...Government controls which banned the shipment of U.S. fats & oils to Mediterranean importers. They were angry because fats & oil needs in the Middle East are being supplied by British exporters exclusively. Joint Anglo-American economic strategy and shipping shortages dictated this allocation, but the exporters still feared a sellout to shrewd British traders...
...room (TIME, Dec. 11, 1939)From the Met's first week it seemed obvious that Manhattan's third wartime opera season was going to sound very much like, and sell even better than, its second. Every performance (reflecting the current boom in Manhattan show business) was a sellout. Many foreign singers would continue to be missed.

Of three U.S. clicks in London, one-The Man Who Came to Dinner-is farce, but Claudia is semiserious, and Watch on the Rhine wholly so. Shakespeare was a sellout when John Gielgud revived Macbeth in July. Shaw has been a hit since Vivien Leigh revived The Doctor's Dilemma in March. (Winston Churchill, a Leigh fan, has seen it twice.) John Gielgud has revived Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, which is a smash, plans...
