International photographer (Jan-Dec 1941)

The cameras were moved up to a closeup and the Captain repeated his speech, adding this time that anyone would have done the same "where humanity is concerned." The Japanese had quietly faded from the deck. There was some argument as to whether the ruby in the medal was real, the majoritv holding that it probably was. "I'm cold," said the Captain. "We reallv ought to tell what its for,'" said Kluver. They set up the cameras again and someone asked the Captain how it happened. "We were on a return trip from Manila." said the Captain, while the newsreel men squinted in their eyepieces. "We got an SOS from the Bokuro Maru. and we were the nearest ship. When we arrived we found the lifeboats and floating wreckage and we took the people aboard." "We ought to get in something about it exploded and burned to the waters edge, or something like that." said Kluver. "Let's do it over." "It all depends on whether you want the truth or a story," said Captain Hawkins. Grits Teeth A still cameraman asked Kluver to hurry it up. "You're holding up a drink," he complained. Under prodding, the Captain gritted his teeth and told the staring camera that he had come to the Bokuyo Maru, which had fire in the hold, and later exploded and burned to the water's edge, in response to an SOS. The part about his being the nearest ship was deleted. It was suggested that everybody go below for a drink. "1 guess there's no law against it." said Captain Hawkins through chattering teeth. "Where's my medal? I'm cold!" fflBSpEE sizes , The photographer who works with large negatives will appreciate the powerful light and optical system of Solar studio enlargers.

Al tells us how brother Hurrell did Washington's political persons and the New York blue bloods in his inimitable style, creating nothing short of a sensation among New York's distinguished photographers. Strange to say, the work of an ace cameraman, as a rule, implies motion picture work: vet Hurrell's still camera work means more to many eastern lights than anv of our ace cameramen in Hollywood. The camera enthusiast and movie fan only knows an ace cameraman as one By RELLA who stands and directs the photography in Hollywood. Such is the difference of opinion on who's who in the photographic world. © Dewey Wrigley and Lothrop Worth off for Havana, Cuba, and it is rumored that their destination is Lisbon, Portugal.

However, we cannot omit comment concerning Leon Shamroy, whose great interest seems to be in rendering help to those in Local 659. He is found constantly pondering and wondering how an individual organization can substantially aid the cameramen who find^ themselves without work. The spirit of Shamroy is admirable and we feel that his efforts eventually will result in some progressive plan. © George Dye and Tommie Morris each have a pair of twins. © Roy Kluver announces the release of a new star, William Conrad Kluver. produced by Mr. and Mrs. Roy Kluver. © Jack Smith, first cameraman; Kymye Mead and Josiah Roberts, operators: Matt Klusnick, Ken Meade and Frank McDonald, assistants; and Frank Bjerring. still man, leaving for Sun Vallev for MGM.
