned to send airplanes up over Chicago's ballparks, scattering $10 credit slips through the crowds. Elsewhere, other dealers had tried similar stunts in vain. Manhattan's Herman & Ross offered free television sets "with the next 25 cars we sell"-but sold none. Seven Dallas dealers lured...

...Woman's Causes.

Its only impetus has come from a stubbornly stagestruck millionaire named Anthony Brady Farrell, an angel with the largest wingspread ever seen on Broadway.* In the year since Farrell took a leave from his Albany chain factory, he has spent more than $2,000,000 plunging where others fear to tread...
That could be fixed. Angel Farrell paid a lump-sum $1,300,000 for the Warner Theater ("a cash deal is best") and closed Hold It! until he could reopen it in his own property. He shelled out $200,000 to make the house the town's plushiest and, with its silk-damasked walls, probably the gaudiest. When contractual snarls developed over transplanting Hold It!, Farrell switched from musicomedy to revue, signed up Comics Bert Wheeler and Paul and Grace Hartman, tossed in another $250,000 and put on All for Love. It was a critical flop...
