The premiere of the club's first two productions, Bayou d'Amour and Air Buddies, each running 400 ft., 16mm. was recently held in the club's studio. In the cast of Bayou d'Amour, a love story of an artist and a country girl, are Janice Pixley, Michael Luizza, Ernestine Watkins, Dumont Paul, Mrs. Charles Richards, Mrs. J. A.
