Moral Re-Armament (MRA) was an international movement that developed from American minister Frank Buchman's Oxford Group. Buchman headed MRA from 1938 until his death in 1961.The movement had Christian roots, but it grew into an informal, international network of people of all faiths and backgrounds. Based around what it called the "Four Absolutes" (honesty, purity, unselfishness and love), it encouraged its members to be involved in political and social issues. The name of the group was changed to Initiatives of Change in 2001.; The Lobero is California's oldest, continuously operating theatre, originally founded in 1873 and rebuilt in 1924. It is recognized as one of Santa Barbara's architectural jewels and is a State and City landmark. Photograph caption dated April 20, 1955 reads "Left to right are Ivan Menzies, Reginald Owen and George Frazer in the lavish musical, 'The Vanishing Island,' currently in rehearsal and due for a world premiere April 25 at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara."
