Credit Where Credit Is Due (Continued from Page 8) millions would certainly be interested to own a volume containing a record of their success. Such a book would, of course, have to be intelligently edited; and contain ample and well written biographical material. Following this would come condensed versions of the scripts of pictures in which the stars have become world famous. Constant illustrations from the endless file of studio stills would recall vividly to the devotee, the pictures of which the condensed text was the backbone. These, of course, are living and still fabulously successful stars, for whom the volumes would have definite exploi¬ tation value. There are other stars, however, whose personalities have given joy to millions who are no longer liv¬ ing. For these the industry might well pause to publish memorials in the same fashion. Fifty years from now there will be virtually no honorable and assembled record of the works of men and women to whom the motion picture business owes an inestimable debt. First to mind come the names of Marie Dressier and Will Rogers. Equity And Guild Hold Informal Meeting A PPROXIMATELY 500 Equity and Screen Actors’ Guild members at¬ tended an informal meeting held in the Hollywood Masonic Temple, February 6, after the other forms of this publi¬ cation had been printed. Morgan Wal¬ lace acted as chairman and Frank Gill- more, President of Actors’ Equity Association, Kenneth Thomson, Secre¬ tary of the Screen Actors’ Guild, and Paul Turner, Counsel for AEA, were the speakers. General problems in connection with the operations of the two organizations under the newly concluded agreement were discussed, as were the problems of the Equity Association and the Equity Council in New York. Mr. Gillmore outlined briefly the operations of the Forum organization in Equity, while Kenneth Thomson dis¬ cussed certain problems concerning the Equity and the Screen Actors’ Guild affiliation. Questions of those attend¬ ing were answered by the two speakers. Turner concluded the meeting when he issued a note of warning in pointing out the imminent appearance of Tele¬ vision to further complicate actors’ problems.
