Thursday, February 1, 1945 SOCIETY WOMEN'S ACT By NORMA NIPP Phone 2206 Book Section Told Of Trends In Movies And Literature Producers of motion pictures as well as writers reflect the trend of public thinking and they sell to the best paying customers Mrs. Mark Getting of Placentia told members of the Anaheim Ebell Book section Monday afternoon when a large group met at the clubhouse lounge. Trends vary and change quickly she said and at the moment the kindliness and humor of the small American town are being dramatized while only a few years ago it was the big cities and the exciting life in them that captured the fancy of the public. She pointed out that now motion picture producers mostly purchase rights for production on the best sellers where in the past they hired their own writers to conjure up stories. The speaker was presented by Mrs. Cortez Hoskins and the program was preceded by a pot luck luncheon with Mrs. Richard Ryan and Mrs. W. W. Barnett acting as hostesses. Peach blossoms and camellias centered each of the tables.
