What can be done by voluntary cooperation, well oiled with cash, was demonstrated last week. RFC announced a loan of $92,000,000 to Wright Aeronautical Corp., which will build a new aircraft engine plant near Cincinnati, upping U. S. engine capacity by 12,000 per year. In return Wright Aeronautical Corp. guaranteed to deliver to the Army 20,115 aircraft engines in 1941-42, and gave the Army an option on 20,115 more. Wright Aeronautical Corp. presumably expects to repay a good part of the loan from profits on the orders. Mr. Knudsen's task this week...
...last week lent Wright Aeronautical Corp. $92,000,000 to build a whole new airplane engine factory near Cincinnati (see p. 77). Day before, Henry Morgenthau Jr. had authorized (for tax purposes) a five-year amortization of such plants if the land is taken on lease. Thus was cracked, perhaps broken, one of Defense expansion's chief bottlenecks-the reluctance of manufacturers to go on a long-term hook for new war-term capacity...
Proud of its culture is Cincinnati, "Queen City of the West." Part of its cultural tradition, for 20 summers, has been opera in a pavilion in the Cincinnati Zoo, where shrilling peacocks sometimes compete with the piccolos, roaring lions double in bass. Last Sunday night Bizet's Carmen opened another Zoo season. There are no great Carmens today. One of the most persistent, bouncing Italian Bruna Castagna, gave her usual interpretation of the gypsy who seduces Soldier Don José (Tenor Raoul Jobin, Metropolitan debutant of last season), then gives him what Broadway calls the brusheroo...
...Cincinnati heard another Carmen that night-on a showboat moored near the city's public dock. Captain Billy Bryant plies the Ohio River, playing melodramas straight for West Virginia hillbillies in the spring, pulling for sophisticated hisses and catcalls in Cincinnati in the summer. Raised on a showboat (his father, in his 80s, still plays in the family troupe), Captain Billy is a hard-voiced, articulate showman who wrote a book about the Bryants, sounds off on the theatre in the Sunday New York Times. He got the idea of doing Carmen long ago, when he found a Spanish...
...teacher, thrashed through the Darktown Strutters' Ball, nearly fell down at the end, won $25. Bill DeHart, gangling 15-year-old, took $15 for his wild, jitterbugging direction of Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet. By week's end, when he moved on to hold contests in Cincinnati, Sammy Kaye was ordering batons in lots of 1,000, giving them away to admirers as well as contestants, at the rate...
