"APPROXIMATELY one hun- dred and twenty-five executives and employees of Bell & Howell Company's main office and factory in Chicago, 111., have formed the Filmo Movie Club. The club's purpose is to provide an opportunity for co-ordinated activity in all phases of amateur movie making. The initial effort of the new club will be the production of an amateur photoplay to be entitled "The Widow's Might." The scenario was prepared by a committee of club members." (Gale 716)
