5! • ORDER OUT OF DISORDER was the rewarding result as the author sorted out her scrapbook of cine snapshots. The simple opening sequence. establishing her continuity scheme, is seen in frames 1, 2 and 3. Other sequences shown are Small Fry, Pets (with Betty featured), Water Sports. Naturally, my Fishing sequence was far more to That Man's liking. This time I opened with a near shot (10) showing him seated on the grass, the open tackle box before him as he adjusts a reel to the rod. This was cut as he gets up and walks from the scene, and there followed the previously filmed fishing scenes. But even here I did not hesitate to create as needed a number of added closeups to give variety to the long shots. Water Sports as a subtitle offers another wonderful catch-all for your random shooting. I began it (11) with a sequence at the country club swimming pool with its gay beach umbrellas, sun bathers and water nymphs. As a climax to this series I again added new footage (filmed for the purpose) of one of our most comely and competent divers as she sails off the high board in a number of graceful swan dives. Other subject opportunities might be sailboating (especially on race day), water skiing or simply the youngsters splashing in the backyard pool. 1 wound up my picture with a final book labeled Loafing (and, of course, The End title — 12). This book, instead of reading. That Man simply opened, spread over his face and, with the hammock swinging gently, went to sleep. Here was a sequence he played with all the power and conviction of a great artist! And why not? It was Just For Fun.
