at the second floor meeting hall designated by the Illini Fantasy Fictioneers as the place of the World Convention. They arrived from all parts of the country and by all manner of travel. Several fans—Forrest Ackerman, Paul Freehafer, Moro jo and Pogo (lest you readers go mad these are the noms-de-fantasie of Myrtle R. Douglas and her niece)—came by train from Los Angeles. Riding the dangerous way, underneath a freight train, came Denver's Olon F. Wiggins and Lew Martin. Others came by car, by train, on bicycles, or just plain walked. Washington, Boston, New York City, Cleveland; Indiana and Michigan, Wisconsin and Wyoming, all were represented. One car full of fans turned over on the road; unhurt, they just picked it up, put it back on its wheels, and drove on to Chicago! Others almost starved themselves to make the trip, but they made it. When fantasy demands it, apparently nothing can stop the fans! At the first session of the Convention, the assembly heard speeches of introduction from almost everyone there. Chairmen Mark Reinsberg, Bob Tucker, and Erie Korshak carried through the order in good style. Words were heard from Jerome Siegal (creator of Superman), Don Wilcox, Charles R. Tanner, J. Chapman Miske, John B. Michel, Helen Weinbaum, Lee Gregor, Jack Speer, Ross Rocklynne, Julius Schwartz, David Wright O'Brien and your editor. A very interesting and odd motion picture was shown which had been literally scraped off a Hollywood cutting room floor. Titled "Monsters of the Moon," the film was made up of parts that had been cut out of a trailer announcing the film of that name. Ackerman and Bob Tucker | |||||||||||||
