Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Curtis
Ryan, Austin, whose first child was born
Maj 6 in Austin's St. David's Hospital.
Little Christy weighed in at S pounds and
3 ounces; she has naturally curly dark
brown hair. Curtis was a booth-holder for
his patented Jiffy Franks at the NATO
TEXPO '77 and was looking forward then
to Chrissy's birth. While in Dallas, he visited
Neiman Marcus Specialty Store and purchased
a traditional christening dress as a
Valentine gift for his wife.
CAUTION: Women of the Motion Picture
Industry of Dallas prepare, and have
printed, a directory of the booking agjnts,
circuits, Latin American film exchanges,
supplies and services, film exchanges, theatre
organizations and transportation facilities.
These directories are given free of
charge to exhibitors, distributors and other
organizations in need of these addresses and
telephone numbers. This is the WOMPI
way of saying "Thank you!" to friends who
support WOMPI civic service projects
throughout the year by purchasing pecans,
TV raffle tickets, etc.
Mable Guinan, a WOMPI upon retiring
from Paramount, volunteered her services
as a "trouble shooter" to the exhibitors who
might have need to reach a film exchange
after working hours on Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays. This service is absolutely free
but it has saved as many as 15 telephone
calls exhibitors would have needed to make,
as Mable did, before locating someone to
take care of the exhibitor's problem.
Often the booker or shipper will ask
Mable to tell the exhibitor how the shipment

is being made, etc. Naturally she makes
such a call
collect.
On the WOMPI Film Directory, a notice
appears giving Mable's telephone number;
in the event she cannot be reached, Juanita
White agreed to let her own name be added
to the emergency call list. Both WOMPIs
do all they can to help exhibitors, at no cost
to anyone, insofar as they personally arc
concerned.
Both Mable and Juanita would appreci
ate it if out-of-town exhibitors would please
keep in mind that this is a voluntary service'
these two WOMPIs offer for the exhibitors'
benefit. I herefore. when Mable or Juanita
return an out-of-town call to an exhibitor,
after obtaining from a Dallas industry office
information the exhibitor needs, please do
not refuse to accept the collect call or be
angry or speak unkindly to them, as a
couple of exhibitors have recently. The twe
WOMPIs are merely trying to help out-oftown
exhibitors but certainly are under nc
obligation to anyone to do so.
