All our members at some time or other have used the Crown Theatre, in particular the Shorts and Documentary side of the industry. They will be sorry to note that Mr. Frost is no longer active at the Crown, although he is on the board of a new company which has taken over the theatre. We should like to pay a tribute to " Frosty " from the Association for his help over the last twenty years in placing the Crown at the disposal of various sections, in many cases at a nominal rent. Mr. Victor Gover, who has taken over from Mr. Frost, was a prime mover in the setting up of the Crown Theatre, and assures me that the same happy association will continue. Once more wishing you all the best for the festive season and hoping you will make a resolution in the New Year to let me have the material I want for this column.
