editorial
® This first issue of FAMOUS NEWS marks the beginning of a new service to Famous Players employees — your own magazine!
Well...perhaps not exactly a ‘‘service’’ in the strictest sense of the word because it is going to require some legwork from you.
The purpose of FAMOUS NEWS is to circulate news about our company within our company, which is no easy task. With over 4,500 employees scattered in regional offices and 224 theatres across Canada, (not to mention staff in Gatlinburg, Niagara Falls and Seattle) nothing short of a hoard of reporters planted in each location can provide us with the news we need.
So, we’re asking you to be our sources of information; to be our
famil

reporters. In fact, we’re ‘‘telling’’ you, (nicely, of course) because without a group effort, a house publication like FAMOUS NEWS will not go far. We want our magazine to transcend Head Office in Toronto where it is presently anchored. Our channel of communication is officially open FAMOUS NEWS is it!
Call us, telex us, write us, send us your pictures.Drop by and visit us when you’re in town. Let’s get to know about each other in print. Use this first issue as a prototype but let’s do it one and two and 50 times better.
There’s a special place for all of you in FAMOUS NEWS. @
M.T.
Send us black and white pictures of yourselves, your families, your employees, etc. for our FAMILY ALBUM. A note explaining the photo would be appreciated.
Patrons at the Capitol Theatre in London may think they are experiencing double vision, but what they are really seeing are Penny and Kathy Karas, identical twins. The pair was hired by manager Larry Greene who admits he still has difficulty telling them apart.
