San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

14 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW November 13, 1909 The Actors' Fund of America A Call to All Those Connected With the Theatrical Profession in America The beginning of our new year for annual membership and registration is Thanksgiving day, November 25th. In order to keep up the good work started last February, all members should make it a point to remit three dollars to the Fund as near that date as possible, for annual dues and registration, as new registration can be used in connection with spring, summer and the following winter seasons' engagements, of course, annual dues must be paid when registering. The Bureau was instrumental in securing several hundred engagements for its members this summer and fall ; all of which speaks well for the success of the Fund's new venture. Its registration bureau is no longer an experiment, it is an established fact. It is confidently hoped, and the present outlook is very encouraging, that by May 1st, five to six thousand names will be on the annual list. Elizabeth Menzeli. Blanche Walsh, Augustus Thomas and David Warfield are a few of the latest names added to the life membership list through the efforts of Thomas McGrath, who is in charge of the new bureau, and he has positive assurance of at least fifty more names before Thanksgiving day. The Fund bureau can only look out for its own supporters, registered members, so if you are not among that large majority it behooves you to join at once. This is a grand profession of ours and public appeals to support our sick and indigent and bury our departed associates is not a dignified proceeding to those of us who take a pride in our noble calling. The reputable managers are doing their best to help us in the good work, and we know that all our brother and sister professionals join us in the hope that every selfrespecting member of our calling will avail themselves of the privilege of becoming an integral part of the Actors' Fund, our great charity. It is the aim of the officers to make the Fund the great clearing house of our profession, as it rightly should be, and the membership therein should be the first requisite to an audience for an engagement with all managers, if we are strong enough in members by May 1st. The question in every manager's office (in New York City at least) should be, "Are you a registered member of the Actors' Fund?" We feel certain that that point will be reached if we can show a registration of 5,000 members of the 01 ^ fession who are willing to help those in their own calling who are unable to help themselves. This should be the representative organization, the natural headquarters of the profession, where everyone connected with the theatre should be known; where every professionals address should be. Is yours there? Bert Phoenix, who was the comedian of the Persse-Mason Opera company, left for New York last week. STEVE I. SIMMONS MAXWELL ALEXANDER Columbia Scenic Studio Co.
