Excerpt from Showmen's Trade Review, Vol. 35: October 4, 1941 Charlie Skouras' brief speech of acceptance was no mere oratorical flourish when he stated that within a short time Tent 25 Would be one of the most active units in the entire Variety organization. Skouras has put his heart and soul, his tremendous energies and abili ties into the noble work of the Variety Clubs, and it can be said authoritatively that Skouras 1s determined to set a record for all other Tents to aim at. Of equal importance attaching to the new Tent is the fact that through this organization in the heart of the industry's production center, there is a medium of collective expression for the great generosity and charit able acts long characteristic, but little noted outside of Hollywood. Under the able direction of those who have taken up the Variety Club cause there, the cinema city will make its charities felt in the daily lives of under-privileged children and those in need of help.
