TO Chapter Chairmen and War Fund Chairmen
FROM The Manager
SUBJECT Chairman Davis' Letter on Red Cross Week

in Motion Picture Theatres

Some time ago, we queried some chapters to secure
opinions regarding the benefit of motion picture theatre collec-
tions for the 1944 Red Cross War Fund. The great majority of
chapters replying were strongly in favor of having such a
collection during March if it could be arranged with the Motion
Picture Industry with local option as to timing.

The attached letter from Chairman Davis advises you
of the final decision of the War Activities Committee of the
Motion Picture Industry on our request for their help. All
chapters are urged to discuss arrangements for their communities
with representatives of the Motion Picture Industry. Your
attention is especially called to the fact that while the week
commencing Thursday, March 2%, has been designated for Motion
Picture Theatre collections, the final decision both as to par- -
ticipation and timing is left to each chapter.

Very truly yours,

 

es Keisker
Manager
