THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MOVIES 489 organization bearing the title Western Motion Picture Advertisers has done more for the industry than the lay man and even the producers and studio executives themselves can or ever will realize. There now exists a feeling of comradeship between each and every member of this organization. There exists a feeling of cooperation— a brotherly feeling. One member has an idea. He needs assistance — the aid of another studio or star, whichever the case may be. There exists no barrier between him and that goal — he is immediately recognized in his operations, and is aided by his brother press agent. The membership of the Wampas is some seventy men— all young, ambitious lads, each seeking to do his utmost for his particular star or studio. Their meetings are twice monthly and at these meetings, the biggest powers in the land of finance, industry, accomplishment, meet and talk on topics that are near to the hearts of the membership. It is safe to say that every important man in the motion picture industry — in the banking world — in the civic activities of the great West, has at some time appeared at a Wampas meeting, and given forth his views and suggestions, that the Wampas members might profit in their daily work. It is truly a wonderful combination — this organization of Western Motion Picture Advertisers. Harmony and co-operation are the keynotes of this band of young men daily publicizing to the world/ the activities of the third greatest industry — the motion picture. The Wampas is four years old. In those few short years, it has accomplished much. May it prosper always and may it always be the splendid organization that it is today.
