 W. H. S. CORPORATION, LTD. The W. H. S. Corporation, Ltd. was organized on the 6-2-4 plan so as to best serve the talents of the actors and actresses all along the line of their artistic pursuits. Thus the work or parts were adjusted to the individual capacities and talents so as to better meet the demands of the public, also allowing for individuality and self-expression, and growth of personality. As a result of this corporation, W. H. S. has a pull with aspiring actors and a hold on the successful ones. This is seen in the long waiting lists, casts, and stars. Many W. H. S. productions have been released and the stars transferred to higher and better companies. The 6-2-4 plan allows a flexibility for adjustment otherwise unattainable in a rigid concern. The only requirement that is basic is a knowledge of literature, especially how to read and interpret scenes. Also before promotion from division two to division four, the graduates must have knowledge not only of how to build sets, but also the essentials of proper wardrobe, and above all the proper diet for successfully withstanding the strenuous ardors of acting. This phase of the training school receives much attention and elicits favorable press notices. The lot for these pursuits is being extended and even new studios added to care for the increasing numbers that steadily arrive. Draftsmanship is being added so that set making will be more accurate and follow the original idea to a completer and better finish. W. H. S. probably puts more stress on this phase of preparation than any other institution in Western Oklahoma. Besides the necessary requirements for set building, wardrobes and diet in division two, these same may be continued in division four and many take advantage of the opportunity. W. H. S. has outgrown its present location and new equipment is being added. Especially needed was a setting-up exercise muscle-builder for the stunt artists and athletic stars. This new location will adequately prepare stars for the thrilling competitions of the screen of W. H. S. In order to scientifically be up-to-date, experimental laboratories for different sciences have been incorporated in the new main location of the W. H. S. Corporation, Ltd., which is just south of the present firm. The department of research and verification will occupy a place in the new location under a skilled director for full time. This is an added feature that W. H. S. is proud to make. The business training for actors for parts as secretaries, stenographers, bookkeepers and accountants is not neglected—three large sets being given over to this special type of training exclusively . H. S. has added a new theatre to the lot where scenes will be taken and previews held. The public are given special notice to watch for preview dates. Besides these special features W. H. S. has provided for easier access to the directors, cast selectors and booking agents by placing the main office in the new location and providing for ample set suitable to such a firm. The whole lot, location and individual sets are equipped with radio attachments so that all news can be sent from headquarters speedily. Also this adds to the publicity program which is largely responsible for the success of W. H. S. In 19 29 W. H. S. Corporation, Ltd., was proud to release several large productions and also promote nearly a hundred capable and able stars into larger fields of endeavors W. H. S. in the future wiil be better able to compete in their field and has ample assurance of success.
