American cinematographer (Jan-Dec 1926)

February, 1926 AMERICAN CINEM ATOGR APHER Twenty-one New Hollywood Studio Club Soon Ready for Occupancy The Hollywood Studio Club tor girls which is being erected by the National Board of the Y. W. C. A., at the corner of Lodi Place and Lexington Avenue, is nearing completion and will be read}' for occupancy late in February. Girls and women of the motion picture industry are watching its progress with interest — as a club house and centre of activities as well as a residence for the eighty girls who will live there. A central patio, a large studio for dancing or amateur theatrical performances, writing, make-up and rest rooms are some of the features which will serve all members of the club. Membership plans will be worked out early in 1926 and an opportunity will be given for all girls and women who are interested in its purpose and affiliated with the picture industry, to become members. The opening date will be announced later. Miss Julia Morgan, the architect, met with the committee last week at the home of Mrs. Cecil B. de Mille, and plans for furnishing and equipment were discussed. The entire cost of the building and lot have been met by funds raised by a building campaign conducted in 1923 to which most of the motion picture corporations and more than 2000 people contributed, together with the profit realized from the sale of the old property on Carlos Avenue. The furnishing and equipment will cost $25,000 more and the committee has just sent out an appeal for contributions to this fund. They have suggested that gifts be made personal by designating what items of furniture and equipment they are to cover and have submitted this partial list of items with their estimated cost : Furnishing one of the 50 single bedrooms ..$ 150.00 Furnishing one of the 20 double bedrooms 200.00 China and glass 500.00 Dishwashing machine 500.00 Linen 1,000.00 Electric light fixtures 1,000.00 Office furniture and equipment 600.00 Garden 500.00 Dining room furniture and draperies 1,500.00 Estimates have not yet been made on other articles needed, including piano, and projector. Among those who have already responded are the Feagans Co., Mar)' Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Florence Vidor, Mr. and Mrs. Lucien Littlefield. A fund of $3,000 was raised some time ago by girls who lived at the old club and the decision as to how it is to be used will be left to their committee.

Here to keep you happy "Under the Coops" IN the old days you frequently heard of some temperamental star refusing to work under anything but Cooper Hewitt light. Now they don't get a chance to refuse. Roam as you will, it's hard to find a studio that isn't busy and happy "under the Coops." We think service has a lot to do with it. And that's what we are here for. No need to worry about anything with "Mike" Shannon on the job. Wire, write or phone! COOPER HEWITT ELECTRIC CO.
