The group, which represents several hundred girls employed in theatre offices, film exchanges and affiliated industries, suspended activities during the war. The club plans to rent offices and club rooms in a centrally located building, and will also engage in local civic betterment movements and tendering aid to European and Filipino children. Possibilities of establishing similar Film Colony Clubs throughout the country are being explored. The club is also affiliated with the Federation of Women's Clubs. The first meeting, November 8, will be a buffet dinner party at the offices of the California Theatres Association.

The first of the series is "Clandestine," glorifying the role of the American G. I. in the liberation of Paris. It will be shown in New York in December.

In Class A-II, unobjectionable for adults, were "Lady in the Lake," "Man from Morocco," "The Razor's Edge," "San Quentin" and "The Time, the Place, the Girl." "The Verdict" was placed in Class B, objectionable in part, because of "light treatment of marriage ; suggestive lines ; suggestive dance."
