"The amateur producing unit in San Juan, P. R., led by George R. Mercader, has formally organized as the El Morro Players. The comedy, A Midsummer's Day Dream, in which Adele Behr played the leading role, has already been completed and the El Morro Players are now planning a second production. A tropical storm presented unusual difficulties in the making of the first film, as a sandy beach, used in the earlier scenes, was washed out. Considerable work was necessary before the setting could be used again. Headlines and Reel Golf from the League Club Film Library were screened at a recent program meeting which was well attended." (Gale 84)
