Best Screen Play of July (Continued from page 3) elude “ Frankenstein ’ “ Prestige’ r r “Under Cover Man”, “Hat, Coat and Glove”, and many others. O RDINARILY, July releases repre¬ sent the poorest quality of motion pictures because it is near the end of the production year, and the producers are more concerned with plans for new product. The month just ended was no exception as indicated by the ballots. While 37 pictures were released in Los Angeles in July, only 14 received one or more votes. Yet during the previous month, 22 of the 38 releases received one or more votes. It is an interesting fact, also, that of the six pictures receiving awards for the Best Screen Plays of the past two months, the screen plays of four have been written by only one writer. All of which may tend to indicate that the fewer writers concerned in a produc¬ tion, the better the writing job. Junior Guild Baseball Team U NDER the able management of Red Burger, members of The Junior Screen Actors’ Guild have organized a baseball team that to date has made a creditable showing. Up to the time of writing this item, the team has played three games, losing the first two by scores of 6 to 1, and 7 to 5, respectively, and walking away with the last game 17 to 0. Negotiations are under way at present for a home field, and when the location is decided in the next few weeks, Guild members will be notified. If you can yell, come out and support your brother members. According to Red, the Guild will have a winning ball club. If you can play ball, get in touch with Red for a tryout.
