Excerpt from The Screen Guilds' Magazine, Vol. 1: August, 1934 Many men take stuff out of bottles, but Major Forrester puts stuff in them solid chunks of wood and iron several times larger than the bottle necks, baf fling science. His hobby, however, is building exquisite little ship models clippers, four-masted schooners, full rigged - inside small-necked containers. Before the war he put motion pictures inside of cans. Mel S. Forrester was a director. He volunteered for overseas service. After eight years in a hospital, and after holding responsible govern ment positions, he returned to the flick ers. The Major justly feels that those who have devoted their lives to pictures should be given preference by casting directors. He believes that a seasoned trouper should be in every casting office, and that a member of the Actors' Guild should be on the lot to settle disputes for Junior Guilders.
