Among the members are included secretaries, script girls, page and mimeograph boys, and men from the Insert, Transportation, Film Loading, Crip and Janitor departments. Out of the twenty members registered, the following nine attended the first meeting, held Thursday night, May 20: Prudence Anderson, I dele Berkson, Muriel Bermudez, Isidor Besbeck, Jack Chandler, Henry Cuttman, Gladys Landers, Jean Mitchell and Ruby Thurnherr. Plans for future operation were discussed and Ruby Thurnherr was elected chairman of the group. It was decided to have members submit their plays, screen material, short stories and literary articles directly to Miss Thurnherr, who then will arrange programs from the material received. It is planned to have an open forum discussion, with suggestions for improvement and revision of work. Authors’ names will not be disclosed until after their material has been read and criticized, or until after revision is made, if they so desire. All story ideas will be kept very confidential by the group and only those with a vital interest in the work are encouraged to attend. It has been suggested that writers protect their interests by mailing a copy of their material to themselves before submitting it to Miss Thurnheerr, who may be reached at Station 424. For the present, the group plans to meet every two weeks. The next meeting will be held on Thursday night, June 3, at 7 o’clock in Projection Room 6-A, located in the new cutting building. • CAMERA CLUB PRESIDENT WINS AGAIN — Twice in succession, Ralph Townsend, President of the Camera Club, has run away with the honors. His print, “A Bit of Algeria,” appears in this issue, for first place in the May competition awarded by Mr. Julius Cindrich, past president of the Los Angeles Camera Club, who acted as judge. The nine other awards for the month went to: Ralph Townsend, James Gibney, Glenn Beer, Fred Warrington, Joe Aiken, Ben Berg, Fred Warrington, Glenn Beer and E. L. Grant. Prize winning prints in the March and April competitions, recently shown at Harry Champlin’s camera shop in Beverly Hills, were well received. Members are invited to submit prints to ‘‘The Bridge,” the national Credit Union magazine, for publication in its kodak section. Please contact the Studio Club Secretary if you have anything to submit. The subject for the June competition, to be held on the 16th, is "Nature and Wild Life.” Everyone with an interest in photography, no matter how limited their knowledge, is invited to attend meetings and submit prints. The next meeting of the club will be held on Wednesday, June 2, at 8 p.m. in Projection Room 5, Sound Building. • BARNEY GOES TO BAT— Because the Studio Club donated a dozen balls and bats to the baseball team, Barney Wolf, "father” of the team who usually stands most of the expense in connection with the boys’ pastime, sends the club this note: "I want to express my thanks to the entire club committee for the generous donation of bats and baseballs which we received. I hope the baseball team finds many base-hits in these new bats. “Thanks again. BARNEY WOLF.” Thank you, Barney. The baseball team and the Cutting Department both bat 100% with the club, too.
