For instance, take a ook at the following report just revived here from Berlin. DAS 1ST EIN FILM! These four German words form one )hrase chosen by a leading Berlin newspaper to register amazing enthusiasm for "Cavalcade," the picture glorifyng British patriotism and England's lational pride and honor made by Fox Films. And fourteen years ago, Germany and England were entertaining aerhaps the most bitter hatred ever jnown to man! THIS ISA FILM! This one phrase, in its simplicity, Joes not reach the heights of ecstatic jraise accorded the picture in Gernany, but it typifies the unanimous approval of citizens and critics alike on :he occasion of the recent premiere showing of the epochal film in Germany, when this picture made in Holywood but laid in its entirety in Great Britain, gained Berlin's recognition as he biggest picture of the year.

The crisis caused by the Articles in question is merely another in the long series of crises which occur in this industry. Two others, the fifty per cent cut and proposed Artists Booking Bureau, have taken place this year. Each of these crises found the actor body disorganized, or at best, represented by a very small group. It became clear to some of us that if we were to be able to meet these constantly changing problems and protect the rights of the actors, a strong, representative, permanent and autonomous organization of actors was needed. It was to fill this need that the Guild was formed. Among the suggestions made by the Guild to the Deputy Administrator during the Code Conferences were three specific Articles affecting the free lance player. First was the abandonment of deals; the second was that no contract actor be employed on more than one picture at a time; third, that the practice of loaning contract players between studios be prohibited.
