Letter from Clarence White to employees of the Ellison-White Chautauqua Bureau, 10 June 1921

Portland, Oregon June 10, 1921

BULLETIN TO FOURS DIRECTORS:

Dear Friends:-

I am working on the Fours for a few days and I am hoping to get things going a little better in the weak spots; and this is particularly to say that I am arranging to send a moving picture machine with the films, and also an operator, to take the place of the slides which Mr. Maurer is using. We think we have this worked out now so that everything will go better, and the plan is to have this operator teach each of the tent men the working of the machine and give them such lessons and instructions that they will be able to operate the machine after being so instructed. At any rate, we will have this operator stay on the job until this can be done successfully, and I am hoping that all will cooperate to have it work this way instead of the necessity of an operator accompanying Mr. Maurer for the entire season.

If you have received word that Colonel John Leader is to be there, please correct this for the second day will not need him when you get the Stefansson films going in good shape.

While I expect to give the Fours considerable attention from the office, I hope soon to announce a new circuit manager, who will take charge of the field work and help put these Fours over in good shape.

With best wishes, I am

Sincerely yours, ELLISON-WHITE ^White^
