THE TRADE PRESS SEES THE CAMERAMAN THE REPORTER "GOOD DAME" — "Leon Shamroy's photography is a lesson in that art." Paramount. "Lauron Draper, first cameraman, gets a break this week. Last night (February 5) he took off by plane for Dartmouth College, in the hills of New Hampshire. There he will make an MGM Pete Smith short on the annual winter sports. Break for him is that he will make it alone, with no director to tell him what to do. Carried his script in his pocket and the rest is up to his own judgment."
