THE AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHIC
9
In Nineteen Twenty-two
Here are the individual dreams of the members of the A. S. C. which they hope may come true in 1922:
President Jackman wants three hundred more pictures to direct, but he wants to choose 'em. After 300 he will be ready to retire.
David Abel dreams of a car big enough to strap a couple of Packards on behind to use in case of accident.
John Arnold hopes Viola Dana will be as popular during the next ten years as she has been during the past five years. That will spell a steady job for John.
Joe August wants Bill Hart to return to the screen and stay there. So do we all, Joe.
Rudolph J. Berquist's big dream is the return to war-time sa'aries. Rudy's dream is, therefore, the biggest dream of the lot.
Karl Brown would like to have time to eat at least one meal a day and have a speaking acquaintance with his family. We sympathize with Karl. We are busy as a one-man car pilot ourself.
Bert Cann wants to see a new Packard limousine standing out in front of the old homestead. Good luck, Bert.
L. Dal Clawson will be at peace with the world if his next contract reads for a term of five years at a certain price. Also Dal could use another Cadillac.
Friend Baker wants everybody to buy one of his new color cameras. Have patience, Friend. They'll do it.
George S. Barnes would be satisfied with two new Marmons and a Cadillac or two.
William J. Beckway wants fifty more pairs of shoes and would like to make a few more pictures in Mexico.
Georges Benoit wants two more pictures like "The Rubaiyat" every year until he hollers' 'nuff.
H. Lyman Broening will be very well pleased if he sells fifty Mitchell cameras before the fade out of '22.
Norbert F. Brodin dreams of a camera that will take a perfect picture in any light, any place, any time. So do we, Norbert, but can we make this dream come true?
Herford T. Cowling would like to stay in one place a little while. He has been every place on earth excepting the Sargasso Sea and he's willing to leave that for Vic Milner.
Allen M. Davey would like to return to France long enough to film a lot of things he saw while fighting there. No, Clarice, Allen, didn't leave anybody behind him there. One of Uncle Sam's daughters is Mrs. Davey.
Faxon M. Dean wants to add another ranch to his collection. Tis a fine hobby.
Ernest S. Depew wants to know if there is a special heaven for the cinematographer who films comedies. Watch Tin: AMERICAN ClNEMATOGRAPHER, Ernest. We'll tell you in the next issue.
Robert S. Doran wants to know just what Hap Depew wants to know. See T. A. C. of issue January 15, Bob.
