BACK IN LIMELIGHT
LONDON. At least 600 actors and actresses now being demobbed will be helped to resume their careers by British Actors’ Equity, which is opening a bureau for the purpose in Coventry Street, W. “We are asserting ourselves as a trade union,” Sir Lewis Casson, president of Equity, said, “but all actors released from war sez'vice can register, whether they are Equity members or not.” The bureau will be maintained free of cost to clients, through the Equity War Relief Fund, which was started by Dame May Whitty, Heather Thatcher, and other British players, in Hollywood in 1940.
