YES of the film industry.

ical a voting contest will be held. Every
rague member and visitor to the con-
-erenee will be invited to vote on The
Ten Best Films I Have Ever Seen" The
contest is not to be a mere list. one
reason why a particular film is listed
must be given.
As the producers want to know what
the public wants the results of the vot-
ing contest will be sent to them.
I'VE shall tell you what We want" the
writer's say, "and in return We want
you to tell US which of the ten were
box office successes and which box office
failures With that information in
hand the writers will endeavor to de-
termine with the assistance of the pro-
ducers, why the artistic successes were
failures if they were, and why the sue
cesses succeeded. The writer's intend to
use this information in writing screen
stories that will be both artistic and box
office successes
Another feature to the voting contest
is naming the kind of plays the voter
would like to see produced-fistorical
plays, and if so what episodes and
epochs of history; popular novels and
stage plans on the screen?
Every one who attends the conference
