The Producing Managers' Association (PMA) was an organization of theatrical managers established in 1919. Formed in an effort to reduce conflicts between producers and theater managers and share common interests, it became the main vehicle for negotiation with the Actors' Equity Association (AEA) during the 1919 actors' strike. ==Formation== By 1919 the former Theatrical Syndicate had dissolved and the theater producers were in disarray, competing among each other and poaching stars while facing common problems of censorship, taxation and ticket speculation. John Golden first floated the idea of a producer's organization to a group who were vacationing in Palm Beach, Florida. He wanted to set up a forum so the producers could share ideas, and wanted stop the rival organizations poaching each others stars. Golden organized a lunch at the Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, attended by about forty managers. Attendees included Golden's fellow producers Fred Zimmerman, Archibald Selwyn, Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., Winchell Smith and L. Lawrence Weber. The PMA was launched by unanimous agreement. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Producing Managers' Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
