62 • THE ARTISAN WINTER 2018
Still the Same
LAST LOOKS
The family of make-up artist Dick Narr
contributed memorabilia to Local 706. This red
invitation was a souvenir from the 4th annual
dinner dance of the Motion Picture Make-up
Artists Association, held at the Roosevelt Hotel
in 1931. The banquet committee consisted of
Mel Berns, Bert Hadley and George Westmore
(founding members of IATSE Local 706). Note
the outgoing "Tired and Exhausted" officers
from 1930-1931, and "The New, Optimistic"
officers from 1931-1932. Our Guild was chartered
in 1937, but it shows that things truly have not
changed. (Working six days a week back then
was not uncommon.)
