“AFRA ANTICS”
2
THE
STORY
When the first chapters of the Chicago story were written some twelve years ago, we felt a good measure of modesty was in order. We were then embarking on a noble experiment to determine whether or not there was an ample amount of self-sufficiency in the membership of our organization to support a program of mutual assistance in cases of need and emergency without the necessity of a levy upon members' dues. The results of our experimentation that year were only mildly gratifying, but this much was accomplished — the estab- lishment of the Chicago AFRA Antics, and the establishment of the Chicago AFRA Sick and Benefit Fund, the first such fund, incidentally, to make its appear- ance in any local of the entire national organization. The Sick and Benefit Fund, has, in twelve years, disbursed to AFRAns in need a sum of $22,949.32.
Right here we cannot resist mentioning two other "firsts" of which Chicago AFRA is rather proud. The Chicago Local's Bulletin, official organ of the Chicago chapter, was the forerunner of the many similar organs now published by other locals. The Chicago Serv- icemen's Fund was also first in setting the pattern for the establishment of many such funds throughout AFRA. This Fund has disbursed to AFRA ex-Servicemen a total of $41,035.00.
The history of the problems involved in the planning and staging of the AFRA Antics through the years until this year, 1950, would make entrancing reading for those besides AFRA members. There have been enthusiasts and there have been pessimists; hold-fasters and experimenters; there have been gripes and there have been kudos. All the while changes in approach had to be made to match the changes so char- acteristic of show-business. Top-notch performers in every field of entertainment have appeared on our Antics stage, rendering unremunerated services for which we shall be eternally grateful. And still, each year, after the spotlights had dimmed out and we had counted the comments, we realized we were still experimenting in an effort to find an all-around vehicle for telling the Chicago story to non-AFRAns.
Not until two years ago were we convinced that the type of entertainment such as we offer tonight was the type for which we had been searching for ten years. For now, once a year, we AFRAns can have the pleasure of joining socially with you, the men and women who help move the wheels of our great broadcasting industry, and together make jest of our idiosyncracies, and hold up a mirror to that which is perhaps our most valuable asset — our ingenuity. But most important, we can come away with a feeling that our spirits have been lifted in the process.
On behalf of all the men and women of AFRA, to all the men and women with us tonight who have helped make AFRA a significant reality, we say —
LET JOY REIGN SUPREME!

WELCOME 1950 DELEGATES
WELCOME
1950 marks a notably unique chap- ter in the history of Chicago AFRA. This is Antics-Convention year. On Saturday evening, April 15th, Chica- go AFRA will play host to its many valued friends on the occasion of the 12th Annual AFRA Antics, presenting another original production designed for entertainment in its purest (?) form.
On Friday evening, August 11th, the Antics show will be performed again for the edification of guest del- egates attending the 11th Annual Na- tional AFRA Convention.
In the past, in order to insure a suc- cessful affair, both from the social and histrionic standpoints, we have always tossed away convention at the Antics. This year, we are fondly hop- ing for a double success by not only tossing away convention at the Antics, but by tossing antics at the Conven- tion.
It is our sincere wish that everyone on both occasions will experience a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

"Today is your day and mine, the only day we have, the day in which we play our part. . . What our part may signify in the great whole we may not understand, but we are here to play it, and now is the time. . . . This we know, it is a part of action, not of whining. . . . It is a part of love, not cynicism. ... It is for us to express love in terms of human helpfulness. . . . This we know, for we have learned from sad experience that any other course of life leads to- ward decay and waste."
