"The Cinema Club in Toronto has reorganized and adopted as its new name, The Canadian Cinema Club. A provincial charter has been obtained and permanent headquarters secured in which laboratory and studio equipment are being installed so that members interested in the more technical phases of movie making can do their own processing. Meetings are being held weekly and the club, the address of which is 69 Adelaide Street, East, will welcome new members. Membership is not restricted to owners of equipment and anyone interested in amateur filming may join. R. Michener is president of the reorganized club; J. Robertson, vice president; J. Maclagan, secretary treasurer. "Canadian Cinema," Movie Makers, January 1931, p. 49.
