The Actors’ Dinner Club came into being a year ago, when at one of Arthur Hopkins' rehearsals Selema Royle, Bes- sie Beatty and her husband, William Sauter, fell to discussing the plight of nlce:y actors, and evolved plans for the club. First headquarters were provided in a church in the East Forties, just off Broadway. Later the club was per- mitted to use the basement of one of the Loew Theaters, but when this site was leased recently it was permitted t> carry on its activities in a Forty-second street restaurant. A permanent home is one of the organization's objectives. Principal support comes from actors who contribute a certain percentage of their salaries each week, and from philanthropic donations.

Those who can't are not required to, but s system has been devised to prevent any one from knowing who has paid and who hasn't. At the same table one may see two employed supporting players who have the money and two old stars who haven't. When the club was in the theater basement non-professional visitors were charged a dollar for dinner and im- promptu_entertainment supplied by the actors. Fifty cents of this was to pay for their own meal, the other half dollar went toward feeding an actor.
