Mr. Rembusch said that he was very much interested in Mr. Jones' paper. He stated that the first mirror screens were manufactured by him and were made for narrow theatres, but that the same screen, if placed at the proper distance from the front rows, would serve for wide theatres.

He felt that the method tried would not produce the personnel desired, and that it required the efforts of the entire Society to obtain such members as are truly desirable. He made the suggestion that every member make it his business to pick out the men wanted and send the names to him (Mr. Cudmore) or someone else acquainted with the person suggested. A personal interview should then be arranged with the prospect. He placed the matter before the Board of Governors for their consideration and
