A big job. Peter J. Schaefer is a big man and there is no question but what he now has a big job figured from the angle that if he doesn't make the job big he's belittling himself. No exhibitors' league can go on as we have had leagues in the past. Either it must be big or it must die. Pete Schaefer is a big man physically and mentally. He has done things. The first impression is that of a big, lovable boy who has refused to grow old. He is wealthy and he knows how to enjoy life. I think he went into the contest for presidency of the league in a spirit of boyish love of contest. When he got started he began to see the magnitude of the possibilities. When the brief contest was finished and he was unanimously elected he began to realize fully the difficulties confronting him. I think his boyish enthusiasm is going to swing him into action hard. He does not claim to be a speaker, but he's likeable. If he thinks big and carefully forgets petty politics and plays square he can do wonderful things for the exhibitor and be the biggest man in the film business. I'm for Peter J. Schaefer. It's your duty to be for him, and decidedly your duty to join an exhibitors' association and work to do your duty. We'll all help Mr. Schaefer. In a few months we'll know what is being accomplished. If Peter J. Schaefer slips I'll tell you the minute I get any such angle. But, Boys — the slate is clean — let's start right — let's have a real exhibitors' organization to battle intelligently on legislative problems ; to meet with the producers on points of difference. And above all to do everything possible to help win the war. Don't just think about it. Now do something. ti>A
