That our friend rates high in tha stimation of those who are niliar with his professional work s evident from ene further inci- dent in his biography. When the selznick Office in Hollywood was Jbout to begin casting “The Keys f the Kingdom,” a production of ery considerable importance, Dicg Peter was one of the young actors selected to receive a test for eading role.

As a matter of fact, the whole set | f new officers and Council Mem- sers seems to us to represent the 2xercise of most excellent judgment by the GSO. Here is the support for our con- clusion: Shirley, Kleweno was chosen Vice President, and Mona Everetts is the new Secretary. Thg following, in 'addition to the of- | iicers, constitute the Council: Neva Downs, Mary Jane Harrington, |Eileen ' Hellan, Florence Jensen, Jennie Johnson, Loreen Krause, {Erna Meier, Luise Nielsen, Jean {Shaw, Mary Shaw, Marjorie Snell, |and Mary Tubbs. | Now you see why we look for- ward confidently to the successful operation of the GSO during: the | nonths ahead.
