...dumps. Last week, as Nazi bombers swarmed over London, theatrical tills rang loudly again. Going strong were revivals like the Devil's Disciple with Robert Donat, Dear Octopus with aging Marie Tempest. Viewed tepidly by critics, cheered loudly by audiences was Clare Boothe's anti-Nazi comedy Margin for Error, which opened a fortnight ago. Most popular of the musicals was Shepherd's Pie, which after ten months was still turning customers away. Included in the show is a pageant involving Elizabeth, Drake, and a handful of courtiers. Says Elizabeth at the end of the show...
...revival is Defense, which, with its promise of a heavy industrial electric load, has made the utilities more capacity-conscious than ever. G. E. now wonders how long its own capacity (especially in skilled labor) will hold out. Meanwhile, these tailor-made jobs yield G. E. a handsome profit margin. So confident were G. E.'s new chairman and president, 40-year-old Philip Dunham Reed and 53-year-old Charles Edward Wilson, last week, that they boldly confronted the one big licking G. E. may have to take-a licking also attributable to war. This...
...gold. If she shipped that here, she would add to our surplus, embarrass us. Instead, she will help us put gold back into circulation by putting her $2,000,000,000 fund into a new European-American ("Schachtian") Bank of Intercontinental Settlements. Protected by this margin, the U. S. can then lend Germany, says Westrick, about $5,000,000,000 in gold. This would come back in payment for German purchases throughout the Hemisphere...
...Wall Street panic. Down another eight points went the Dow-Jones average of 30 industrials to 114.75. Volume of stocks dumped totaled 10,370,000 shares, against over 17,000,000 shares moved during panic week 1 (TIME, May 27). One reason why the panic slowed down: most shoestring margin accounts, many small, outright holders, were already sold out. Furthermore, bargain hunters held off in the hope that stocks like Bethlehem Steel might soon be given away closer to 40 (when the $3.75 it has paid in the last twelve months would promise a 9.4% return) than to last week...
With the act of childbirth Emily reaches the last life experience known to the villagers. She lives through one more they do not have. In giving birth she nearly dies. As she wavers along the margin of life, Emily comes to the graveyard, sees the village dead, just as they looked in Grover's Corners. They stand in rows, quietly waiting for her. But the tug of Our Town, of life, is too strong. Emily leaves the graveyard, bringing a new life with her. Since there is no further experience for anybody in Our Town or anywhere else...
