The transition from stage to screen was not only a shift in popular
entertainment, but a challenge for those working in the industry as
well. This book looks at all the attempts to organize film actors
into a union, starting from the earliest attempt in 1912 when the
Actors' Equity Association seemed the best platform for such an
effort, to the establishment of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) in
1933 as the best vehicle to represent film actors. As described
here, another four years passed before SAG was formally recognized
by film producers and the first contract was signed.
