Rank Aids Deaf Patrons LONDON — Rank Theatres have started a service to mail deaf patrons synopses of all releases. Following a suggestion in a Sunday paper correspondence column, synopses, cast lists, and descriptives were prepared, and the mailing list now covers schools, clubs, and individuals throughout the country. Publica¬ tions catering for the deaf have applauded the scheme with the result that requests have been received from as far afield as Australia. The value of the scheme is shown in the steadily increasing number of requests for the service. Watch for them! NEXT!
