Bay Cities Chapters Pass Resolution
San Francisco Chapter No. 16 held its regular meeting Tuesday, June 9th, with an unusually large attendance. After consuming the midnight luncheon which is now a regular affair at our meetings, the boys listened attentively to Professor Reukema give a brief resume of the incidents that transpired at the S. M. P. E. convention the week previous at Hollywood. The professor with his keen mind grasped some innovations which are about to be utilized in the near future in conjunction with sound pictures, but which at the present time are in an experimental stage. The ultimate use in which he will apply these new discoveries in our forthcoming lectures, should make it imperative, or rather highly essential that all members attend these lectures that they may be prepared to handle efficiently these new appliances which will be part of our working equipment.
President Frank Seavier read off the minutes of the A. P. S. meetings held in Hollywood, also the resolution enacted by the delegates present there from the various chapters. After a short discussion Chapter No. 16 voted unanimously to adopt them.
On June 22nd Oakland Chapter No. 12 brought the resolutions before their members with the same results. Apparently there is no opposition in the Bay cities to this proposition which was drawn up carefully with NO SELFISH motives, but merely to promote the general welfare of the projectionists and enable them to take advantage of the educational opportunities that are open to them. We believe, as do others throughout the United States that the headquarters of our society should be in the heart
of the industry, and what more logical place could we select than Hollywood.
It has become a customary practice lately for Oakland and San Francisco members to attend each others’ meetings, meanwhile a very strong friendship has developed between the two chapters. Several of the San Francisco boys visited Oakland chapter the night that the resolution was brought up for discussion. The Oakland boys always receive us cordially and manage to make our short visit with them as interesting as possible. The meeting was very brief this particular evening, the resolution having passed without one dissenting vote. President Lloyd Litton invited us to his home to tarry a while before embarking for the other side of the Bay. The boats were running irregularly, owing to the heavy fog on the Bay and the prospect of lying up on the Mole waiting for favorable weather conditions did not sound very pleasing nor nearly so attractive as reclining in an easy chair among pleasant surroundings, besides there were a few important subjects to be discussed which were overlooked earlier in the evening.
Brothers Seavier and Litton held a long distance telephone conversation with Los Angeles relative to A. P. S. doings, while Brothers Reinhardt, Munter and Gaffney held short distance conversations checking alibis which each would vouch for in case of an emergency. Bro. Everett said he had a note book full of alibis, given to him by an expert which were 0. K. if not used more than once. We arrived home in San Francisco about 5 a. m., after having spent a very enjoyable evening.
