Quote:
"Miss MacDonald is the energy source behind Doomsday [Studios]. She put up the cash to buy the equipment and get the studio in operation, out of her earnings as information officer in the federal Government. [...] The studio's material facilities were put together by her ingenuity and unerring eye for the main chance: thus, the discovery of an unused animation stand and camera at Dalhousie University—its purchase provided the crucial piece of equipment to get started—a drafting table from government surplus, a viewer from here, a movieola from there."
