Mrs. Elmer G. Derr and Mrs. O. J. Gurwell are President and Vice-President respectivelv of the Club. The newest evidence of the aliveness of this organization reaches us as we go to press. On October 6th and 7th, un- der the auspices of the Club, with the cooperation of The National Board of Review, was held "The First Annual Mo- tion Picture Convention for Ohio" at the Hotel Statler in Cleveland. National ex- perts were expected to address the meet- ings, which were devoted to the serious study of films theatrical and careful con- sideration of the non-theatrical future of the films. We hope to give extended notice of this convention in the next issue of The Educational Screen,
